Description

this image was originally photographed in 2007 for guundie kuchling's children's book 'with love from head to toe'. when the call went out by the publisher to different photographers to submit 3 photos of how they would illustrate guundie's text, i knew immediately that my 'model' had to be my friend's beautiful daughter carly. i also knew that my photographic interpretation of gundie’s text would be black and white and only the respective body part(s) any particular page referred to i would have in color - with well blended edges. at the time, i had only reluctantly started with digital photography the year before when my loving partner bought me a little kodak camera with 4.5 megapixels. him carefully nudging me into the digital age made me eventually use my beloved manual nikon F2 less and less...

so, this and the other 2 sample images i submitted to the publisher were done with this little kodak camera; only when I – immediately - got the job, i realized the time had come to fully change over to digital photography. because i used to carry around up to 12 kg of equipment in my professional time in austria, i wanted something that is light yet of good image quality and an 'all in one' tool. after some research i ended up buying a panasonic lumix fz-50, which has a leica lens and fulfilled all other criteria that i was looking for at the time, as well.

‘carly with hundreds and thousands’ became the ‘star image’ of the book and ‘THE portrait’ example in my photography classes. what I especially enjoyed in my courses, was when students said “wow… yeaahhh… but for that you NEED a better camera”. then i would pull out the little kodak that I brought for that purpose and say: “you really think so? THAT very image in the book was taken with THIS camera…”

and now I hope that you like this image just as much!
