On the one hand it was the best places that my wife Emily, our friend FeiFei and myself could have asked for: the photokina 2012 trade fair in Cologne, Germany.

But our task was to shoot dramatic lingerie at such a romantic location as a stage in the middle of the trade fair with a few kilowatts of ugly stage light upon us. Lingerie and photokina? Well, we tried to make the best out of it. Maybe our shoot can give you the one or the other inspiration for what you can do when shooting lingerie in a less than ideal place.

I wish you good light!
