Prior to this shoot, I had never taken any model-style photos. This is my very first model shoot. Joseph is an experienced model, which made my job easy. We decided to go out to the cliffs of Torrey Pines in La Jolla, after seeing some beautiful buildings in that area, online. In 3 hours of non-stop shooting, we climbed tons of stairs, teetered on unstable cliffs, froze in the icy ocean, trailblazed, and dodged clothing-challenged bathers at the beach to capture alot of beautiful shots. I don’t like to pose people like they are puppets and bark commands at how they should stand. I enjoy capturing people naturally, and he was definitely a natural at it. Not one photo was posed by me. It was a great day and I had such a fun time throughout the process.
