The Shoot for Assignment One

This is a series of photographs I took during the final shoot for assignment one.  I was inspired by a series of Edward Weston photographs: Tina Reciting, 1924: http://ccp.uair.arizona.edu/item/14882, not so much by the images themselves but by the idea of getting the model to recite, to express her thoughts and emotions.  My model is an actor, so I was sure she'd remember something to recite.

Classic pose for remembering.

She begins, a little uncertainly...

but warms to her subject...

now she's really selling it...

the big finish...

the closing words...

 And we're done.  I've posted these images because I think they're a really nice sequence.  I haven't yet decided on my selection for the assignment, though the first and last here are contenders.  I'm very grateful to my model for lending me her time and beauty.
