Silvai reached out, inviting me to do another portfolio building shoot while conditions remained conducive to a summery, location-based theme.
Silvai is both quirky and enigmatic. Going with the flow and letting her lead seems to reap best rewards, although any shoot requires planning and I need some basic outline beforehand.
Aside from selecting suitable equipment, I can make an informed choice from which to accept or decline a commission. For example, I will not shoot nudes with anyone under 21. Yes, it’s perfectly legal at 18 but while something might be legal, it's not necessarily best. I prefer models to have more life experience and recognise the potential implications, before going this route.
Corsets, Crop Tops and Biker Jackets were her themes and we shot across two locations. She wanted me to emphasise her height. She’s 5’9 (1m 75) which is favourable for general modelling. The Corset shots were taken with me laying on the ground using my Sony 6300 and 35mm lens at F3.2. Biker jacket and crop top using my Sony A7 and 50mm at 1.8.
