This
session marks the completion, to the day, of twenty years of
photography, a milestone by any measurement. It was completely
spontaneous that L_contacted me early in December, asking if I'd have
time to work with her when she was in town for the holidays. After a bit
of planning, it was decided that we'd have a session with her and her
sister, Fern, on the exact anniversary of receiving my first camera two
decades earlier.

The
session was planned for a couple of hours in the afternoon, so I put up
a white sheet over a large sunlit window, and we worked with the
beautifully diffused light coming through that. In many ways, this was a
mirror of my second session working with L_ and Fern in 2002, which was
also my first figure test of digital cameras (then a Canon D60).

The
vast majority of the images were nude portraits of the two, focusing on
the affection and comfort that exists between the two sisters. I did
make individual portraits of each sister, but with both of them present
in the studio, it seemed a shame to spend time working with them
separately, when they photograph so well together!
For someone who professes to have difficulty with colour pictures, you sure make to most wonderfully soft colour pictures. This one of the two sisters is a case in point.
