Here’s one from my last shoot with Amanda (Apnea). Working with her is a dream come true for me. I became aware of her from a cover of Gothic Beauty Magazine back in 2005. Seeing her photo literally stopped me in my tracks (if you can believe that). I bought the magazine and found her web site. A couple of years later, she mentioned she was coming to town. I sent her a message introducing myself and asked for a shoot. She agreed. I was starstruck. When we worked together, it took a lot of energy to contain that but we produced a number of great images. She was totally cool and made my concepts come alive. I didn’t work with her again until she contacted me in 2015 for a shoot. I got the studio and we did a morning session (yes, I got up early for her). This photo is from that session. I’m hoping to work with her again someday. (And yes, I’m still a little starstruck to this day.) @samsanchezphoto
