She is a beautiful, professional model that gives some amazing "face!" Her looks change within an instant, yet each one is compelling in their own right. After I "friended" Kirst on a modeling website, she contacted me about a shoot idea she'd been kicking around. That planted the seed, and from there it grew from her in torn jeans and a white shirt to an idea that I started to envision--"Sunday Morning in Bed." I imagined a couple in bed, cuddling, sleeping, reading the paper, drinking coffee and so forth, all the while making the person viewing the pictures wonder about them. Who were they? How long had they been together for? Were they happy? Kirst was completely on board, so next I had to find a male model that also liked the idea.
Meet Justin...
Like Kirst, Justin is a professional model who knows how to change expressions at the drop of a hat. I emailed him and asked if he'd be game for the shoot and thankfully he said "Yes!" Fast forward to today, where we all met in my {potentially permanent} natural light studio with the intent of telling a {made-up} story. With jazz playing in the background, we got down to work. Many hours and cards later I had not only gotten the shots of the "couple," but also a ton of both Kirst and Justin, both on their own and in different outfits. I truly had so much fun working with them and was duly impressed at their professionalism and range of emotions. It's not easy to play the part of someone you're supposed to be "in love" with when you've just met said person a few minutes prior to being placed in front of the camera, yet they did...and they did it damn well.
Oh, and there will be a TON more coming soon so be sure to check back often!
Kirst + Justin, thank you so, so much for coming up to the studio and going along with this vision I had! I hope you're as pleased with the results thus far as I am and I can't wait to show you the rest, and to work with you guys again!
