I shot Sheila's set last summer when I first got to Vancouver. I was introduced to her by the charming miss Redmess and fell for her personality almost instantly. She is so fun and laid back. Not to mention a stunner. I have tons of photos of her from the few days I spent with them both! For now, just one that sums their friendship up:
Swooon.
So, go take a look at her set, I really love the atmosphere in it even if it took a long while to make it to the front page. It makes me so nostalgic for the summers here.

Okay, and MY set. Thank you so much. I am seriously more overwhelmed than I even was on my last sets. I have a couple of messages and emails calling out the "travesty" of the low comments. But, as I tell all the girls I shoot: comment count shouldn't be important to you - it really is the quality of comments that is important to me. I'm seriously not the skinniest or hottest girl on here physically and I'm okay with that. I think I have a fairly pretty face and I try to make up for it in my own ways by being creative. So, thanks for your concern, but I don't mind!
made a special video for today. Take a look if you like...
Shooting sets on Film.
Basically what I said in the part I sped up (because I hate the way I sound on camera! ARGH):
I use a Contax G2 rangefinder and Kodak Portra 400NC for natural colours and open shadows. I always bump up the contrast and colour after scanning. Actually, it was a lot more nerdy and rubbish than this which is why I skip to the end. Caddy isn't an SG just yet, but watch out because I am convinced she will be soon.
To answer some opinions so far:

She has done waaaaay better. If she's that uncomfortable with her body, she shouldn't be taking naked pictures of herself. She's beautiful and sexy, she should SHOW IT!
Hahahaha. Really? You think I was "that" uncomfortable with my body? I have no idea why you think that. If I was uncomfortable with how I am or I didn't like this set I would never have sent it in, believe me.

Original idea, but a little bit confusing and messy.
Really? Sorry about that. Tried to make it as clear as possible. It's a girl walking around taking photos!

ps - Why the shit was this put up on Saturday?
C'mon now, homegirl deserves a better day than Saturday. Monday or bust.
Erm... yeah, I dunno. I heard that Saturdays were kind of pants for set views. Maybe they just wanted to finish photographers week off with the longest running photographer after Missy and Sean? BAM! (hahahah)
Besides, there are a lot of photographers that are hotter than me that deserved the other spots. I'm cool with it.
(four years this month as a photographer! in case you missed that previously, everyone)

I adore Holga photography! My boyfriend is a photographer and he brings that thing with him everywhere haha.
They really are the best little plastic cameras!
Nope, not dirty lenses. The idea for the set was to reflect the lo-fi quality that comes from a Holga. It is a plastic camera with plastic lenses and the quality is never 100% and the photos are always a little soft.

How come Canadian women are so damn beautiful?
That's a good question, and I completely agree. I'm English though. Haha.

imagine that, perfectly square pictured. Certainly not square content, however.
You get the award for cleaverest comment. Maybe!

Hahahaha. Not really, I was undressing at 5.30pm just behind a main street in Scotland's capital. I assume this is referring to the fact I leave some clothes on. Oh well check out my other sets!
Set Tags
They were all really good until just now then I simultaneously get:
"boring"
"ugly"
"really bad"
etc. etc. Now on my other sets I've got fat and chubby etc. I can see that, it's cool. I'm not a skinny girl for sure. But ugly? Really? I think yer a bit jealous.
I also got
"quit your day job"
That could go both ways, but even though photography is my day job I'm going to stay positive and guess this person thinks I should quit whatever else I do to do photography. So thanks!

I'll update this as I get more questions etc. I really appreciate how many of you are... well, appreciating this set.
Favourite pictures from my set are:

And don't get me started on your photography. Probably the only reason I would shoot a new set at this point is if I got to shoot with you.
and i don't care what you or anyone else says, you are one of the "hottest girl(s) on here physically"! seriously!
your latest set is spectacular, and i know comment count isn't so important, but it makes me sad you've been getting negative tags. i know they're inevitable, but they suck. i love how all the pics in your set were square. it really felt like i was flipping through physical photos, not internet code, you know? it's a very intimate and erotic set ... i love it
