A Rose Along the Path

I love to find a new model, get here in the studio and find a great shot or pose and watch how she becomes hooked and powerful in the room. How do you find a new model, you look around and see what's hiding in plain sight!! Of all the models I've worked with over the years - the only ones who surprise me - without fail are those who don't hustle it out for a living. That's not to say that the models who work the circuit for a living aren't good. They are some great ones and some awful ones but that's for another time. What I'm talking about is finding a rose along the desert path. Taking the time and risk with someone who's overlooked by the crowd or who removes herself from the crowd because she's "not beautiful."



Look at the new model I found on the blog and see the strength of the pose, the clarity of the work and it's her first session ever! Nothing pre-planned. Nothing stock, nothing standard - all of it an original idea for her and the camera catches the freshness of it even when the pose has been done before. What a great adventure.
