Recently, Eric Kroll posted a photo of Gwen. I commented that her expression was captivating. He whole heartedly agreed. That got me thinking about Gwen. And that’s why I’m making this post. Her photos always stop me in my tracks. She actually has that affect on me in real life. One time, she wished me a happy birthday on FB. I stopped breathing when I read it. It was a simple greeting but it came from Gwen. THE GWEN! I was over the moon. It was a dolly-zoom moment. I shared that experience with a model friend. She said it amazes her how I turn into a star-struck fanboy when it comes to certain models. Apnea has that affect on me too. So does my model friend. I think it’s because I was a fan before I photographed them. I’ll probably just melt into a pool of protoplasm if I ever shoot Riley Reid. This is my experiment with a duotone. I kinda like it but I’m sure it’s not the tones that are getting my attention. It’s all Gwen. @samsanchezphoto

Ann and her wife so graciously allowed me to shoot in their house on several occasions. It was a fun place to shoot. During the day, we had to be quiet. The landlady operated a small business downstairs and there was no insulation, carpeting or otherwise, between second floor and the first floor. This created a problem when the models would walk around in high heels. I had to remove my boots and shoot in my sox. Also, we told the landlady the models were just friends visiting for a few hours. She wouldn’t have understood the truth. We had some damn beautiful friends come by and Andrea was one of them. @samsanchezphoto

She responded to my casting on Model Mayhem back when they didn’t read your PMs. I always thought she looked like Michelle Williams. Unfortunately, we only worked together one time. This was a fun shoot. She’s very uninhibited. @samsanchezphoto
