This is a 3 part series that I had shot with Jade Vixen. Jade is not only beautiful, but she is great at portraying characters. She can be very emotive as seen here but also is very skilled at doing her own hair and make-up which she applied differently for each of the various characters we shot of her during our shoot.

During the shoot of the nurse Vixen character we had run through a bunch of various takes with different looks and expressions, getting a feel and building up on it as we went along.

Towards the end of this set I started to have a strong idea of what I wanted from her character. To try to bring that out front, I asked Jade to act out as though the Doctor she was working with had just cut off his patients head! She took a few seconds to think about it and then just broke out with these expressions. . .she was amazing. I had to keep from laughing actually because seeing her through the lens with that look was outrageous!
It was perfect and she nailed it within minutes.

The studio light set up was White Lightning X1600 through 24x32" photoflex softbox as key. Speedlites through smaller boxes overhead and as fill, as well as some bg light.

Post processing through LightRoom and Photoshop CS4.

So many great models and fantastic photos! Particularly though, Jade is absolutely flawless! I mean not even a dent in her waist with the tight skirt! Not that she wouldn't be perfect with a dent but is she really that perfect or did you do some touching up? Regardless you really ran into the model jackpot with this wonderful group. Great fun stuff you got from them!

Thanks for dropping in. . .
Antonio, we gotta get together eventually. . .thanks

Tonya, no skirt here so i think you might be reffering to another post with Jade, like the pinup shoot. No, really no retouching done to her her form other than skin softening for the aesthetic of the pinup style look. I think she looks THAT good, plus her skirt waist was not that tight.
Thanks for the time
