Shot with a Canon 5D with a Canon EF IS 28-135mm lens at 53mm. ISO 800 A shutter of 1/200 @ f4.5. Two flash units, one on each side on plane with model. Bedside lamp on left just out of frame as a hair light. Hand held RAW capture. Little PS work other than to adjust WB and crop.

This young lady was the Front Desk Clerk at a motel I stayed in on a recent trip to the State of Louisianna, USA. One of the models I was to have shot with cancelled at the last minute leaving me with a huge hole in my schedule. When I had checked in a had noticed this young lady's beautiful complexion and brillant smile. I asked my fiance to accomplany me down to the desk and ask her if she had ever considered modeling before and if she would be willing to shoot with me. She asked a lot of questions then called her mother and her best friend to come meet and speak with me. They went off for a hour or so to eat after she got off duty and to talk over my proposal.

To my ever lasting amazement and delight....she accepted!

In this image she has absolutely no make up on and had been off duty for about 3 hours at the time. We were about an hour into her very first shoot EVER. I was astounded in how quickly she began to get relaxed and comfortable. The very best image we got that night was of her fully nude and laughing hysterically. However, it is not within JPG's posting guidelines.

This is one of three that will be posted here.
