Just settling down for a latte and the chance to write a bit here. I mentioned in a recent post that I hadn't had a photo shoot for a couple of weeks. In fact, I hadn't had a "good" shoot for something like six weeks. That's all changed today, after having a shoot yesterday The shot above here is from yesterday's set (pretty much an "as shot" picture). On top of having some great shots, I had that special dividend of encountering a really special person along the path of getting the work accomplished.
Just like most any shoot I do, I was busy for several days before the shoot shopping for shoes, dresses, and props as ideas were coming to me specifically aligned to this model (Grace). I have to admit I was a less enthusiastic than most of the time leading up the shoot, as a recent couple experiences with cancelations had really let the wind out of my sails. But I'm really pleased with a lot of the images, and especially, with seeing the realization of some things I had been thinking about for some time. It's a great feeling to start of with this seed of an idea, and slowly piece together the implementation details, then finally find the right model who's going to pair up well with the concept. So I'm feeling pretty good about this endeavor once again.
One of the really cool things that happened in leading up to this shoot was related to pulling off an idea, and like I've said before, encountering some wonderful people along the path.
