Sonia and I had been in contact earlier on about doing a shoot together, but it was only until today that the shoot happened.

Sonia’s also a friend of Emjoy, whom I had the pleasure of working with recently.

A quick learner, confident and fun to be around with, working with Sonia was such a blast! She also has a side that is truely unique to her, and I totally love the images that we jointly created. With an excellent styling on her part (textures, color themes and styles) that compliments and accentuates her strengths, the outcome of the images captured was just simply amazing.

Sonia also provided her reaction when I shared with her the images:

”

Madalina originally wrote me from One Model Place, but we ended connecting through Model Mayhem as well. Almost 3 months since we first discussed about a shoot, but it never did materialize given our schedule conflicts. Today, we finally get to shoot some swimwear that Madalina was thinking of using in her portfolio.

It was a blast for me as this new place we went today along Cabrillo Highway was such a gem. The entire beach area was sort of enclosed by the cliffs surrounding it, and best of all, it has a huge cove!! That’s like “heaven” in terms of choice locations!

Without saying, Madalina’s experience shines through today, and her reaction to my sharing with her the images just made my day:

”

I finally had the design completed, and am excited about it!

Johanna wrote me recently on MySpace about doing a shoot for an audition that she was applying.

Despite being her first photoshoot and being new to this, Johanna did extremely well and was a quick learner for sure. It was such a joy to work with her. I wish her the best in her audition and am glad to be part of her personal efforts.

Johanna provided her reaction after our shoot:

”
Hi William! It was such a treat working with YOU yesterday, especially for my 1st photo shoot ever!!! You pulled so many new things out of me and thanks to you, I no longer just have cheesey, smiling pics. LOL! You’re a Genius and you rock!!! I can’t wait for our next shoot! MUAH! ♥
