Kira
& I tried to get together over the
summer, but our schedules never
aligned. Once the school year
starts, Kira gets exceedingly busy,
but when she had a free afternoon
available, she suggested that we get
together for a quick sitting.
Afterwards, she had evening plans
downtown (that is, nearby). It
worked out for all of us.
|
|
| For much
of this sitting, Kira was in charge. She especially enjoyed the
pictures she & I made in my shower, and she was eager to make
some more, especially since her figure was exceedingly fit right
now.

Of
course, starting in the shower
is exactly backwards: I
always use the shower as the
last setup for a
sitting. After the
shower, the model's hair is
often messed up and her makeup
is gone.
Kira's
plan was to use the shower to
get cleaned up, then do her
hair, then apply some makeup
for the evening, and finish
the sitting with some semi-glamorous
poses.
Kira's
in charge -- who am I to
argue?
|
| It's
pretty obvious that Kira has been working out. I've never seen
her in better shape. In fact, I've never seen anyone in better
shape.

This
is a steam room, and it's
fairly big by shower standards
-- maybe 6.5 feet by 4.5
feet. Although big for a
shower, it's small for a
studio. In fact, I can't
bring the film camera in here;
there just isn't enough room
to maneuver. My digital
camera, however, is tiny, can
use its pivoting &
swinging LCD screen to compose
images, and has a very wide
angle setting. That
makes it ideal for the
shower. I don't have to
stand behind it, and I can
explore all sorts of angles.
Here,
the camera is set at its
widest angle setting, and I'm
holding it at Kira's chest
level. I like the
perspective of this image and
the two above.
I
can also hold the camera
low. For a moment, Kira
gets down on the floor, and I
move the camera down there
with her.
|
| We jump
up and try some baby oil, but Kira's skin soaks it up. Just the
same, I like this perspective & Kira is easy on the eyes. We
keep trying. |
|
|
|
We
keep applying baby oil, and
Kira's skin takes up a
wonderful sheen. This
isn't the ideal lighting for
baby oil lovelies, but the
confines of the shower are
tight, and I don't really have
too many options.
Besides,
it's a dirty job, but
somebody's got to do it.
|
| I often
note that I don't photograph backs often enough, and there are few
things more sexy than the small of a woman's back. Kira, in
particular, has a great back & some fine dimples.
Of course, model's
backs & baby oil presents some logistical challenges.
Fortunately, Kira & I have gotten to know each other, and we
manage somehow.

We
conclude our time in the shower, and
an unusual hour follows. I pull
the studio equipment out of the
bathroom, and Kira takes a leisurely
shower & washes her hair. I
have time to go upstairs & upload
the images we made -- as a special
surprise, I make a couple quick 4x6
prints for Kira. I have time to
go downstairs & chat with Kira as
she carefully applies her makeup for
the rest of our sitting & her
evening out. As she puts on her
final touches, I set up the next
studio setting -- I figured we could
do some fine art figure studies to
celebrate her marvelous figure.
This
sitting continues with Fit
Kira.
