This was a fantastic shoot because Julia made it fantastic! She said that she'd never had professional photos taken, (except for her senior portraits, which she said weren't that great) I said " well, I'm not a pro,...yet). With this shoot, my portfolio has taken a GIANT leap forward!
As we passed by the clock tower, she said "it'd be cool to pose up there!", pointing to the bricked in window on the side of the tower. Now, I've tried to get girls up there to pose before, and even with my help, they could never get up there. To high, to steep a ledge, too scary! I said "if you can get up there, go for it, just don't hurt yourself". With that being said she kicked off her shoes and scaled the wall like a seasoned rock climber. And then to show off, she did a spiderman, (or spiderwoman!) pose.
Then, we were in front of the clock tower, by the Iron gate and I was about to show her how I wanted her to pose when I realized, she did not need my help posing, so I told her to just "do what you do). So, she hung upside down by her toes. Of course! It is amazing how relaxed her face looks upside down. And remember, the day we shot, it was 45 degrees out. those iron bars are freezing!
In closing, Julia is a beautiful girl...and a strong girl. I thank her for her time, energy and willingness to show off her amazing talents!
