Working with someone new..
There’s something about shooting someone for the first time that allows you so much more freedom than you’ll ever have with them again. Having no preconceived notions of what this person is like, excuses you from not capturing who they are in the image. Instead, the model becomes nothing more than an objectification of beauty, sensuality, erotica, or whatever else it is you decide to capture during the shoot. I’m disconnected, but inspired.. The negatives; they often don’t share the excitement of producing an image that doesn’t feel like them. And, worse, the first time I shoot someone, I’m exploring who they are and where we can go with the images. The shoots thereafter are much more productive. I need to work on that.
