a private photo session (series of 99 images)

This beautiful slender woman is a neighbor from my district here in  Barcelona. She's not a model, but I know her since a long time and we  became friends with time.

She liked a lot my photos and always  wanted a session - not to become a model, but just for herself. She knew  that I prefer unshaven women and so she let grow her pubic hair before  she finally asked me for a photo session.

So we did a simple  session, mostly on the sofa. The objective was - as in a common session  with a client - to achieve 8, 10, 12... good black-and-white images, and I  think that's what came out.

But for you I show a lot more here.  As you can see, she was very shy and a bit embarrassed in the beginning.  I had never seen her naked before, not even in bikini, and so she  undressed part by part while I put up the studio flashes and took some  test shots to adjust the light.

I am accustomed to work with  women who have never before been naked in front of a stranger. Most of  my female clients never have revealed their secrets and their sensuality  to somebody else than their partners and thus are a bit nervous in the  beginning. I think it is one of my talents to make them feel save and  relaxed, and after a short time I can take the pictures we want.

As  most of the time I began with a simple, soft and balanced light without  strong contrasts, shadows or highlights. This allows changes in poses  without the need to adjust the light again and also allows me to walk  around her and take photos from different positions, so I can find out  which are the angles that reveal her most beautiful sides.

The  sofa is very good for such a session. It allows the model to feel  comfortable and I can advice her for little changes and so the photos  get better and better until I have reached what I wanted.

Later I  completely changed the light to a more dark and romantic light and then  to a light with harder contrasts when I already knew on what I had to  pay attention.

Like so often the best images aroused after the  middle of the session. It is like a curve, the situation gets more  relaxed, I get used to the personal properties of a person, she gets  used to be naked in front of me. Later the model gets tired and "has  enough", and that's when I terminate the session.

All of this takes place during 2 or 3 hours.

Well,  in the end she was very happy with the results. She allowed me to  publish one image on my tumblr, but a few days ago I met her again and  she agreed to sign a model release so that I can show the complete session here  on Patreon.

So thanks to her broad-mindedness I can show you how  a personal session develops and how and what I try to achieve good  results with a person that I see naked for the first time. She even  allowed me to publish the more explicit photos of her, exclusively for  my "Power"-Patrons.

I hope you like what you see.
