A good way to get over the hump day.  A little tease in a little red dress.

This was a fun day, as the model I was working with mostly at the time brought in her friend for a photo shoot, as well as some glamour shots of them together.

@mrsoul, I am the photographer for these photos.  My profile is showing all the models I have worked with so far.  Not many are comfortable with nudity, but the shots are some of my favorites.

@mlbphotographer I'm sorry I was confused. You are an excellent photographer!

Although I enjoy taking general lifestyle shots, because there are so many outfits out there that are beautiful, cute, or interesting, but I am looking to shoot the ideas I have come up with, that I would like to see if I can take a shot so good, that it needs to be in print, even if it is just on my own wall.  I wrote down quite a few of my ideas to talk over with the models that show an interest in shooting with me more often, and will see what I can put together.

I have been trying to post a picture a day on Mondays to Fridays here to show everyone what I have done to practice being a photographer.  I realize I don't have too many pictures teasing with nudity or implied, but I currently only have two models that are comfortable being nude, or almost nude, and a third that doesn't mind sexy outfits.  I keep my eyes out for new models, but haven't found too many women that are just that comfortable.

Although this shot was a happy accident, I actually have been thinking about doing a whole bunch of shoots that only use one flash instead of the two I normally use.  I want to play with the shadows, do silhouettes, and generally see what effect I can get with placing the flash differently than the normal.  Some ideas revolve around the nude woman form, and using the light, or lack of, to bring a very artistic look to the shot.

Time to focus more on the shoots that focus on one or two shots that are the ideas in my head for prints that I would want to hang on my wall.  I know now that my ideas won't get a lot of different models to want to shoot with me, but I want to shoot for myself, and the ideas that roll around in my head on a daily basis.

Such a tease @cattleya can be.  Working on a couple halloween shoots with her this upcoming weekend, and will be discussing future shoots as well.  I have so many ideas, and unless I get more models messaging me for shoots, my ideas will revolve around the models that have shown a desire to shoot more than just once.

Hidden locations, like this one, are so wonderful to shoot.  They bring something not normally seen in your everyday shots, and give you so many opportunities to shoot something different.  I was lucky the model knew of this location when I asked if she knew where a road had overhanging autumn trees.
