A few hours after my shoot with Rudigo , I was scheduled to have my fourth shoot with Helena .

Because we were working at quite the late hour, Helena only brought one outfit for a single set; but what an amazing outfit it was! Her simple black and white corset and a wonderful pair of black and white chequered stockings made for some exquisite and powerful graphic images that I am extremely proud to include in my portfolio!

Since we were shooting just the one set and we didn’t have the issues of wardrobe changes and the like, this was by far one of my most creative shoots to date, with lots of experimentation from both Helena and myself. Though it has hardly been a month since the last time Helena and I worked together, her advancement as a model was clearer than ever. Infinitely more comfortable in front of the camera, it was also very obvious she had been putting a lot of thought into her posing, resulting in a very natural set of images!

Needless to say, I hope to work with Helena again in the future to both continue making great photographs with her and to watch her progress as model!

The other week, I had the immense pleasure of working with a model, with whom I’ve worked with twice before. Helena was one of the first models I worked with back in 2007 and and I was eager to see how she developed as model in that time.

It turns out, that she has developed quite well. She no longer needed very much direction and she was bursting with confidence. Needless to say it was a tremendous pleasure working with her again!

She turned up with an amazing wardrobe selection, with a burlesque theme in mind, including a beautiful corset. She also brought along a giant teddy bear!!

It was altogether a fantastic shoot and the both of us together got some fantastic images!
