Photographing a model with extensive dance background is very different from photographing a model who grew up modeling. I had recently had the opportunity of photographing Eva Luna in my favorite studio, The Candy Factory in Fremont, CA. Vince Gotti, the Director of Photography at GEV Magazine, set the shoot up and contacted the amazing hair stylist Roy from Hair by Roy along with the always fabulous Prince Kaleo from The Armoire Closet to create a fantastic photography set.

Eva was so interesting to work with. Unlike most models who move from pose to pose, Eva fluidly moved throughout the entire shoot. It was up to the photographer to guide the movement and capture an instance of its most beautiful state.  Now I would never give this posing advice when I am doing corporate headshots or portrait photography here in San Jose / San Francisco area, but for some reason, she was able to make it work. Maybe it was because she was a dancer, maybe she was just really good at what she does; no matter what the reason on how she made “fluid posing” work, I am looking forward to working with her again in the future.
