A Favorite Model in a Favorite Place

February 20th, 2019

Starved Rock State Park, not far from Chicago, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the US, if not the world. I love visiting and shooting there. It’s always a bit of a workout. There are steps, sometimes wood, sometimes carved out of the stone, that lead down into the canyons. As they like to say, “140 steps down, 280 up.”

Working at Starved Rock is made even better because I’ve often been able to work with one of my favorite models, and one of the nicest people I know, Areia. This was one of those times.

We had a lot of fun hiking around and looking for new places where we hadn’t already shot. I’ve worked at Starved Rock enough times that finding new spots to shoot is beginning to become a challenge. But I think I’ll keep going back. Things are always changing in places like this.

Even the same spots can produce new photos when you see them with new eyes and your model is talented and beautiful and works to find interesting poses.

Or sometimes it is just a great place for a portrait.

More to come from this shoot.
