When this series was taken I was working on a high speed, high performance method of taking portraits of college students. The concept was to be able to move quickly between students, but with a means to customize the pose and adapt it rapidly. We wanted indoor and outdoor methods. This model was patient, understanding, professional, and a huge help for a new photographer. I will always be grateful for those who helped so much!

I had to post this one of our beautiful 70’s model. The smile, the whimsy, the little black dress. Perfect!

After a long, hot day in the West Virginia sun we were done. Literally and figuratively. She kept giving me look after look when she relaxed. I couldn’t stop shooting. A good session is like a dream you never want to end. Pentax Spotmatic F, Pentax 85mm SMC Takumar. Kodak Royal 200.

Mesmerizing.
Her green eyes, the red hair, the intense thoughts behind the beauty.

A girl and her dog!

Border collies are spooky smart. Couple that with a sharp model and it's instant magic. Our green-eyed red-haired model goes perfectly with this furry friend.
