GWEN 055
I have edited this photo in so many different ways through the years. This is the latest version. It was fun making this safe for IG. The NSFW will be posted someday. @samsanchezphoto

I decided to post this photo in honor her birthday. Although I only worked with her once, Gwen had a big impact on my work. She showed me what was possible. She brought my concepts to life. She also taught me to get on my knees when I’m working. This isn’t some veiled BDSM thing. I was standing the entire time I was photographing her. I discovered later that a lower camera angle makes the body look longer. I titled this Absolution because she has a Joan of Arc look about her because of the hood, and it sounds dramatic. That wasn’t my intent with this concept. I just think models in hoodies are sexy. Forgiveness and Salvation were also in the running for the title. @samsanchezphoto

Part of a wardrobe test. Giselle photographs beautifully. I wish we had a chance to shoot again. @samsanchezphoto

Twice in one day!? That’s going to kill an old man like me. Wait. I’m talking about two postings. Lordy mama! Where is your mind? 😃 I just wanted to share the color version of this pose. It’s actually a completely separate photo taken a second earlier. Carina preferred the color to the monochrome. @samsanchezphoto

I hadn’t thought about Mischa in over a year until I found her on Twitter. In addition to being a talented model, Mischa is also an accomplished artist. I wish I had collected the photos of her work when she used to post them. This photo is from the Zivity Pinup Workshop in 2008. I remember how gracious and patient she was with all the photographers clamoring to shoot her. I wish I had booked another shoot with her. It was fun making this photo “safe” for IG. Someday I’ll post the NSFW image. @samsanchezphoto

The texture on her tights contributes to her superhero look. @samsanchezphoto
