Throwback Thursday:

Haunting of the Blue

Originally Shot: 01-19-13

Models: Teresa Fontana

Location: Shetler Studios

This was my second time shooting with Teresa, and one of the earliest shoots with my then, brand spanking new, 40mm lens. It was a crazy early morning for both of us night owls - she came in with minimal sleep after a fun night out. Even back then, I didn't sleep very much at night anyway.

But, hey - Shetler's Early Bird rates are CRAZY - $9 bucks an hour before noon? Yeah. So worth it.

We covered multiple looks during the shoot, but this has to be one of my absolute favorites. Teresa's playfulness and willingness to just do interesting, wonderful things in front of the camera was setting the bar for what I needed from all of my future collaborators. I never thought I ever did her beauty justice then, and I still don't think I did. But, hey - it's all in the trying, ain't it?
