Sofia looks very Latina (and from her roots she is), but when you hear her talking she's US-American as UIS-American can be. It's a long time that I heard this - for my ears - nice and fun accent and way of talking. It's not everyday that a US-American nude model strays for Spain and I am happy that she did - and I am very happy that she found me!
Well, I am sorry I can't give you sound with my images, on the other hand I am quite sure that there is much more that will interest you in Sofia. She's a very happy young woman, traveling around as a model and truly enjoying showing her beautiful face and body.
It may be an advantage or a disadvantage when a model reaches a certain level of professionalism. The advantages are obvious: she knows what photographers want to see, she knows how beautiful her feminine body is and she knows how to emphasize her charms.
In my eyes, those advantages are at the same the disadvantages: after many sessions poses lose their "natural innocence" that I love so much in inexperienced models, face expressions are more set up than just occurring. It is true that Sofia has some very hot and arousing face expressions, but then again in my eyes she's most beautiful when she is just as she is without thinking about "modeling".
Sofia contacted me a while ago via the "model mayhem" website where I have an abandoned profile (it's abandoned because of the censorship that doesn't allow me to show what I want to show in my profile). She was coming to Málaga at that time, but unfortunately, as I could see in her profile and she confirmed, she was completely shaven and so I didn't accept her application. But a few days ago she sent me a whatsapp message with a detail photo of her bush that has grown meanwhile and the proposal to meet for a session last Thursday.
Usually I like to meet a model first in person before I decide if I want to photograph her or not. I also like to take some simple test photos, usually some clicks with my mobile phone (that will never be published because I don't own the rights, but also because they are really just clicks to see the details of the face and body and how a model moves and shows herself). Also this personal meeting allows me to inform the model in detail about the kind of photos I want to shoot, show her samples and find out, if she is prepared to show herself that openly and unashamed as I want it.
But that was not possible in this case because she was here for only a very short time, working with other photographers about an hour of distance outside of Málaga. So we had some conversation on whatsapp where I send her samples and she sent me others. Finally we agreed to the session.
Thursday morning I had to get up early and we had only a few hours to get to know us in person. Actually we started the session half an hour after we met for the first time. Personally Sofia is a very lovely and fun person, very nice to chat with her and as during the session I was talking all the time, trying to get her as natural and un-posed as possible, I think in about half of the images I achieved to capture her natural, happy beauty and sensuality. I guess, you'll see the always alternating differences between posed and natural in the 90 images of this series...
Now Sofia is on her way back to the United States, but I hope she'll be back to Europe quite soon - keeping growing her bush :-) - for more sessions. Still, there are many more photos in another settings from this session that you will see in other series in another moment...
