My friends are awesome.
I don't know if, somewhere in my subconscious, I pick them that way on purpose or what, but it is what it is.
Today's case in point: Lady M.
For the sake of not having her name come up in a Google search, Lady M has asked that I not use it. I'm happy to oblige requests like that, especially when a shoot ends up running off on a tangent and ends like this one did: on top of the ex-husband's pool table. :)
The original idea was inspired by a photo I saw of Kristen Stewart and... well, Kristen Stewart. I knew I could pull if off, and I knew Lady M was just the chameleon I needed. I shot her off a text, and before you could say 'double-take', she responded with an emphatic "SURE!"
On May 26, 2012, look what happened:
Yup.
After taking a few dozen different poses in each outfit, I was pretty sure I had what I wanted. There we were, in the basement, pool table handy and lighting all rigged up, so when she asked if we could do a little something for her other half, who so kindly loaned us his suit and tie for the shoot, I thought, 'sure, why not?'
Never ever hesitate to bring up your own ideas in a photoshoot, because sometimes, THIS happens:
I love it.
Two great shoots with a beautiful model in one fell swoop. As you can imagine, her guy was thrilled, and the ex-husband that owns the pool table? Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt. ;)
