Take a model I’ve never worked with before, a park I haven’t spent much time shooting models at, a hot & humid day with intermittent downpours and mix. The result is a very tiring but fun shoot and some interesting photos.

Hopefully I can turn that around now and it won’t happen again for a while (from time to time it’s inevitable though!) to come. Here’s just a brief update… A number of things are going on right now.
