DIA Posers

Models posing for the camera on the steps of the DIA last week. I think their trying a bit too hard to get the right pose.

Julie Maurer Head Shot

I had the great fortune of photographing this actress (Julie Maurer) today just hours after she got off stage at the Second City in Novi Michigan. Julie was in need of a new headshot for her acting resume. These were my favorites from the shoot.

First we have the standard head shot.

This one is stunning.... I think she looks like a cover girl in this one.

This next shot has a sense of mystery. Actually, I was standing to the side of her fanning her hair to make it float a bit.

Silhouette Supermodels

Silhouette Supermodels

These supermodels were gracious enough to pose for this silhouette as the sun was setting. Ok, supermodels is a bit of a stretch, but they were happy to pose anyway.

Mmmm....Coffee

Mmmm....Coffee

When you have such a beautiful model working for you, it's wrong to publish just one pic. Standing on chairs seems to be something photographers need to do a lot of, and this photo shoot required just such an elevation adjustment. Getting the right angle with the lens requires looking from above, below, the side, close and far away. I only wish I had someone behind me with a camera to capture the photographer in the shot to tell the story completely.
