Cooling冷却
Concept
The story unfolds in the Soviet Union times (the 1980s). A hot summer day in a government organization where many documents are kept. A nice-looking young female employee wearing a light summer dress is trying to escape the heat. She’s alone in the office. The only way to cool down her sweaty ass is to put an old fan on the chair, switch it on and turn her back to it, having put her panties off.
Inspiration
I was inspired by this photoshoot when I was buying an old fan at the market. I had the same one in my childhood. Likewise, I remember standing in front of it on hot summer days and trying to escape the heat in pretty much the same way.
Choice of colors
Although the photo was taken in winter, and was pretty cool in the office, I had to convey the feeling of a hot and stuffy sunny day. Hence, the photo was supposed to have warm colors. I removed all the cold elements to do so and left only the fan with blue blades. It was chosen as an accent element, drawing the viewer’s attention.
Outfits
One of the most essential details of this photo shoot was the girl’s beautiful, slim body. I cut off its lining to make it visible, which became almost see-through. The color of the dress was neutral and non-catching. In this case, a beige, a blue or a pink dress would also look good.
One of the most important criteria for the choice of the dress was its non-tight fit below the waist. It was supposed to be light and loose and blown by the wind.
Background
The girl was posing in the office of Housing and Communal Services. Everything around her and behind her was employees’ belongings. To emphasize the era of the 1980s, when computers were unavailable, I put a typewriter I’d taken with me on the table. I slightly opened its drawers to make a gray metallic documents storage box look more attractive in the shot.
I also hung Lenin’s portrait on this box, which seemed to have turned away from that shame. Besides, I added another unique accessory – an old desk lamp, which I’d placed on the documents behind the model’s head. It made the photo a sort of vintage.
Hair and makeup
Since my idea was to show a stuffy room, the model’s hair was styled as a ponytail. Loose hair would have been inappropriate in this case. The model’s makeup was nude as she turned her side to the viewer and was almost invisible.
Light
The photoshoot took place in sunny weather during the daytime. The light wall was behind the camera. It worked well as a reflector, illuminating those body parts located opposite the light source.
Posing
To cool the buttocks down most effectively, the girl had to turn her buttocks towards the fan. As she bent down, the girl rested her elbows on the desk. To beautifully show her buttocks and legs, the girl leaned on her left leg, bent the right one, and slightly turned her buttocks towards the camera. This pose was perfect in our case. She took the eyeglasses in her right hand, brought them close to her face, and touched their temple tips with her lips. She did it to let both her hands rest on the table. Firstly, it made the pose and the photo more interesting; secondly, the model’s hands holding something are always more interesting than the empty ones.
The model’s pose is quite natural yet complicated for a photographer. It took me over 20 minutes to position the model appropriately for this shot.
Camera and optical features
Nikon D750, Sigma 35 1.4 F4 1/50 ISO 800. It was crucial to show the rotating fan blades in motion and at the same time to make them visible. In this case, the most important filming parameter was shutter speed. At the longer shutter speed, the edges are almost invisible, while the shorter shutter speed makes them excessively clear, which leads to the disappearance of their rotation effect.
Depth of field
The depth of field was chosen so that the focus was placed on the girl and everything around her (the table, the fan with the chair). Separate parts of the office are blurred so that it is possible to see all the details and accessories available in the office. If the aperture had been opened too widely, the background would have been too blurred, and all exciting detail would have been indistinct. If the aperture was too closed and the background was too sharp, the girl’s face would be hard to distinguish amidst the folders behind her face.
Shooting angle
The camera was standing on a tripod opposite the girl’s ass. Yet, her buttocks and all the necessary elements (the girl, the room, the fan) were visible. If the camera had been moved more to the left, the excessive accent would have been placed on the buttocks, and if more to the right, the right buttock would have been the main focus. I could have moved the camera a bit lower. It wouldn’t have harmed the photo. However, moving the camera higher would have focused more on the girl’s back instead of her beautiful ass.
Cropping
The shot was cropped by the curtains and partially by the colors that didn’t contain any details. At the bottom, the shot was cut by the model’s feet, as the highlight of this photo is her beautiful ass and slim legs. On the right and on the left, the shot is cropped in such a way that the viewer has an idea of what it is. Deeper cropping (cropping the furniture), I believe, would have harmed the photo as it would mean removing some important and colorful elements of the room.
Expression
The girl feels excellent; she enjoys the flow of freshness. Her eyes closed with pleasure, and her wide smile testified to her genuine delight. Keeping in mind that the photo contains some humor and is supposed to cause the viewer to smile, this emotion enhances and emphasizes this atmosphere. A gloomy or concentrated face doesn’t suit this photoshoot at all.
Post-processing
Like many of my photos taken in the Soviet Union style, the processing seeks to highlight this timeline. This includes film tones, low contrast, and slight blurring. Modern processing employing bright colors and deep details is inappropriate in this case.

