Model on the rocks (Patreon)

The first professional Art-nude model I worked with in Denmark was Mette Munkø. I had just started dipping my toes into art-nudes and I badly needed to work with good models. 

So we joined forces and did a 2 day trip to Kullaberg in nearby Sweden.

This was early August and the super busy season in the nature preserve we were shooting at, so in order to have the place more or less to ourselves we needed to be there by sunrise, so it had to be a stay-over trip.

We shot some great images on this trip. 

This is not the best one by far, but I had a Canon G-9 camera I set up on a Gorilla pod to shoot a couple of BTS movies. The battery was depleted shortly after this movie though so only a few BTS movies are available from the trip. I thought it might be fun to see the full length. Or extremely boring as it's 25min long.

I really like this stone in the water and I will, without doubt, shoot something there again (something much more elegant) but I still like this despite the shortcomings, possibly because it was one of the first really successful art-nude in nature shots I did. It also put me on the track on how to work with really hard light when shooting nudes, something I really annoy doing to this day.

Looking at the movie again it tells me I should probably revisit the raw files as there might be a couple of great images of Mette's backside I must have ignored when originally sorting through the images.
