Carlotta is pretty much the best known traveling glamour & fine arts model in the world.  She has appeared everywhere -- her resume is jam packed & impressive.

I always feel so privileged that she visits our small market here once in a while, and I am even more privileged when she agrees to pose for me.

Unlike her typical high-glam session, I choose to work with her in a more casual setting 

  

Y'know -- no matter how casual the setting and how casual the clothing, Carlotta always looks sexy to me.

I think I still prefer the sepia toning to these pictures, but for those color fans, I'll throw in the occasional color image. 

 

 

 

I love working with experienced models.  They are comfortable & confident, and they are practiced at presenting their figures in the best light.

(Ha!  "In the best light"!  That's a photography pun!)

But I think I challenge experienced models.  Many experienced models simply revert to those tried & true habits that made them successful, like that serious, staring off into the distance type pose.  I like eye contact.  

Many models are used to being lost in their own little world inside their heads, but I like to engage the model's brain with a little conversation, which can break their concentration.

Carlotta, besides being a knock-out, is quite intelligent and adapts to my style quite easily.  She's easy to be around and easy to talk with.

 

 

 

 

Oooo -- we got Carlotta's socks off.  Look at those ankles!

Several years ago, I called my "go-to" model to come over in a hurry so that we could take advantage of the natural light in my house on a rare sunny winter day.  She hustled on over, came inside, & quickly threw off her clothing.  She plopped down in the golden light, and we immediately started working, and we made some wonderful images.

A couple of minutes into the session, she looked down at her ankles and pointed out that her tight socks had left some marks there.  I replied, "Darling, no body is going to be looking at your ankles!"

 

 

 

 

Carlotta has a glorious figure, and this moment, when she reveals it to me, is always breathtaking. 

 

See the image below:  I like it when I'm inspired to try some non-centered compositions.  I like how that image below works.

 

 

  

 

 

  

 

I like this picture.  I like how Carlotta is nude but you can't quite see all the juicy bits.  I don't like that you can see the tops of her bottoms by her hips, but what can you do?  I like how svelte Carlotta's waist is.

 

 

 

 

I shouldn't admit this, but I work here on my computer pretty much every day, and when I do, I'm here alone.  I'm not used to that.  So, in order to keep me company, I have a TV set up right next to my computer monitor (on the left).  I don't watch it; I don't even listen to it much, but it's on, and on occasion it grabs my attention.

Right now, there's a Victoria's Secret ad on, shouting "All underwear, 50% off!!!"  I wonder if this is what they had in mind?

Ha!  Who says photography (especially nude photography) has to be serious?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carlotta is always a pleasure to work with.

What follows next is some work with a new scarf I got.  Go see at...
