Race and Religious

  

Not color or religion but cross streets of an amazing location rich in heritage and eclectic style hidden in plain sight.   The beautiful and lovely Candace Nirvana strolling the grounds.

I just love the cat in this image!  Oh those eyes.

Experimental

Sometimes I have no concept, no thoughts, no plan,  but I still shoot.  Pushing myself to find beauty, art, soul in what I am trying to do.

I don't want to have my picture taken

Me:  But wait a minute you're  model, right? 
Model: Yes.  but I hate to have my picture taken.
Me:  I'm a little confused here,  this is what you do for a living... do you not like it that much?
Model:  No.  I love modeling I just hate to have my picture taken.   I prefer to create art,  something with meaning not just have my picture taken. 
Me: Ohhh.   Well I certainly understand that.  I don't want to take you're picture either.  Capture your soul maybe . . . but not take your picture. 
Model: Then we agree.
Me:  Yes we are in complete agreement.

Susie B 100 Poses

Part of a series of images, that I named 100 poses.  Basically the model get this table and 100 frames to pose with it however they want.   It's amazing how similar and how different each one is.

Jewel

It was a rainy overcast day, I locked my keys inside the studio as I was heading to the shoot. needless to say I was an hour late while waiting for a friend to show up with keys. I lost an hour of light which created good things and we missed out on good things. Jewel was sweet and a wonderful model to work with. Thanks to Elsa Brodmann and Jasmine for styling and makeup.

The Two Swimmers

A rare treat this weekend with Bella Blue and Nettie Harris together. Yay! These two beautiful and incredibly talented models were so much fun to work with and they put up with my crazy ideas and concepts.

Kaitlyn

Today I started out slow with a new model who had never posed nude before. She had actually only done two shoots in her life. She was extremely nervous as we started out. I did my best to calm her nerves, but it was evident in the first set that she was extremely tense and uncomfortable. She told me that she ran around her apartment naked to help her get used to being nude. We both chuckled at that. I finished the first set and I stopped and downloaded the card so that she could see the images. Most were awkward at best but we found one that she really liked. I told her that at this point everything else is lagniappe, and usually the first set is a throw away anyway because we are getting used to each other. I took a minute to show her poses from Victoria's Secret and from my previous shoots with great models. She started to understand.

Set number two and I could feel that she was finally beginning to trust me. "Point your toes, chin down, close your eyes and relax you face, stand on your tippy toes." All pointers that I gave her and she took direction extremely well. Once she learned a concept she didn't forget it. I showed her a couple of in camera images. Great work, I encouraged, nudging her self esteem. I wouldn't say that we had a breakthrough but she was now pretty relaxed in front of camera. Again back to the computer so she could see the work. "Wow I didn't realize that I could take that kind of picture" she beamed.

Set 3 I had 27 mins left before she had to leave. I pull all the props away and just shoot her plain on the wall. "Keep moving every frame." I am snapping away and she is really working her look. We agree to meet again to continue to work.

End of the day. I am going through the images and many of them are good, a couple of them are excellent images. A wonderful day with a sweet person and a really good new model with tons of potential.


Enjoy the images.

Unfortunately my shoot this morning got called off. 4:30 am text. My model got sick and had to cancel. I was hoping to get some images for an editorial feature coming up. I did have a great fashion/cover shoot on Saturday.
