I invited Kay to shoot for my projects with one eye on those great tats she sports.  They would look great in my nude portrait project.

A common feature of all of her references were comments about her great personality and that was no accident.  She was fun to work with, had a great personality and a delightful habit of agreeing enthusiastically with every suggestion we made  and some of those suggestions were definitely not mainstream glamour 🙂

While we’d been setting up the shoot she’d mentioned several times that she wanted to do ‘something different’ and to get away from the usual round of soft lit glamour pix.

I suggested something from the alternative world and she jumped at the idea.

Linda had been working up some alternative makeup ideas, and this was  a chance to put them into practice, though I wasn’t going to get quite that adventurous in my projects, so makeup had to be squeezed into a set change after the project work.

We even picked up an extra bonus when Kay mentioned that her partner, Brian had recently started modelling and was looking for work.  Before the end of the shoot we had agreed solo shoots for both of them and a couple shoot 🙂

We didn’t have the luxury of being able to let the shoot run on past the planned time, so we finished before we got to the end of the shooting script, but we’ll pick up the rest next time 😀
