Steph and I were supposed to shoot yesterday, but she's having some personal family issues at moment. New shoots are in the works however.

(Floored) or the (Floor Project) This was one of my favorite shoots from the quarantine. Steph, window light and a 50mm lens on my Canon EOS R were the ingredients.

It was a cloudy day, we were bored, not knowing what to do having exhausted our quarantine activities. As so many creatives did over that period... they created.

I really never imagined I would get to share these with anyone. This shoot has been sitting in a folder for nearly 2 years.

I gave no direction in her posing, I just asked if we could photoshoot using the floor as the background. She agreed. She asked if she should put on make up, I said no, then she asked what she should wear, and I suggested a bra and underwear type look.

After a few shots I did not like that look at all and we opted as we usually do to photograph nude despite knowing I could not post them. I am glad I did. Her beauty is hard to describe, and these photos help portray the hidden layers of beauty beyond the physical.

The only words during the shoot: The floor was cold she told me, I could see her goosebumps, as she sprawled on the floor. Her poses were natural and sensual, even though there is nothing natural about being on the floor naked. The narrative came to mind as I was shooting her in silence... maybe she (the subject) was under the influence of a powerful herb that gave her the illusion that someone was with her. Her poses seemed to suggest someone/something was there. That would make this shoot more erotic than sensual, but I liked it.
