I met Gwyn almost as an accident. One of my first and best models, Laura, had become great friends with Gwyn in Los Angeles, both of whom are originally from my hometown, where I still live. On some drunken evening, while comedically lamenting my lack of open-minded models with Laura, she recommended Gwyn, saying how chill and artsy she was and probably open to any creative ideas I might have. The next month Gwyn came up to visit her family and we made arrangements to meet up.
Sporting a wide variety of jewelry and bohemian-styled dress, I had no idea what to expect from Gwyn, apart from her being a genuine sweetheart. But within minutes she was comfortable posing for the camera wearing less and less, and soon she was in my shower under dramatic lighting posing for odd double exposures. That was the first of several great creative endeavors.
Our third meeting involved the revision of my newly discovered laser experiment. I think this was when I finally started getting comfortable with it.
