Be Bold!

I had this concept growing in my head for several weeks. This is not the image that was in my brain, but Rachell brought lots of energy and creative juice to the shoot.

I this ironic idea of a woman in heels, pink ruffle bum panties and a corset pushing a shopping cart towards the store front.

I explained my concept to Rachell and she got excited. This kind of shoot takes the right kind of model. Not everyone can feel comfortable in panties in a shopping parking lot.

Rachell had the chutzpah and the beautiful long legs to carry this off. We set up lighting, she changed right behind the car and as soon as it was set, we started shooting.

We noticed a car of couple of lovers necking a little ways of and they just stared.

One of the things that made this shoot work was the idea was fleshed out before hand, we were able to shoot quick before drawing much attention and we were both into the concept.

We did get nervous at one point as a patrol car drove around. He stopped far off in the parking lot and just stayed there. I guess he felt that we were not up to mischief and drove off.

The great thing about a concept is that once the central image is conceived, you can build many images from there. We got a full set in about 40 minutes.

In this case, the photographer had the idea and model contributed. But if you are a model, you don't have to wait for a photographer to come to you with an idea, you can flesh out your own idea and find a photographer that matches your style and hit them up.

I love shoots like this because it is out of the ordinary. Not many models have a photo of themselves pushing a shopping cart to the store, but Rachell Does. Here is the full gallery
