Florence
ABSOLUTELY her FIRST SHOOT.
Florence is 19 years old. She is Latin. A friend referred her to me. She
was pretty damn nervous actually. So I took her out to get some coffee
(caffeine was probably not the best relaxer) and to chat a little. I
kept asking her, "are you still nervous?" She'd reply, "yeah".
She had just recently started dancing so she was all good with taking
her clothes off, but the picture thing just freaked her out. She wasn't
worried about nudity, just the posing. As she said, "what the hell am I
supposed to do?".
It was a little awkward at first and she often got a little frustrated
and BORED, I think. Note the "now what?, are we done?" pose.
ha ha ha.
Finally, I pulled out some dirty mags so she could see what the hell type
of poses these girls make. I used to do this when I first started
shooting so I could show the models what to do. I also used to make
thumbnail printouts of all the different types of poses. I would just
show them to the model and VIOLA! The model would imitate. It worked
pretty good for awhile. I don't do it anymore - I just shoot what I see
as I go along. Anyway, the magazines worked pretty good for Florence, and
she finally got the hang of it. Note: some models might be offended by
you showing them the magazines, however, the funny thing is that with
some models just the OPPOSITE happens - they get AROUSED. For real! Ah
ha...so, always good to get an idea what type of person she is BEFORE
throwing porno at her :) Florence seemed to like the magazines.
She has a great little bod', has nice boobies and is totally straight -
won't even do photos with girls. I seriously doubt that she will end up
doing much of this work. She thought it was not enough money for the
amount of time (this is common for girls used to dancing where guys
throw money at them on stage). I tell models "taking photos is
laborious, video is EASIER". I did get a LITTLE bit of video on her
which will be up shortly.
So she is probably "sayonara" from nude modeling (at least until the
dollar tips stop landing at her feet).
