Sapheria - Shoot2 May 10, 2008






I had shot with Sapheria a week before and in that time i had received a call from a photographer in Los angeles asking about her. He was offering her a well paid opportunity, including all travel expenses to model for his calendar clients and web sites, later in the summer.

So now she realized she may have the potential she had dreamed of and I convinced her to start utilizing a modeling web site to advertise herself, and suggested i help her answer the mail she receives from all over the nation. By the time we met only a week later she had offers to work on small shoots in Vegas, LA, and San Diego.

The results fo the second shoot:

We had planned the shoot a bit better and she demonstrated a growing confidence in working with me and in her own abilities and added much more of her own personality to the shoot. The results speak for themselves,and demonstrates what happens if a shoot is immediately followed by a second where the models confidence and her skill level are much improved.

Stay tuned for more.

Sapheria May 5th, 2008




Sapheria and I have spoken a few times over the last year and a half, about shooting. We did make an arrangement to do a shoot in spring of 2007. Her story is not unusual. She has wanted to be a model all her life and it always seemed to be a far away dream. So we were introduced by a mutual model friend and she contacted me. But last years she was held back from the shoot for many reasons we do not need to get into. Once she released of dropped the reason she was not able to begin she called me again. After a bit of trouble scheduling we finally got to shoot and she got her first chance to experience part of her dream.

We fell in love with shooting with each other, or at least I fell in love with her, and discussed shooting again in the near future.

Wedgewood Hotel with Kierra May 27, 2008




The Wedgewood Hotel, Vancouver is one of my favorite shooting locations. It offers a reasonable sized room with wonderful amenities that provide great backdrops and props for photos shoots.

Kierra and I almost missed each other as my cell phone was not working reliably and went looking for her a few minutes after she was supposed to arrive. I found her waiting patiently or but she had been early and was not able to reach me, so she had sat there waiting for me for about 1/2 hour and was considering leaving. Luckily i got there in time to save a great opportunity to shoot and meet a wonderful women.

Our primary intention for this shoots was to create some content for her web site, which is intended to be up and runnign shortly with paid memberships.

Her web site is at:http://www.kierrakingston.com/

We had a great time as we were immediately very comfortable working with each other and agreed to do it some more. So stay tuned for more of her work with me.

Stanley Hotel - resumed

My next visitor to the Stanley was Liz. She arrived early the next morning so we had time to shoot before we had to check out at 12:00PM.

Liz is a very nice person with a great look and an amazing figure for modeling. It was indeed a pleasure to work with her. I very much enjoyed some of her ideas and specifically loved some of the wardrobe she brought to utilize.
