I think you have some awsome shots. How do you find these girls. I wanna do a series of location shoots but I don't have the model power to do it. Do you pay for models or do they work in trade?

 

Any help would be great.

Erol, no, there are no professional models. Everyone crosses paths with some pretty girls at some time or other. I think it's just a question of learning how to seize the moment. And then there is their girlfriends ..... don't JoAnne and Marianne have any?

John, I like this shot :-). Your advice on getting models probably works well where you are, but trying to get Chinese women to pose is like pulling teeth sometimes. I'm about to the point where * I* may break down and hire a model if the "...give me 5 shots to convince you that you are not too plain and not too unattractive for a shoot..." doesn't work. I often use you as an example of someone who shoots women in the most flattering way...IF there is a physical "flaw" in your models it definitely don't come out in your work. Great stuff :-).

Well i'm actually going to shoot JoAnn again but You seem to have a bunch of different women. Is it mostly friends of friends?

Yes, they are all friends, and friends of friends ...... and as you can see, we spend a lot of time laughing together!

 

Hey John, this shot still makes me smile every time I see it :-).
