The two experienced professional models posed in 19 setups including a very attractive gun toting “hill-billy”, a beach scene complete with Beach Buggy and scuba gear, bravely posing naked on a log pile in full view of the surrounding countryside (the models, not the delegates!) and a glamorous boudoir scene of the type used to advertise almost anything from expensive watches to perfumes and lingerie! Everything in this scene was artificial (except for the beautiful model) being props supplied by Studio Décor in their business.
My favourite (and best) shots were the latter, a tree branch balancing act and the familiar “nude in the meadow” which Chris said should have included a chocolate bar. This location used a combination of sunshine (yes it did shine and very hot requiring factor 50 sun block supplied by Jon of Studio Décor) and a very large reflector made by California Sunbounce (a German company!) which could have doubled as a hang-glider but was ably controlled by Chris’ son Simon who was experienced and sturdy enough to keep his feet on the ground on the steep hillside!
I was delighted to learn several days later that Chris had included three of my shots on his course blog and shortly after the model I had sent a selection of pics to decided to include them on her web based portfolio! A very successful course for me!
