My 1st Model: Venus

Meet my 1st Model......



Modeling is an art and many models can express themselves like actors as they have to show feelings and emotions in front of the camera.

As I branched out from Outdoor/Landscape photography to Portrait, few months ago I signed up for Model Workshop organized by one of our top Master Photograher. It's a small pro-active group: the organizer, 3 male photographers, myself , and the model. We take turns and share images to see how one perspective differs from the rest and how lights (natural and studio) affect the model. One photographer quoted me "Marichu, you've captured the feminine side, the female perspective!"....That's the advantage of being a female photographer!

I was curious and excited having a real model in front of me. As I keenly observed the model - so beautiful, so sexy and so natural (no make up and hair style) with her "expressive" facial and body movements and oozing with sex appeal, I thought "This model is really an Artist!...She's gifted!...She's a real Model!....Then my attention shifted to my fellow photographers that ... we all have one thing in common, one passion. We don't take pictures, we capture the moments and make them into artistic images.

Available to you now..my very 1st model images. They are not perfect but I know I'll improve more as the time goes by....I am pleased to introduce to you my 1st "real" model. And I call her...

Venus ~ like the goddess.

"Oh! Languid goddess who sees the world from on high tempestuous Olympus, so presumptuous of your beauty...You skin has been threaded with gold and silver fibres.Your golden hair was wrought with innate refinement.You seduce every man with your slender silhouette, your enchantment increases..." ~ Goddess Venus poem by Silvina Castellano
