Last weekend I got the chance to do a quick test shoot with an actual model (!!!) Getting to work with Karla was amazing, as she was so skilled in modeling and looked great in everything. Here are my favorite shots from our studio session.

These are the types of photos I love to take. Commerical/editorial fashion and portraiture... eeeep my heart is singing. Can't wait for more! :)

I love light and movement, shape and textures. For me it's more than showing off clothes. I want the personality and emotions of the model to come through. And the more I experiment, the more I come back to simple and sleek forms, clean lines, and beautiful natural expressions.
