W_'s first Two Sessions

Digital original

W_ had never planned on modeling for me; she'd accompanied K_ on her first session working with me earlier in the day, and by the end of the afternoon, asked me if I'd like to photograph her. When K_ and I finished up in her friend's house, W_ disrobed, and we proceeded to make a series of particularly pleasing portraits against a wonderfully textured wall.

After a break for dinner, W_ and I headed out to a hillside location nearby, to work with the evening light. The sky was layered with soft clouds, and the evening sunlight was softly diffused, providing lovely highlights on W_'s figure as she looked to to the last light of the day.

The last images with W_ were made after sundown; the dying light was wonderfully soft, and I photographed W_ through a sea of high grasses, which created a wonderfully soft screen between us - a lovely romantic image to end an unexpected, but very pleasing session.
