Starting out. (Patreon)

What a way to start a shooting!Towards the beginning with an accustomed model, there is no need to start gradually.I'm not one of those photographers that needs to gradually disrobe the body, we start with her nude from the beginning.And there is no concern about an easy start, because the levels available have been discussed up front.If I choose to do one thing before the other is just for practical reasons.For example, it was a bad idea to have Martina playing on pine trees at the beginning of a shoot, because she dad to wash off the resin before we got inside the house.Or it is better to avoid getting the feet dirty before placing the model on the white sheets of the bed.Sometimes I start with close portraits by the window, not to make the model feel more comfortable, but because this can allow the rest of the skin on the body to get rid of the elastic marks from the underwear she was wearing before getting undressed, and because her face is less tired when we start. Most of the times, it is just the whim of the moment.

The most important thing, is to make frequent changes, even if you have found a good spot, because if you fix on a single theme for a long time, all photos will look similar so, as soon as you have tried something and found it is working well, you have to be strong and turn your attention to something new, because I'm not in search for the perfect photo, but for the highest number of emotions I can capture in a given time.
