When we changed locations from shooting on rocks and tidepools to shooting with trees and the metal pipe, I got some great stuff that really made my heart skip a few beats.  And that’s why I love working with Sera.  She just does things that are so beautiful and I’m not sure if she knows she’s doing them.  But I see it and I just have to shoot it.

Again It was a great shoot and it was a great way to kick off 2009!

I had only done one shoot with a model who had a tattoo before and we tried very hard to work around it. Trying not to photograph it. It ended up being an interesting challenge. What ended up happening was that I mostly shot the model from the side without tattoos. Which led to having most of the shots from the same side.

With Ashleigh I decided that it’s her body and it’s she’s chosen to decorate it this way. It’s real and I find it beautiful. As I drove to the shoot, I had an idea to get a few close up shots of her tattoos. Partially as a way to embrace the tattoos as a part of her being, but also because I thought it might be interesting to see the tattoos in the context of the nude. Now I think I’m onto something with this thought.

Now I’m thinking it might be interesting to do a whole book on just tattooed nudes. it might be interesting to see images like the one above of tattoos and the nude body.
