Painting Images With Light

The Part 11

Started, the process of shooting Bagio who posed on the rocks, like a professional model, by Karenina, with the help of Yanto who became a light stylist.

Bagio, the impromptu model, acts in his best style, under Karenina's direction.

Chest style, butterfly style, mixed style, frog style ... Uh! ... Wait, whoa! Something seems wrong.... Not that style!

"Tilt a little, bang! ... Again! ... Okay! Hold it!"

"His head is down! ... Okay! Hold it!"

"Yanto! Thirty degrees to the left! Okay!"

"His hands seem to be holding bangs, bang! His elbow was pushed out! ... Okay! Hold it!"

"Don't smile, bang! Keep your feet on your face! ... Stiff eyes! ... Okay! Hold it!"

Who would have thought, if the small-bodied Karenina, when giving cues for all the styles of Bagio, it could emit a loud voice that echoed, and was able to penetrate the noise of the sound of the waterfall.

Karenina looked earnest with what she was doing, until her long hair tied in a ponytail, was seen swinging behind her, as she moved to her stand, by the river.

"OKay! Enough's enough!" said Karenina suddenly, then gave a new direction, "Abang change her clothes. Wear a plain white shirt, with milk-brown shorts."

As Bagio walked over the rocks, to return to the riverbank, Bagio still noticed the movements of Karenina.

Karenina looks busy pairing the cable in the camera, then the other end of the cable is attached to a device, which according to Yanto, the object is called 'Laptop'.

"Portable computer. Nina used to check the shooting results. You can edit photos." As Yanto said earlier, when Bagio asked what it was.

Bagio hurriedly changed his clothes, in order to have a chance to see what Karenina was doing on the laptop, before Karenina started shooting again.

After changing clothes, Bagio who did not want to dirty his pants, then crouched down near Karenina who was sitting on the grass.

"Do you see the results?" ask Karenina.

And, before Bagio answered his question, Karenina had shifted the position of the laptop on her lap a little, so that Bagio could also see the display on the screen of the object.

In the photos that appear on the laptop screen, Bagio looks handsome, and looks like someone else who is different from his actual self.

It was very surprising for Bagio, because he never saw the side of his face and body like in the photo, even though he almost every day saw a shadow of himself in front of the mirror.

Thus, Bagio so understand why the photographer must have expertise, to have to increase his knowledge by attending a special school of photography, and not just photographing carelessly.

"Good?" asked Karenina to throw away the Bagio daydream.

Bagio nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

Karenina then folded the laptop shut. "I need to save the battery. Later you can see as much as you can, if we've gone home."

"Are we taking another photo?" ask Bagio.

"We can rest for a while. Inside the bag, there was a bit of snack and drinking water. Take it yourself." Karenina pointed at a medium-sized bag, with a look in her eyes.

Bagio took out two bottles of mineral water, and opened the bottle cap, then gave one bottle of water to Karenina.

"Thank you," said Karenina, while receiving a bottle of mineral water from Bagio's hand, and immediately sipped the contents slightly.

"What use is Yanto's reflector board holding?" ask Bagio curious.

"The silver color to reflect light in the direction I want, so that there is no dark side in the body of the brother....

... While the black one, to reduce the reflection of sunlight from the surface of the water, so it does not interfere with the contrast of the photo," Karenina explained.

"If this one is—" Karenina then shows the extra tip, which is attached to her photo camera.

"Photography if it is just a hobby, it will be an expensive hobby" Yanto said. "The equipment that Karenina carries now alone, can already cost tens to hundreds of millions."

While looking at Yanto fixedly, Karenina shook her head. "Batan Bagio didn't ask for the price."

"Hehe ... I just want to tell him" said Yanto, with a stupid look on his face.

"Abang in the photo with a natural look only, the results are good. Imagine, if bang Bagio became a real model. Ckck!...

...Bang Bagio was dressed up, his hair was made stylish, not to mention cool and stylish clothes. Hm ... I don't know what the handsome is....

... Perhaps, you might be invited to work with famous photographers, with a fairly high fee," said Yanto.

"Yes, bang! That's right Yanto said. If you are interested in becoming a real model, I might be able to help a little" said Karenina.

"I'm just a village. School alone does not graduate from high school. Can you dream like that?!" said Bagio with a smile.

"Eh! You don't know, do you?! You don't have to go to high school if you want to be a model....

... The important thing is that the appearance of the brother is attractive, and at best, a little extra in the course so that you can know how to pose well" said Yanto.

"Are you right, Nin?" Yanto seemed to want to get approval from Karenina, for the statement he gave earlier.

Karenina who was drinking her mineral water, then nodded her head. "Yes." Yeah."

Karenina wiped a little of the remaining water that washed the tip of her mouth with the back of her hand, then said, "Let's continue shooting!"

"Now, brother down to the river! The waterfall that will be the background of the photo," continued Karenina.

Each of the three of them then took a position, and got ready to continue his photo session.

Standing in a shallow part of the river, Bagio asked Karenina to turn her back.

"Abang turned! ... Then, your head turned to the left side!" Karenina.

"Now! ... His eyes looked straight, bang! ... Okay! Hold it!" karenina continued with her cues.

Bagio obeyed all Karenina's directives, without commenting anything.

The photo results from the photo shoot conducted by Karenina, which was seen by Bagio on the laptop screen, made Bagio able to appreciate the performance and sincerity of Karenina.

So that, at first Bagio was still shy and a little hesitant, this time he wanted to do everything in earnest.

With hope, if the picture will be even better, than the first one.

"Bang! ... Wet your brother's hair!" Karenina.

When Bagio wet his hair with river water, the remnants of water from his scalp, ran down his face, and Bagio intended to wipe it, but Karenina immediately forbade it.

"No need on the lap!"

Karenina then approached Bagio, then made a thumb from Bagio's left hand, into his pants pocket, so that Bagio's hand seemed to be hanging there.

While Bagio's right hand, made Karenina as if Bagio was holding her hair, so as not to block her forehead.

Likewise with the face of Bagio, which directed Karenina, to turn to the right of Bagio.

"The song lifted up a little! Eyes closed! ... Okay! ... Hold it!" Karenina half ran back to her starting position, then took another picture of Bagio.

"Good! ... Now hold his position, but brother's eyes opened and then stared straight!" Karenina.

After a long time they did a photo shoot there, Bagio finally got used to Karenina's direction, and no longer have trouble following the rhythm.
