Saturday Tease: Dani

Yesterday I had a first shoot after a fairly long period of photo-abstinence:-). Originally I cleared my schedule for the Dgrin Shootout and didn't schedule anybody in October. And then of course it took me some time to build it back up. Luckily it wasn't too hard, so I'm back in business at full swing and yesterday was an "opening ceremony" :-)
After reading the famous "Portrait on the train tracks" thread I realized that I have nothing of the the kind in my own portfolio. So naturally I made a few calls, which sparkled decent response and yesterday I got the first installment of this very nouveaux and original project :lol3. Of course it would be a pity to waste the whole day for shooting on the tracks, so we started in my studio first.
Below are few setup shots to give you an idea of what's coming. All are pretty much non-processed (except for automatic raw to jpeg conversion)

#1. This is Dani, 5'9"/135lbs athletic blonde:

#2. She takes her makeup very seriously

#3. And travels with a large posse:

#4. This is a train yard where we got our outdoor shooting done:

More to follow! :deal

    Oooh, this one looks like it's gonna be good. I'm already enjoying the idea of a model ON a train! Incidentally, I noticed a recent ad (Bebe?) in a fashion magazine with a model hanging off a moving train. Sure wish I had that kind of budget for my shoots! I can barely afford to chase the hobos away from the areas I shoot rolleyes1.gif

    We didn't get to shoot the trains this time (only tank and tracks). But I have a lot on interest on for this project, so I plan to extend it to more than one installment - keep your fingers crossed:-) mwink.gif
