This is one of my favourite pictures from my one and only time in a studio. I’ve used it for PhotoFriday once before, although this time — for the theme “Sexy” — I have done a new crop and some other adjustments.
Please also vote for my entry in last weeks challenge, “Sunshine.” I’m number 245.
Like most people, most of my photography tends to happen when I travel. I do like to branch out from time to time though, this time into portrait photography. This picture is from my first (and currently only) experience in a studio and is of a model called Lena. She was professional, fun and very keen on motor racing.
This is a cropped version of the original. I usually use the full-size, black and white version which is not suitable for work.
My first shoot with a “real” model, albeit, at the time at least, an aspiring one. Sophia was personable, professional and had a keen sense of what would work and what wouldn’t, so it’s no wonder that she went professional only a few months after this shoot.
The story behind this is that I found this classified ad on the Internet and on a whim decided to reply:
This is a bit weird, but my boyfriends’ 21st is in 3 weeks and Ive bought a nurse outfit to surprise him in…we thought it might also be a good idea if I could get some pics taken and put something together for good old memories’ sake…. No porn, just sexy, FHM kind of pics….
As the only person to show evidence that I could take photographs I got the “gig.”
