Alright, now the ball is rolling again. So, today I had Christy sit in front of the camera. Christy and I attended middle and high school together and hung out in the same group. Unfortunately, I am horrible about keeping in touch with old high school friends, so we've not actually seen one another, face-to-face, since our 10-year class reunion in 2006. So, this sitting ended up really serving as a time to chat and catch up. Christy, Megan, and I sat for very nearly two hours in the living room talking about life, old times, and the real estate market before we ever even got started shooting. Once we went upstairs to the studio, I asked her about how, when, and where she met her husband and clicked away at the shutter as she spoke.
Christy seemed to be the least self-conscious in front of the camera of the models who have sat for me so far, though her arms and hands were less expressive than Rebecca's. Christy definitely has a no-nonsense attitude and is a strong, commanding presence. This REALLY comes through in the resulting photographs, I think. That's the kind of stuff I've hoped to get from this series!
It was great to catch up and I shall have to do my best to make sure another five years don't pass between now and the next time we speak.
Below are a few shots from the session that I particularly like:
