In a previous post I mentioned that my first shoot with a hired model was coming up, and I am happy to say it went well yesterday. I am busy developing the analog film (shot with my Mamiya M645J medium format, on Trix-X black and white film), but below I have one on the reference images, shot digitally.

In the past, almost all of my photography has been reactive, in the sense that I was an observer to a story or scene when I took the image. In this kind of shoot, I need to create the story, as well as shoot it. I must provide every element, and every detail is my responsibility. It is a stretch, but fun and exciting at the same time. I want more.
