The ART behind the photograph (Models) Part 4

I get my inspiration from many places. Magazines, movies and just walking around I'll see a spot that would make for a great setting. This is actually the back side of the Italia Piazza in New Orleans. I'm not sure if this still exists as I took this photo back in the 90's. Below you'll see another shot from a different angle. 

 I met Sara in the mid 80’s. I was always looking for new people to photograph and one night outside of De ja vu I saw here. She had long flowing black hair that came down to her backside. She had a figure and a distinct look. Of course when I approached her about possibly letting me photograph her she thought I was crazy. Most women always assume a photographer wants something or that he wants to photograph them nude.
In most cases that is true, but I really thought she had something.

We formed a friendship and hung out as much as we could. Our friendship became distant and then one day out of the blue we connected again. She had lost weight and had cut the hair which bothered me, but she was still attractive. She agreed to finally pose for me since she felt better about the way she looked. The result was some very sexy photographs. Everything worked so well together.

A lot of people don’t realize that people that have a certain look don’t always find themselves attractive. No matter how many times you may see a picture it’s hard to envision with everyone else sees. It is true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

A photographer can only do so much, but with the right model, art can be created.
