Vlia and Working With New Models
Vlia got a hold of me, because I was recommended by a local Pensacola photographer. I had never met either of them until the day of our shoot.
It can be apples to oranges when you compare working with nude models that are new, to ones that have been doing it a while. The veterans usually comfortable being and getting naked, while a new model is faced with the psychological "jumping off" point. As any of us stand on that metaphorical ledge, we're confronted with a lot of fear that can only be overcome one way, and thats by action. Being trusted to be part of that experience is something I always try to remain conscious of, because, even if I deliver the best photos in the history of the world, how they felt in that moment is what they’ll remember the most.
