This past Monday, December 14th, I was fortunate enough to have been booked
for a photoshoot with Pedro Bauza, an artist I’ve worked with several times
before. I say I was “fortunate enough”
not just because Pedro is a talented visionary whose work has been displayed in
The Louvre, but also because it was going to be shot in my city, at some of my favorite spots, on a work day (so PTO but whatever, day off) and it was around frickin' 70 degrees and partly cloudy in December.
(Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
All the jealousy from 9-5ers.)
But moving on to those favorite RVA spots I mentioned:
We started the shoot at the (now
probably iconic) Richmond Canal Walk in Shockoe Bottom, as well as the Pipeline (which is a spot along the
James River that mostly only locals know about) since it's about a stone's throw away,
And then after making a quick detour through Church Hill for some of its picturesque overlooks, we finished up back at my apartment... after I declined to do a fully nude shoot under the train track bridge next to
Pipeline. (Remember, if you ever model – you ALWAYS have the power to say “no”. It’s up to YOU.)
ANYWAY J I like working with Pedro and he’s not one of the bad
guys (you know the photographers/industry people I’m talking about). And the photoshoot yesterday was one of my
favorite, just because it was so beautiful out and it was such an easy, short
day AND so many of the shots came out great with little to no editing.
If you’re interested in seeing more of Mr. Bauza’s work, check out his website here. If you’re interested in seeing more of my work or booking me for a shoot, here’s my Model Mayhem page. And in the
meantime, I hope you enjoy what we were able to create. Yes this is self promotion, but I think I would
like these pictures anyway even if he’d chosen another model. Just sayin’.
