My trip to Moab started in Phoenix AZ, where I spent most of the Friday October 3d with this young lady.

1. Meet Shannon

2. She has gorgeous body

3. And she's not afraid to show it, be it direct sunlight

4. Or a pure silhouette

5. She looks great dressy

6. And even better casual

7. She looks good from the outside

8. And from the inside

9. She looks hot in cool blue

10. And totally cool in hot pink

11. Backlit with the setting sun

C&C welcome!
Many thanks to Iso (Aaron) for pointing out these very cool shooting locations!

    Nik -
    I really like #11.

    Much better than my SmugShot of her!

    Great shots Nikolai, if I had to pic one it would be number 7, beautiful pose, and her eyes are amazing.

    thanks for sharing.

    I do not suffer insanity... I enjoy it!!!

    I don't feel like this set is your best work.
    She's definitely got a great body, but (for instance) photos #2 & #3 with the clear heels and too short of a dress, it's looking a little.. well.. (brutal honesty here) trashy.
    Looks like you had a fantastic location, and willing model, but I'm not sure this one was pulled off quite up to snuff with a lot of the work you've shown on Dgrin. Perhaps it's that I, myself, have never worked with this sort of client, and not really sure what she was looking for, but from a pure photography, artistry side of things...ne_nau.gif

    Aaron suggested this location (which had this cool fireplace), Shannon was posing and it was her dress/heels, I only snapped the pikkie (well, directed a bit, too:-)

    Thanks Dan! thumb.gif
    In most of it, yeah. This was also the very first time when it gave me the infamous Error 99, which spooked me for a few minutes and made me shoot with my ol' trusted 40D for a couple of looks. But then I decided it's "mind over matter" and forced it to work again.

    Did you get the error with the new firmware 1.0.3?
