Model Jessica Yurash – one more photo for Outdoor Fashion Portfolio.

I love to work with Jessica Yurash! She is a very experienced model and actress. We have worked together two times before, and each time I was amazed at how easily and creatively she takes directions from the photographer. She always adds something personal to any idea. The first shooting was meant to be a test shoot, but it became a real creative photo session just because of her excellent work and talent.

<-- Here are some photos from first photo shoot for Jessica's Model Portfolio. 

The photo on the left is from our second session. We drove on highway 9, and stopped for some shooting in a local restaurant in Boulder Creek. Then we drove up to Big Basin Redwood Forest. The redwoods are one of my favorite places to go for outdoor fashion photography. The natural backgrounds are very rich and "juicy" in color, and the light is soft, so with two external flashes I have full control of the light. Usually I use natural lighting as my main light, and then the two flashes are for highlights and emphasis.
