Wild at Heart

It was very easy to work with Tessa; she moved superbly and showed great poses. It's best when the model moves continuously. Some photographers don't want the model to move at all, but I like it. I prefer to photograph spontaneously, inspired by the emerging movement.
This and all the other sessions for the Wild at Heart series were photographed in Los Angeles, using natural light, and in New York with studio lighting. I use the latter when there is no natural light available, or if I want to create a special look.”
