NSFW Saerlaith & Claudia

I had a request from a friend to photograph the daughter of a lady with an icecream store.

I was totally taken by the extraordinary comfort and bonding between these two young woman!

Here are just planning sketches done on my iPhone to guide path of post processing from RAW with CC 2021

Very much a lot of trust I'd say. Two pretty models that look naturals.

It's an image that begs the question, the girl bent lower, is she crying? Seems like the other is protecting her. I do like how natural it looks and the woman that we see the face doesn't look like she's posing at all. That's fabulous

Paul and Maggie,

Thanks for you visits!

The amazing thing is that these woman have never modeled before, but are very close friends for years. It would be hard to reproduce with models that set of “human bonding” as too often models are trained to twist legs, give ritualized pelvic thrusts and stares of attitude to fit “Vogue” on one hand or seductive poses in glamor magazines at the other extreme.

I struggle to find natural expression of human feelings to simply record.

I appreciate so much your comments

…. and Will Thompson’s insistence that I upgrade my studio lights to Godox and cease lighting my black bg, LOL!
