Fashion and Beauty shoots with Monique

While going through the images I've made with different models, I compiled this small retrospective of my shoots with one redhead, Monique Kathleen.
I'm finding it interesting recalling the work and great times we had creating the diverse range and variety we can see here. Although some were planned, the ones that are most satisfying turn out to be the ones born of opportunities that the gods threw at me. Because I see changes to plans as just that, opportunities.

One that springs to mind is a denim story we were in the middle of, and I saw behind my back a fast approaching storm. So do we race to change outfit, or race to another location close by to be ready for those raging clouds. I'm pleased with my choice to stay with what Monique was wearing, because as it turned out, there was no way to get back to the car, change, then get back.
 
Part of that denim story can be seen above, along with my fav storm shot at the top of this compilation. At times I think we might have made it to the car and changed into a gown, but I know that would not have happened.
Remember that old saying.."Man plans, God laughs "  But in this case, I was tempted, but I made the right decision and we were rewarded with some powerfull images.
All in all an awesome afternoon's work, and it was a long drive back, because I couldn't wait to get amongst my images.   Some of these images can be seen in older blogs, take a look.

                                                     Another great day at the Office.
   

Alexis looking strong an' sexy

When I recently shot Lex, her great head of hair seduced me yet again. Apart from Alexis's great face, she can deliver that intoxicating edgy and sexy look that shows what comes from shooting regularly with a photographer that is willing to push for more than a pretty face.

In between planned garment changes, Chloe tries on this classic Enough gown by Nicole Bennett, and of coarse she looks radiant in it

Actor's, Musicians and Model's headshots are allways a challenge.

As a professional's portraits are often the first thing people see on line, they need to make an emotional connection first up, well before the resume or blurb is read. These were shot for Alexis's music Cd cover, but will no doubt find their way into her modelling portfolio and websites as well.

Street Fashion that caught Gillian's eye.

Gillian Cooper, recently suggested to this vibrant visitor from Cuba, that she contact me with the view to shooting with me. Here are some of the test shots, a great start to updating and adding a local feel to her modelling portfolio.
