The best outcome from any connection is the building of a working rapport with time...between photographer and model, or even photographer and location. Each new opportunity grows upon the foundation laid down previously.
The sampler montage, left, was created from the seven different photoshoots with my friend, Ana Maria, spanning eight months between June 2007 and February 2008. The imagery is presented in chronicle order, top to bottom, including four locations: Knights Ferry, Calif., Old Sacramento, Calif., University of Pacific's Stockton, Calif. campus, and Ana's home in Lodi, Calif.Of this "museful" working rapport, Ana wrote:
"Where do I begin?? I have "worked" with Richard on numerous occasions now... and, it's really not "work" at all. Richard has a very open mind and heart and has an amazing gift to be able to capture beauty, whether it be the beauty of nature and natural things, or a deep human emotion. Every photo tells a story, and if you ask nicely, he will tell you the story! Richard has become a very close friend and I am SO honored that he will be shooting my wedding in June! No words can really describe the amount of respect I have for this man. He has become like family!"
Three of these seven photoshoots also had a common location...
...which was fun to return to with Ana (with her and her fiance, Nick, once).
