Model: Sofia Cavelius

So I had the opportunity to work with this young model who is still trying to break into the modeling industry and I think she has what it takes.  She has a sort of charisma that shines when she's behind the camera.  Initially she was very shy and a bit quiet.  However, this could have been due to the language barrier in that she is German and my German language skills are sub par to say the most.  Anyway I didn't have to say much once she got in front of the camera.  I put her into her initial pose and let her work her way around the work space. She moved subtly and graciously with each flash of the camera generating new pose although slightly different than the last but presenting a whole new vision for the camera to capture.  It was a pleasure to work with Sofia and it shows in the finished product.

B. Adore spring ads

These photos are from the B. Adore spring ad campaign.  My original idea for the shoot was to shoot entirely on location but because the weather was so cold in Germany at the time I didn't have the heart to keep the models outside in negative degree weather all day.  So I moved the shoot into the studio where the girls were kept warm and comfortable.  The shots you see here were the last shots of the day and the only shots we took outside.  I had this idea in my head for a long time and I just had to get a few shots.  To my surprise I got exactly what I was looking for in only 15 shots!  All the models were fairly new and had struggled getting the facial expression and attitude for the shoot but i think the cold weather help them get the look immediately.  

Love is Adorable

Happy Valentine's Day!!! and so I thought this was a great time to show one of my first attempts at fashion photography because I think it fits the occasion.  To say a little about the photo, I had this idea in my head for a long long time but couldn't find the right model to portray the picture that I had envisioned until I met this beautiful young model Sophia Cavelius from Germany!  I can't explain the excitement that ran over me as she agreed to do the shoot!  I think it came out well but tell me what you think?
