It is just such a project that I am working on that led me to hire this model to work with. The work isn't ready for showing yet -- it's in progress now. The images I've shown so far are taken from a mini session at the end of my project session where I simply indulged my love of posed portraits. Did you see the previous shot I posted called Bronze? That's an outtake from the first session, and is all I'll say about that for now. http://pdml.net/pipermail/pdml_pdml.net/2014-July/380548.html Thanks, Christine! BTW, > I think you have a model here with a lot of potential. Indeed.
