Blue River Dream

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jun 30, 2021 | Kodak Girls, Models

One of the figure models we work with is Blue River Dream, a local model here in the DC area. She is always great fun to collaborate with on ideas for photos. I’ll come up with an idea for a photo session, she’ll look through what she has for wardrobe and props, and between us, we always come up with wonderful ideas. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my photos of Blue River Dream.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph Zoe Celesta West on two different occasions: the first, at a workshop with Marie Otero, and the second in our studio in Bethesda. I’m looking forward to working with Zoe again once we’re able reopen our studio and it’s safe for models to travel again.

Gazelle Powers

In December 2019, I had the chance to work with Gazelle Powers, a local fine-art figure model. I shared my ideas for my Kodak Girls inspired series with her and she arrived for our session full of ideas, and with some wonderful outfits. I can’t wait to work with Gazelle again once it is safe to reopen our studio.

Bill and I had the pleasure of working with Wayne Sequoyah Bladen not long before we had to close our studio for in-person sessions due to Covid. I’ve recently edited the photos from a wonderfully fun afternoon in the studio with Wayne.

Anoush Anou

Photographs from a remote session with Anoush Anou in late 2020. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the ability to work with models at a distance – Anoush was in her home in Ohio, and I was in my basement in Maryland – when these photographs were created!

In February 2020, I attended a workshop created by Marie Otero with figure model Ivory Flame. This image of Ivory Flame with a Fan of Feathers is just one of several incredible images I took at the workshop.
