It only made sense to bring a beautiful girl to a beautiful park.

Or rather, to keep bringing beautiful girls to a beautiful park.

I think I went to that place three times in a week, each with a different person.

Naturally, Katie fit right in. It's one of the reasons I enjoy photographing her so, her ease in front of the camera, her willingness to be a bit uncomfortable for the sake of a good shot.

But even Katie has a limit, and I can usually tell it, not because she says anything, but because her demeanor shifts subtly, a bit of stiffness creeps in. She's too nice to just blurt out "I'm freezing!!!! Don't let me die out here!!! Let me put a scarf on!!!" So she sends out gentle waves of unease that let me know it's time to move on.

Which we do. But first, one. more. shot!!!!

This particular photo, I didn't even know how perfect her profile was until seeing this shot. It's...it's kind of unsettling how hot she is here.

To balance things out, a shot of Katie experiencing a mild case of Model Madness, up on the blog: blog.louobedlam.com/post/73757053/in-the-middle-of-this-h...

Advantage of working with another photographer: you end up getting pushed into taking better photos.

Laura and I had both been shooting Katie for a good few minutes, when Laura had herself a brainwave, positioned Katie just right and started shooting away. We both knew these were gonna be some awesome shots, you can just tell, knowing how good Laura is, knowing how the poses are gonna look because we know how she shoots, how Katie looks under certain circumstances.

Sometimes you can just see the pictures ahead of time.

And they were gonna be oh so nice.

Damn her!

I was well into a calm groove that day, nothing special, just enjoying the park, all the various places we could shoot there, the great grey weather.

But after that, I started looking around, just a wee bit frantically, looking for inspiration.
Because now I had to come away with something special.

And that is a great place to be, with my mind actually working on the "problem".

This shot...oh man, it's early, so forgive me, this shot was my Solution.

I crack myself up.

Another advantage of working with another photographer (as well as Laura At Work) up on the blog: blog.louobedlam.com/post/75870987/another-advantage-of-sh...

There's just so much to interact with at this spot. Forest for miles, bamboo caves, strange hills that remind one of the shire, all grist for the idea mill.
That's the fun with shooting "on location", being able to use the environment to help you come up with shots.
Here's Katie as Explorer.
