Tara: Sketch 1- Wearing Slip
Posted On December 2, 2010
………One of the intangibles about finding new subjects to photograph, is that its virtually impossible to assume where the next model will come from. I was in Philly walking down 18th street near Sansom, when I noticed a new coffee shop. The building was very attractively remodeled, enough so that I decided to try a cup of coffee to peruse the inside. At the counter, I noticed a short haired-young blondish woman with the middle of her lower lip pierced.

We struck an immediate accord and began to talk about art and photography. Within a few minutes she passed along a torn piece of paper with her name and phone number on it. I left the place with a delicious cup of coffee and an invitation to photograph her at her apartment as soon our schedules would permit.

A few days later I arrived at her apartment in West Philadelphia. She shared the apartment with a roommate and suggested to insure complete privacy that we photograph in her bedroom; a charming place, clean, neat and modestly decorated. Trust was immediately established between the two of us, so I proceeded to take a few test shots or sketches, as I prefer to call the type of sitting that ensued.

She was completely at ease, exuding confidence in her body and inner self esteem.
