Angie in the Snow
January 15th, 2010
Angie is really responsible for me continuing to work on snow nudes. Really, it’s all her fault. She sent me a message asking if I didn’t want to do a shoot with her in the snow. Now I always want to do a shoot with Angie any time, any place. And one of the things I love about her is that she is always bugging me to shoot with her. I love it when models do that. And Angie is so beautiful and talented that it’s always a pleasure to work with her. Plus she is a very nice person…always a huge plus in a model.
So, of course, I said I’d be happy to shoot her in the snow and we set a date, which was pretty easy since we’ve been buried in snow for the entire month. I picked a couple of my favorite local locations and we headed out. I did my best to make the suffering on Angie’s part as temporary as possible. I gave her my expedition down parka from my mountain climbing days in the Alps. I got heat packs and even found some that are insoles for her to put in her boots so she would have instant heat when she slipped them on after the shots.
As you can see from the photo above, Angie is a real trooper. But there’s a lot more to this story. I’ll fill you in on the rest of the details over the next few posts.

A lesson learned from shooting models in the snow:
No matter how big a pair of boots you bring along, they can't get their cold wet feet back into them. Heavy wool socks seem to work fairly nicely to warm the tootsies up before attempting to put boots on. Bare, wet, cold feet just won't go into a boot.
Great image, Dave.

Actually Angie did just fine getting in and out of zippered snow boots. Those heated insoles must have given her good motivation.
