Lyz and I decided to get together and take advantage of her red hair/green dress situation and add a fairy theme. Shot in Volunteer Park…more to come!
Waterfall Black and White
Gothic Portrait
Let’s see…here’s an older one of Heather, pre-haircut. Dress courtesy of my mother…it’s the one I coveted growing up 😉
Downtown Ballet
Eric
Meet my first male nude subject ever! I’m not even sure how long ago this was! I’d been shooting mostly women for a few years, and a few clothed males when Eric contacted me. He was experienced in posing nude already, and was a complete gentleman the whole way through. It felt a little strange at first…kind of a throwback to my first male nude in figure drawing when I was still in high school (you want me to draw WHAT?). But, like then, I got over it fast. All too easy and fun now.
Carkeek Park
Loving Seattle and it’s many parks! Carkeek Park is pretty amazing…plenty of trails to get lost in! Going to check out the beach there tomorrow.
Dreamy and Dirty
This was after I had Brittany doing a backbend over a forklift tire…she got a little dirty! I love her expression here, and decided not to edit out the dirt…I think it’s more interesting this way…
Sharon
A portrait of Sharon, back in the day…makeup by the wonderful Talya Taylor.
Ballet in Color
Couple of more ballet shots…I was sitting on a bench in the basketball court area and saw how the Empire State building was peeking out, so decided to use that here.
Fairytale 2
Annnnnnd the rest from the fairytale set with Lyz…getting some more use out of her wedding dress. It’s funny…she got congratulated on her wedding while wearing the black dress, not her actual wedding dress.
In other news, my portfolio website has gotten its desperately needed makeover! You can check it out at http://www.zusevdesigns.net!
