Meet Justine. We met at a party for local nude photographers & models last month, and we decided to work together. As far as I know, there never was a similar gathering down in the Bay Area in California, despite there being more photographers & models in that area; it was great meeting folks, sharing leads for models, looking at everyone's portfolio, etc. I highly recommend going to the effort & pulling together parties/meetings/clubs like this. As usual, for first sittings, I don't try anything too extreme or exotic. Perhaps I shouldn't be so cautious for the first sitting, but I really find that I really don't know what a model looks like until I photograph them, even despite seeing photos of them beforehand, and I like to get to know models before trying the more unusual type of photography. Also, while it's okay (with permission) to push gently on people's comfort boundaries, I don't like to make models uncomfortable. An uncomfortable model is a waste of time -- if a model is uncomfortable, it shows in her body language and on her face. Anyway, I planned on a couple of different, basic lighting set-ups, and we start with this one. When we talked on the phone to confirm our sitting time, Justine asked if she should bring anything. I said no, but I asked her if I could photograph her removing the clothes she wears to the sitting. She agreed. |

I love the
current fashion of low riding pants, revealing a bit
of skin around the lower waist & hips. In a
moment, her nice clothing was dropped onto the floor.

Justine has a lithe &
youthful body with smooth, clear skin. I also
find Justine to be intriguing: she's full of
contradictions -- she's a vegetarian who smokes; she's
a responsible, reliable wild child. Despite her
youth, I find Justine to be wise beyond her years,
with a confidence that comes from
self-reliance. At the party, she was
generous with her attention. And I can't mention
enough how much fun she was.
See more of Justine at her next page: Initial Setting Continued. | As I mentioned, I
met Justine at a party for local area nude
photographers & models. I didn't catch
everybody's contact information, but some of the
people who were there included...
And more -- look for more new models soon. |
