Sitting date:  October 7, 2007

 

Both Ashley & I are members of Model Mayhem -- this site is part modeling site and part social network.  Both Ashley & I often participate in the forums that can be found there.  One forum thread discussed girl-girl images, and I contributed one of the better "PG" rated images from my sitting with Nicole & Justine.  Ashley posted a reply to the forum thread -- "I want to do a girl-girl shoot".  So, we discussed the idea privately.

Before we get rolling, let me just say that girl-girl, erotic, or semi-erotic sittings are very difficult for me:
  • All of us (the models, me, everyone's significant others, etc.) have to be very comfortable with each other.  So I greatly prefer working with models that I've worked with before.
  • It is an order of magnitude more difficult to devise a lighting setup that is interesting and that works with two models facing one another.
  • When the models face each other, at best, you can see only half of their faces.  It's actually more limiting -- with a single model, you can walk all around them without upstaging another model.
  • Both models get paid, making two model sitting roughly twice as expensive as a solo model sitting.
  • Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the intimate nature of this kind of activities is supposed to be private.  It's difficult for me to overcome the feeling that I'm intruding.
  • While popular, the subject matter is often done & often done badly.  It is a challenge to do these things with real heat & artistic aesthetics.

 

 

(Ashley wastes no time removing Krisha's clothing).

At this time, I didn't know any local models willing to do a semi-erotic sitting, especially with another model (Ashley) that they don't know.  So, I challenged Ashley to find a posing partner.  She actually found another model, but that model got cold feet at the last minute, so a day before the scheduled sitting, Ashley found Krisha.  

I believe that this sitting was one of Krisha's very first sittings, but since this sitting, she's become pretty popular locally, and she & Ashley have posed together a few time since this time.  They have a little cottage industry going.

At first, I have to give specific direction & encouragement, but it doesn't take long before Ashley & Krisha to warm up to each other.  Krisha has a fine figure & is happy to be touched anywhere by Ashley.  Ashley is a little more aggressive & is happy to take the lead.

 

Krisha's clothing continues to be removed; Ashley's hands continue to be familiar with Krisha's body.
Both models have tattoos, and I certainly hate tattoos:
  • In fine art photography, they are a distraction.
  • I feel like I'm copying someone else's art.
  • Krisha's tattoos are Chinese characters.  While they may have meaning to Krisha, I'm not willing to include crib notes here.

I could go on, but I won't.  Suffice to say that it is just too much work to try to remove all those tattoos from these images, so I won't try.  But to me, those marks detract from the images. 

I won't talk about those tattoos any more.  Try to ignore them.

Almost a lost picture:  with the camera angle & the long hair of both models, you can hardly "see" anything.  But just for fun, I apply the "paint brush" artistic effect of my photo editing software, and I really like the result (see below).

I have to admit -- it was totally my idea that we work on discarding all of Krisha's clothing before we tackle Ashley's clothes.  No one objected.  This sitting started with some giggles, but now it's all caresses.

With a little encouragement, Krisha's hands get bolder.  They never stop kissing.

In a husky voice, Krisha asks if we could remove some of Ashley's clothing now.  Without waiting for an answer, Ashley quickly discards her blouse.  Everyone's hands keep busy.  There is that unique sound of hands sliding on skin.

I like including the shadow in this off-center composition, but most of all, I like how both Ashley & Krisha have their eyes closed. 

 

The two continue to work hard, getting Ashley's clothes off.  They hardly stop kissing.  Hands keep busy.

Whew!  The hard part's over:  we've got two beautiful models who are comfortable with each other, we've got them out of their clothes, and the temperature is definitely rising.  It's time to move them around a bit, to move the camera around a bit, and to see what can been seen.

This sitting continues with Skin On Skin
