Photographers, how often have you worked under a challenging light or in a tiny and gloomy environment? Models, have you ever posed inside a ship? I had never done it before and I clearly had no idea how pitch dark it could be inside there! While visiting friends in Hamburg, an acquaintance asked me to pose for him on the gorgeous Rickmer Rickmers and it was all a revelation to me. I found out that I like soft lighting, not only of B&W photos but also of photos where dark, sombre tones and black predominate. The outcome was a photo shoot that tasted of an early 20th century Atlantic atmosphere. Thank you, Mohammad, for these lovely memories!
