So here's an interesting quandary: If you fancy yourself an aspiring photographer, and you come upon an opportunity to shoot with a playboy model, do you take it? Well, that part's the easy part. Of course you do. The quandary being on short notice with limited space, where and what do you shoot?

I'm currently waiting to hear back from Titania on the specifics of her rates, including the fact that I live in the sticks. Anything less than ridiculous, and I'm making the booking, I just need to put my mind to the grindstone until something good comes out. As far as locations, I'm pretty much limited to outdoors spots as I don't have a studio yet. What I do have access to is woods and field. Unfortunately, nothing's green yet, and I don't suppose that's going to change in the next week and a half.

So that sends me back to the idea panel. Right now I'm leaning towards artistic nude on black and white 35mm film forced fit into a 120 camera. It's an effect that I love, and I think it'll add something unique to her already large portfolio, as well as allowing my first real foray into working with a nude model to be a style that I'm already familiar and comfortable with. And, even if the trees stay void of color, it won't matter.

Examples of the style:
