Mara

I first photographed Mara back in 2017. We'd stayed in touch over the years, but neither of us could believe how much time had passed.

I created a mood board for the session, and Mara had selected a few looks she was interested in exploring. She brought an oversized sweater that worked beautifully off the shoulder. She also paired a black blazer over a bra with matching slacks, creating a confident, sophisticated look with just a hint of allure.

For the final look, I unrolled white seamless, created mock bedding, and projected a soft window shadow for depth. She changed into an oversized boyfriend shirt with dark undergarments for contrast. She had a lot of fun with this one. I worked from the floor to get the composition right, and we created some beautiful intimate portraits.