概念
故事发生在苏联时代(20世纪80年代)。炎热的夏日,政府机构内保存着许多文件。一位年轻漂亮的女员工穿着浅色夏装,正在避暑。办公室里只有她一个人。让她出汗的屁股凉下来的唯一方法就是在椅子上放一把旧风扇,打开它,然后把内裤脱掉,让她背对着风扇。
灵感
当我在市场上购买旧风扇时,我受到了这张照片的启发。我小时候也有过同样的经历。同样,我记得在炎热的夏天站在它前面,试图以几乎相同的方式躲避炎热。
颜色选择
虽然这张照片是在冬天拍摄的,而且办公室里很凉爽,但我必须传达出阳光明媚又闷热的感觉。因此,照片应该是暖色调。为此,我移除了所有冷元件,只留下带有蓝色叶片的风扇。它被选为重点元素,吸引观众的注意力。
服装
这张照片拍摄中最重要的细节之一是女孩美丽苗条的身材。我剪掉了它的衬里以使其可见,它变得几乎透明。这件衣服的颜色是中性的,不引人注目。在这种情况下,米色、蓝色或粉色的连衣裙也会很好看。
选择连衣裙最重要的标准之一是腰部以下不紧身。它应该是轻的、松散的、可以被风吹动的。
背景
这名女孩当时在住房和公共服务办公室摆姿势。她周围和身后的一切都是员工的物品。为了强调 20 世纪 80 年代的时代,当时还没有电脑,我把随身携带的一台打字机放在桌子上。我稍微打开了抽屉,使灰色金属文件存储盒在照片中看起来更有吸引力。
我还在这个盒子上挂了列宁的肖像,似乎摆脱了那种耻辱。此外,我还添加了另一个独特的配件——一盏旧台灯,我把它放在模特头后面的文件上。这让这张照片有一种复古的感觉。
头发和化妆
由于我的想法是展示一个闷热的房间,所以模特的头发被设计成马尾辫。在这种情况下,松散的头发是不合适的。模特化着裸妆,侧身面向观众,几乎看不见。
光
此次拍摄是在白天天气晴朗的情况下进行的。光墙位于相机后面。它作为反射器效果很好,可以照亮位于光源对面的身体部位。
摆姿势
为了最有效地让臀部降温,女孩必须将臀部转向风扇。女孩弯下腰,将手肘撑在桌子上。为了漂亮地展示自己的臀部和腿部,女孩左腿倾斜,右腿弯曲,臀部稍微转向镜头。这个姿势对我们来说是完美的。她用右手拿起眼镜,将它们靠近脸,用嘴唇触碰太阳穴的尖端。她这样做是为了让双手放在桌子上。首先,它使姿势和照片变得更有趣;其次,模特手里拿着东西的总是比空着的手更有趣。
模特的姿势对于摄影师来说很自然但又很复杂。我花了 20 多分钟才将模型放置到适合这张照片的位置。
相机和光学特性
Nikon D750、Sigma 35 1.4 F4 1/50 ISO 800。展示旋转的风扇叶片并同时使其可见是至关重要的。在这种情况下,最重要的拍摄参数是快门速度。在较长的快门速度下,边缘几乎看不见,而较短的快门速度则使边缘过于清晰,从而导致其旋转效果消失。
景深
选择景深,以便将焦点放在女孩和她周围的一切(桌子、风扇和椅子)上。办公室的各个部分都被模糊化,以便可以看到办公室中可用的所有细节和配件。如果光圈开得太大,背景就会太模糊,所有令人兴奋的细节都会变得模糊。如果光圈太小,背景太锐利,女孩的脸在她脸后面的文件夹中就很难辨认出来。
拍摄角度
相机站在女孩屁股对面的三脚架上。然而,她的臀部和所有必要的元素(女孩、房间、风扇)都是可见的。如果镜头再向左移动,过多的重点就会集中在臀部上,如果再向右移动,右臀部就会成为主要焦点。我本来可以把相机移低一点。这不会损害照片。然而,将相机移得更高会更多地聚焦在女孩的背部而不是她美丽的屁股上。
裁剪
这张照片被窗帘和部分颜色剪裁,不包含任何细节。底部的镜头是被模特的脚切开的,因为这张照片的亮点是她美丽的屁股和纤细的双腿。在右侧和左侧,镜头的裁剪方式使观看者知道它是什么。我认为,更深的裁剪(裁剪家具)会损害照片,因为这意味着删除房间中一些重要且色彩缤纷的元素。
表达
女孩感觉很棒;她享受新鲜感的流动。她高兴地闭上眼睛,灿烂的笑容证明了她真正的高兴。请记住,照片包含一些幽默并且应该让观看者微笑,这种情感增强并强调了这种氛围。阴沉或专注的脸根本不适合这张照片。
后期处理
就像我以苏联风格拍摄的许多照片一样,处理过程旨在突出这条时间线。这包括胶片色调、低对比度和轻微模糊。在这种情况下,采用明亮颜色和深层细节的现代处理是不合适的。
