Last minute bikini shoot with Christine

I have this thing about shooting, I love to keep doing it to keep me sharp I suppose but then when it comes to the appointed time, I get bleh to where I no longer want to do it, for one reason or another. I keep thinking I’m getting burned out, which is completely poossible, but I still love doing it and creating with new people because even though its essentially the same it isn’t, for one, its not the same person, and even if it is, the situation is different, the outfit is different, even the location is different.

This shoot with Christine was last-minute, though not really we’ve been trying to coordinate our schedules for awhile now and we finally were able to get it going. The thing is I also had to put a portrait shoot at the same day and a similar time slot. Then, I thought of an opportunity, Christine is also an aspiring photog and loves photographing people, so whilst I do my portraits she can grip for me, sounds good and it was good for her as well.

I chose to photograph Christine as I do with most shoots I do these days in existing light, tech on camera these days has become so good that images are always ‘acceptable’ even without a flash or reflector, or maybe I’ve gotten lazier as I’ve aged, lol. - I really think its burn out, I’ll rest one day, in the meantime here’s a few of my take from that day.
