I’d nearly forgotten about this shoot until today when I was scanning through drives for something new and interesting to post. This is my favorite kind of shoot. Just getting together with a fun and enthusiastic model to play around and see what we end up with. I wanted to change the orientation of my set 90 degrees so she was being lit directly by the north west facing floor to ceiling windows behind me. Normally my set ends up being side lit from the left. Its a funny and small thing but I especially like how the floorboards run into the set instead of perpendicular. Freyja, AKA StarBit seems to have disappeared from social media. Seems like this happens from time to time. Maybe modeling was a phase, maybe she too like so many of us just became burnt out on feeling the need to constantly create and post snippets from your life and adventures to remain relevant and visible. She was a lot of fun to shoot with. Quiet and seeming a little shy, but also powerful in her confidence and fearlessness. Generous with her expressions and poses. Need to bookmark this feeling so I can chase it once more. I could have sworn we had shot some tintypes, but can’t for the life of me find any. . . As I tend to do, I shot a ton of images on this day. So there will be three or four more sets coming along some day.
