Just a snapshot
June 29th, 2010
This is the last photo I’m going to be posting from my first day of shooting with Brooke on the north shore of Lake Superior. I’m calling this one a snapshot because we were taking a quick look at this location and were not planning to shoot, so I didn’t bring my camera backpack with all the normal gear. But when we got out there the light was cooperating, which we hadn’t expected, and I saw this photo. Fortunately I always have my little Canon S90 on my belt, so I just pulled it out and did the shot. I love that little camera.
I think you can see from the number of fine photos we got on that first day just why I think Brooke is the best figure model on the planet. I love working with her. If she lived closer to me I’d be shooting her at least once a week, if she would let me. She is so good for more reasons than just being beautiful. Brooke totally gets what I’m trying to do with my work. She understands what I’m after and what she needs to do to make her lovely figure work for the composition I’m working on. Working with her is a breeze because all I have to do is point out what I’m trying to do with a shot and where she belongs in the composition…then she goes where she needs to be and does what she needs to do. And it works. Add to that the fact that Brooke is one of the nicest people you are ever likely to run into and has an amazing ability to put up with me for days at a time. Yep, she’s the best.
