We started off the shoot using a fabric that I had purchased for another shoot but for one reason or another, I never used it.  So I figured it would be perfect for Breezy.  She looked great with it and I especially loved the way the light caught the fabric.  It’s certainly and idea I’ll revisit again.  The main thing I wanted to capture were nudes with the open expanse of the location behind her.  Lots of open space and sky in the background.  Keeping the shots very simple and sparse.   I felt that it worked out a very well.  and she was quite beautiful in the morning light.

When we were getting ready to shoot at a beach area, several people walked over towards the beach so we waited to see if they would move on.  They never did, so we decided to find other places to shoot.  We ended our shoot in the water in strecth of mangrove trees that worked out quite nicely.

Overall, the shoot went very smoothly.  Breezy looked gorgeous and felt beautiful and I was just happy to be capturing such beauty.

Breezy - Jan. 25, 2009

The first image was taken just outside of my office a few days before a major storm hit Oahu. the second image was taken 2 days after that storm hit. It was a pretty bad storm which is why the second image has such significance for me. The weather was quite bad and it forced me to cancel two shoots that I had been looking forward to for weeks. One of those shoots was a once in a lifetime shoot. I was feeling quite down and as I was driving to work this is what I saw out of my car window. After I took the shot, I didn’t feel so bad anymore.
