Black and White Nude

I love working with a team…but I love being one on one with people too.  This young woman has been doing figure modeling on the side for quite some time…other careers have included management and the Peace Corps, and now she’s getting her Masters.  This shoot took place in just under an hour with some chatting.  I’ll show you more in an upcoming entry, but that one will require more writing time.  I love the elegance in her movements!

Music

I think that photographing people “doing their thing” is one of the best ways to capture them.  This works especially well with musicians…I like to let them play for a bit so they get to that intense place where they can forget I’m even there and just play naturally.  The cellist used to babysit for me, btw!  I grew up pretty close to Juilliard and had some pretty awesome musicians live with the family.

nef1Have you ever been photographed “doing your thing?”  If so, how was the experience for you?
