Erika

Here is another of the photographs I made of Erika at a Glamour101

Workshop.

 

A few people have asked me how I got this level of intimacy in a

workshop situation. I thought I would explain. These workshops, for

anyone who has never attended one, are group shooting sessions. They

are workshops in that all of the photographers use this as an

opportunity to learn and add to their portfolios. I, for instance, have only

been photographing nudes since I attended my first of these workshops

last November.

 

Erika was a last minute addition to a workshop where several models

had to cancel at the last minute. When she arrived most of the

photographers were working with other models. I was between areas

and took her to this sofa in direct sunlight. I went through a roll of film

before others joined us. When the photographers cooperate and call out

to the model you can generally get what you want, even when there are

several shooting the same one. Especially the regulars wait patiently

and can get quite a lot out of the subjects.

I have seen a similar photograph of this model from you before. I will say again what I say then. It would be very difficult to take a bad picture of her. She has an absolute charm when looking at the camera. Please don't think I am taking anything away from you.

I agree, she has a connection to the camera that is intimate and revealing. She is a lovely model and you captured her sensual mood perfectly!
