Time is precious, people. Don’t waste it. Have a beautiful day.
Swingtime!
Ok, not the music, but there was a swing involved! It was my 15th anniversary yesterday, and my husband and I decided to celebrate with our second shoot with Mari, in a pretty fantastic studio space (Locket Space is SoDo Seattle). Beautiful big windows, great light, and nifty set options, including this swing.
Mari, of course, is a joy to shoot. Even watching her warm up is impressive! I glanced over, and there she was on her back, kicking her legs all the way to the floor behind her shoulder. Plenty more to come!

Window Lit Nude
I get on these half saturated kicks sometimes…I like a little hint of color instead of just going black and white.
This one is gorgeous in print…I use luxurious metallic finish paper, which adds a little shimmer to the image! Order yours here: Print Shop
Sensual Crimson
Black and White Ballet
I always take a break, then go back through a shoot to see what I missed the first time around…revisiting Brittany!
In other news, I’ve just started a new series of personal work I’m hoping I”m brave enough to share with you soonish…
Brittany in Central Park Part 2
This shoot was very mellow and relaxed…just wandering the park looking for interesting backgrounds, done in about and hour and a half. When Brittany showed me this peach outfit, I was excited to shoot her against grays and greens. Interesting how some of these don’t look like they were taken in NYC…little more of a fairy tale vibe. When we got the bridge, we encountered some tourists with two little girls. They were quite mesmerized with meeting a real ballerina! Brittany was so sweet to them and they all got on their toes while the parents snapped a picture.
I do have a few prints from this shoot (and many others) available here: www.elizabethzusev.etsy.com and more will be added shortly!
Color Nude – Io
What to do when you find yourself on autopilot, turning everything black and white? Switch it up! This is Io, a wonderful alt model I’d been wanting to work with for quite some time, then finally ended up living in the same state!
Black and White Nude – Shower
It’s a gray and rainy day here, so this one seems appropriate…
