Model Irene Arstral Glifada, Greece and Athens, Greece

June 22, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Irene was so interesting. She is a downhill skier for Greece and she is an archaeologist as well as being the official Greek Pin Up Model. Irene went through casting in March and was the first choice for this shoot. She communicated the locations she thought would be best for our sessions and researched the type of photo sessions we were having. All were outdoor, daily routine photographs. Many of these were on the Aegean Sea and Glifada is an unbelievably beautiful location. Irene was wonderful to work with. She was professional, prompt, studied and of course attractive as were all the models. She had a tough sense of humor and kept me laughing the entire shoot. I had an awesome time and we had a great shoot.

JJ and Ashley's Wedding in Right Fork

I wish I could have been here for this wedding, but I was still in Europe. Donna Roark was the photographer for this wedding and she did a great job. She was also the coordinator and helped decorate as well. It was a very family oriented, outdoor affair. Ashley and her daughter were already a part of JJs family, but this certainly made things official. I am sooooo happy for both of them. They are two of my friends that deserve happiness. Congratulations.

Stefania was amazing to work with. Athens is exceptionally difficult to drive in, so Stefania and I took the subway to the Plaka, which is a historic district of Athens, just below the Acropolis. It was a beautiful area. Stefania is a runway model in Milan, Italy, an Actress and model in Greece and is very recognized as I found out that day. I saw her on a billboard for an advertisement when we exited the subway station and people recognized her. We had to get out of the mainstream to be able to photograph. Stefania was very natural with her poses and she knew the best places to shoot. I learned a lot at our photo session and was greatly impressed with her poise and ability.

Model Lucie On the door step of Vienna, Austria

Brno is a city about 40 minutes north of Vienna, Austria. It is a beautiful city with amazing architecture and the home of the Spielberg Castle. Lucie and I worked in a park, just below the castle and in the city near a college. Lucie has been a model for 5 years and has been a runway model in Vienna. We shot stock photography in outdoor settings, but she is normally employed as a fashion model. I drove from Prague to Brno and had the wonderful experience of driving long straight roads in Europe. They move! When I got to Brno, my GPS was not correct and I got lost. We finally met about an hour late, but Lucie was extremely nice and understanding about my mishap. We had a great session and I was able to capture several very nice stock photos. Thanks Lucie.

Model Darya from Siberia Russia photographed in Prague, Czech Republic

During casting, I met Darya Yakutina. Darya is a model from Siberia Russia that moved to Prague in 2012. She is a student at the university and models full time. Her father is a scientist that still lives and works in Siberia. Darya had studied the motif of the photo shoot and was prepared for the stock photo session when she arrived. We photographed in Prague Castle, at the Charles Bridge, and at the National Rose Garden. Darya was very kind and I was glad to see how well she remembered over 200 photos I wanted to capture. The photo shoot was based around every day activities such as talking on the phone, having a glass of water and other normal activities. Darya is normally a glamour model, but I asked all of them to dress down a bit and not over do the makeup. Darya was wonderful to work with.
