This past weekend I had opportunity to work with a reletively new model. I had been coming out of a slow period business wise and had recently got a message from her expressing interest in working together. It was only a short time into photographing this young woman I saw a vast amount of talent. Very relaxed, and flowing in motion, but also spontaneous and lively. After a few hours and around 800+ photos we called it a wrap.
In the time going through and sorting the images I do as I normally would for any new model. I sent a couple follow up messages giving feedback on her work, tips and advice on photography/modeling and a couple of leads for continued work.
This morning I received this message:
And this is why I love what I do. The opportunity to work with someone with talent and enthusiasm is a big part of my art. Meeting new people from all different backgrounds and careers gives a whole new perspective to what I do. And no matter what background people have on set they become an artist. On set things become a fluid dance of movement between model and photographer with breaks of laughter.
For some people is a freee expression of art, for others it's a time for self discovery; but no matter their reasoning from their talent and expression we make art. A snapshot frozen in time of those emotions.
I've gotten the oppotunity to work with a lot of great ladies and guys doing this and every once in a while I find these people, who change the game and inspire me to continue moving onward and upward. So thank you very much to all of you. I appreciate all your talents, skills and words of encouragement.

And for all the readers and other supporters thank you too.
I'll hopefully be back this weekend with a new post on Summer Fashion.
Cheers,

"You are an excellent photographer and you help each model see the beauty, not only skin deep, but the beauty within themselves. You have given me confidence on a whole different level and I appreciate all the hardwork and help you have and will put into me! I honestly could not thank you enough! :)"
