Do you know Emo style? If not, you will have to google for it. Anyway, Valentina's daughter - she turns to be a teenager soon - likes Emo. And she posses a black whig in Emo style. She was kind enough to lend her mother this whig for a day. That's the reason why you see Valentina in a strange look with black hair.
I have to admit that I was completely unsatisfied with my indoor shoots. Valentina was fine, like always. But I had problems with my light equipment and with creating ideas. I really don't like indoor shootings because I hate to make plans for and think about what I will do, what flashes I have to use, where exactly I will shoot and I hate to know in the morning how the photos will look like in the evening. I always prefer to become surprised by a new location, by an interesting sunlight, by an unexpectedly opportunity. These are things that only happen outdoors. I'm an outdoor photographer.
Therefore, after two sets (I hope you will like them nevertheless - I will put them on DaynesDiary.com in November) I suggested that we had a break and go outside for a little walk. As always I would take my camera with me. It was a bit chilly, but Nina wore a warm coat.
Not many models accept that, because they want to be paid right away. For pictures which I take during recesses, I can only pay as soon as I was able to sell them. And that's hardly ever the case :-(
Valenina, however, as well as late Lea De Mae or Edita Ungerova, is a present to photographers like me. She even didn't put on her slip - which unfortunately I got aware much too late!
