The Gallery Flashback by OiMax has been renewed. It was once for another person’s pictures but now the originals came back. This time it will be until late April. There are three categories, model shot, landscape, and kimono. The old ones are exhibited in the second floor.
The kimono with parasol series was taken for a famous magazine, SL-Unplugged, according to a request by the model, who seems to be a professional once appeared in a center fold of another magazine.
This is one of my favorites. The nice pose, layout of clothing, and shadow are so good that I cannot do myself. In some photo lesson, they said that three most important issues are object, lighting, and trimming. But I think the key is the object and how to shoot it.
The pictures were taken in the winter and there are some with snow. I love this too. The layout of the kimono and parasol is cool! Unfortunately, there are some overwraps in the figures but it could be OiMax’s policy not to retouch after shooting. I have a bad habit to modify pictures, so it was hard to attend photo contests that allow neither retouch, trimming, nor even saving.
There are some pictures of models. OiMax is very good to handle small properties such as the beer server or lamps in the previous works. Also, the background was considered meticulously as a professional cameraman.
The models are also beautiful. I love the facial expression of the small head, cool hair, and the rich belly. It is hard to get this kind of avatar.
There is a Café on the ground. Now the cherry in full bloom and the ground covered by petals of it are awesome. I retouched several parts of this picture. It was impossible to cover the cherry branch penetrating the roof though. The magazine is set behind the counter. The gallery can be reached directly or TP from here.
