Pictures: Fern Gully Green Boudoir

[hazliya]

When I first looked at this set after shooting, all I could think was, "Damn, does she look like Zoe from Firefly."

First shoot in my Japanese apartment! I'm learning to work with the light in this place and managed to get a really decent setup. Using big ol' white plastic sheets as diffusers over the windows, though, because damn is the sun strong here.

The model is Dominique again, same as the mermaid shoot. She'll be relocating in about a week and really wanted to work with me again, so she booked up a whole day with me and our MUA drove on down again to work her magic. We ended up doing two full shoots, and this is the first of them.

ALSO I GOT TO USE MY TORD BOONTJE NECKLACES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

We tried to make it lived-in and wrinkled, like it wasn't a total set dressing. So we crumpled up the sheets and drapes and tossed the pillows around. The result? Super fun!

And then Elsa decided that she wanted in on the pictures. So she invaded the set and since we were wrapping this one up anyway, we let her stay for a few shots. =)

I love how expressive Dominique is. Seriously, so relaxed in front of a camera. She's using some of the headshots we've taken to make a comp card and look for an agency stateside - I hope that it goes well for her.

As always, favorites and comments hugely appreciated. Including on the ones with the furball.

16 is absolutely adorable.

Each individual shot is really nice, here, but when I look at them all together, she looks a bit bored. Like she's trying to give a come-hither look, but her target isn't responding, so she's trying thing after thing and starting to get frustrated with him or her.

Then Elsa shows up and the bored goes away, but so does most of the intense. ;)

Heh. It's like "you don't want to have sex? Fine. I'm playing with with puppy, now. Lost your chance."

#16! Elsa ftw!

No really, #16 totally is the best. She's very pretty, but in #16 she's much more alive and dynamic, and Elsa's look is perfect.

OMG 16 is so seriously the best! It is cute, espressive, creative and the pose on both of them is perfect!

2 is my favorite of the first set, but I have to agree with everyone about 16. Not only is the shared pose utterly adorable, but the model's expression is great. You really captured a moment there.

Also, the make-up job is really great. The eyes look very professional and difficult to do, and it's extremely flattering on her.
