8th Shoot - No longer bound

Sometime you have someone walk in to the studio and, even if they have never had a portrait sitting, they are a natural in front of the camera. Yesterday we had Sharmaine walk quietly into the studio and just blow us away. We have had trouble choosing which images to use for this project, but the top one is by far my favourite. The saying is what is tattooed on her upper arm.

With most of the shoots our model has brought a friend along for support. In this case we asked Clare if she would like to pose for the project as well.
