The Pink Bow Post - Sami

(Note: all images are the sole property of linifotto and may not be used without my permission. Thank you!  (c) 2011 August.)



If these pictures don't make you swoon, nothing will. There is definitely something about Sami and this  bow that is unforgettable.


Objective of this shoot:  Create a branding image for Linifotto, something unforgettable and clean.
(Piece of cake.)


Several months ago we shot Sami in her wedding gown. Afterwards we commented that nothing could top them. I was wrong.... See prior post.

But these sure do.

Sami is a wonderful model, she has a face that conjures stories never told, she can lower her eyes and suddenly you imagine events that led her to hold such emotion in her face. These expressions often take on a life of their own and suddenly we're acting out a vignette so subliminally told we don't even acknowledge it.

Now that I'm thinking about it --- it happens more than I realized. I never thought about this at length, which is another good reason to blog. It forces me to articulate stuff that escape conscious thought. I think many models actually do this, and that's an important ingredient to a good model. I'm not sure what comes first. The model intentionally 'acts' creating the mental imagery or if the results of a shoot make them realize they can do this. Or does the photographer actually drive this?  Hmmm, I guess I'm inspired to go in a certain direction based on the results.



Course Sami doesn't need a bow to be memorable.






Now, here is a very special slideshow - this is probably my favorite.
