Yesterday somebody asked me, who was the hairiest model I ever photographed, and I didn't have to think a long time: of course it's wonderful Kyotocat!
I had the luck to have Kyotocat two times in front of my lenses. The first time she had shortened her huge bush and shaved the legs and other parts of her beautiful body, but when I looked close I saw that there would be much more hair if she would let it grow.
I said to her: if you ever let all your cosy hair grow for a while and come back to Europe and back to my camera, that would be a real dream-come-true!
One day, maybe a year later, she wrote me an email: hey, I'm close to Barcelona. And of course I made a day free to meet her. We drove to that beautiful nature park where I've already been once with Eva Lunia, we walked a bit, and found a place I thought it would be nice to start with the session.
Kyotocat undressed and I prepared the camera. And then I saw her - a dream had come true!
It was a wonderful session. Kyotocat on one hand is a very professional model who knows what a photographer wants to see. She doesn't need any guiding in taking poses and moves in front of the camera as if she'd never had done something else. If you ask her to move a little bit like that or change a little bit like this, she understands immediately.
On the other hand, despite of being really professional, she is absolutely natural, without the slightest attitude of arrogance, patient and cooperative.
It doesn't happen often that a model that's having success keeps it's naturalness without falling in stereotype poses and attitudes. Kyotocat is one of those rare exceptions.
So no wonder that many beautiful images came out from that session. ome of them I edited earlier and you might find them in my tumblr, but yesterday I made a completely new selection and added lots of never published photos from that session. I edited them all new, a bit brighter than the first edits, and all in color.
Here's the first part. More is in the pipeline and will be here for you soon.
Enjoy pure nature!
