Vassanta
October 13th, 2007
From warmer days, here’s a shot I did with Vassanta http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=209943 under a bridge in a little town north of Columbus. The light and backgrounds under bridges are often very nice. And, even in busy places, people seldom look under bridges, so it’s possible to shoot nudes, even with busy traffic going overhead.
There’s more to this story, though. If you look closely you will notice some small dark marks on the cement behind Vassanta. We both just thought they were marks on the wall…until Vassanta backed up against the cement and then noticed that those “marks” were actually little caterpillars which were now crawling all through her hair. The resulting screaming was loud and long…and put an end to our shooting in that location, lest someone come to investigate the screams of a woman in distress from under the bridge. There are hazards to doing figure work outdoors…but the bugs were harmless, other than upsetting Vassanta to no end. We were still picking them out of her hair as we drove back to her apartment…each newly discovered bug producing a new round of screams and convulsions.
But despite all that, Vassanta still is willing to work with me again…and we may do some more shooting this coming week. Thanks Vassanta, you are great!
