THIS GALLERY CONTAINS NUDES AND IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK (NSFW)

Mel is a very nice (in personality) figure model, but she's going into "retirement." This was to be her last photoshoot for some time as she's headed off for a different future. If I could arrange to shoot with her again, I would, she's a very good model and she also took the time to critique some of my work which is always appreciated, even if it can be harsh.

For some of you out there interested in equipment, the studio was set for constant hot lighting to avoid flash photography. Also, I ended up using two lenses more than my others: the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di lenses. I found this time I used the Tamron a lot more often. I also tried to make time for the 85mm/1.8 and a rental 35mm/1.4L.

Makeup and outfits were provided by Mel.

She can be found on OneModelPlace. She can be found on ModelMayhem and OneModelPlace. Mel has retired from modeling and I wish her luck... As she's trying to be more low key, I have removed her full name from this page...

I took almost 2000 photos of which I threw out about 60%, and I'm culling the remainder down to something reasonable and manageable. As I do so and as I process them, I'll update this gallery over the coming days/weeks.

As usual comments and critiques are requested and if you like one of the shots (or the gallery), feel free to vote... Thanks!
