Photography: The pictures are just a bonus.

Friends in bikinisLike I mentioned in my previous post, the heat these past several days have been crazy! When I’m not trying to cool down at the beach, I’m here at home working on photos. This weather reminds me of Amy and Steph, when I photographed them a couple of years back.

It was late one summer afternoon and we all headed to the beach for the shoot. Although I took a reflector, one outdoor strobe and other photo equipment, the shoot turned out to be simply a fun time at the beach with friends and me photographing them. Amy was the main “model” who I was planning to photograph, but Steph who tagged along turned out to be the surprise bonus of the evening. She had the typical college girl beach body and was enjoying the entire experience.

The interesting part is the blue bikini she is wearing, which belonged to Amy. But Steph begged to let her wear it. Glad Amy agreed, Steph looked much better in that outfit.

Sometimes its more than just the pictures, but the experience the models/photographers have during the event that makes it all worth while. The end result, the pictures, are just a bonus.


Strange heat wave...

We have been having a strange heat wave these last several days, very strange for January! A bit windy, very warm wind, but the skies are clear, reminds me of summer! I was hoping to do a photo shoot this week, but I’ll be too busy, sucks because I wanted to take advantage of the weather, perhaps to a beach shoot?

Here is one I took not too long ago, not the best, but this petite hottie was a fun person to shoot.


Bootie shorts on a bootieful girl!

Here is Steph again showing off her bootie shorts. When she first agreed to shoot with me, I wasn’t sure what I was going to have her wear. She’s not a model and was doing this for fun and to get a few pictures. She looked at my portfolio and really liked the pictures. This image on the left wearing the short boy shorts was her idea. The week prior, she had obtained them from a club she visited and wanted to “model” them.

Steph has the perfect curvy figure to model this outfit. The only thing that might have been a distraction was the ankle bracelet.

Steph had brought a friend to the shoot, so we decided to make it fun. Here is an early picture from the set. As you can see, this was a very impromptu event. Each did their own makeup and the setup was very “at the last minute”. When I work with amateurs, knowing how to create a quick setup and/or find a location is crucial. After all they normally are a little nervous to begin with and if a new model, in this case two of them, call and let you know they are up for a shoot, but can only do it “tomorrow”, its time to get it in gear!

I must admit, this was one of the hottest shoots I ever did!
