BELTS

A SFW proof from a shoot with Lucy featuring belts. She was a lot of fun to work with. I got the idea from an in-store display at Macy’s. There were a number of mannequins with leather belts fastened around the torso. It had a distinct BDSM theme but I’m guessing most of the shoppers didn’t pick up on that. It’s just the way I think. @samsanchezphoto

CONCEPT

I thought a lifting belt, kneepads, and large ski gloves would make great wardrobe items with the right model. That model is Amanda. She can take any wardrobe item or prop and bring the concept to life. This is the SFW proof from that shoot. I’m looking forward to working with her again the next time she’s in town. @samsanchezphoto

IT’S A MAJOR AWARD

It’s an honor to be mentioned. I’d like to thank the judges for their selection but I’d like to especially thank Carina for making this photo with me. She is the other half of our creative partnership and I’m grateful to have her onboard. I couldn’t have made this photo without her. Not only because she’s an awesome model and an accomplished photographer but because she brings out my best work by inspiring images like this one. @samsanchezphoto

POWER

I absolutely love working with Amanda. She always brings my concepts to life and contributes her own style. When I was editing this photo, I kept thinking, “Lordy mama! Amanda is a work of art.” Her tattoos, visage, and demeanor make this happen. She’s also one of the nicest models I’ve ever met. I’m looking forward to working with her again next time she’s in town. @samsanchezphoto
