This year I want to photograph a bit more themed shoots as well. One of the themes that I had in my mind for a while now is chess. Of course inspired by The Queen’s Gambit series. But we did the shoot in our own style.
So I posted a casting call and got a response from Hamest. You can find more about hamest at:

Hamest brought some cool over-the-top outfits to the shoot which added up great to the atmosphere in the images very well. It was a challenging and interesting shoot. Challenging for me because of the different angles and setup. I like being out of my comfort zone because that forces me to be creative. I really like the images that came out of it.
Here are some of the results:
-
- Hamest – The final chess move
-
- Hamest – Checkmate
-
- Hamest – Queens and kings
Thank you very much for this collaboration Hamest. I had a great shoot with you.
