Way back in late 2007 an east coast model who I have been admiring and in contact with for a couple years was coming to the area, so we set up a time to do some shooting in my little scrappy home studio at the time. We started with some wild sexy rocker chic stuff then went into some art nude ideas, something she was not known for at the time but she did very well with posing and emotion. This is on tiny example of what we did and this surprised many in her fan base that she can do art nudes so beautifully. I mean heck, she had the figure to do whatever she wants. Kerri is intimidating in her aura as she carries herself in model mode when she is dressed up yet striking in gorgeousness to the point where I was a bit nervous when she met me at my front door, I'll be honest in my recollection. I literally felt out of her league as I did when I first met and shot with Carlotta Champaign. Kerri was/is at that level to me. Once we made our introductions and discussed what to do, nerves went away for the most part until she came out in her first creation of a daring outfit. I don't get completely stunned often during shoots but this was a moment I'll never forget, even my housemate caught a glimpse of and tuned to me with a "you're photographing That? " look... Once we stepped into the garage/studio everything settled and then we got into the creative flow. After a couple costume changes or variations and a break we went into full art nude mode and the rest is history including this image here where I wanted the light to gently fall across her amazing form. Back then all I had digitally reliable and versatile was my Nikon D100. Since I went mostly digital, film is usually not a consideration for a first time photoshoots. Kerri is still modeling and when I can I have hopes to reconnecting with her again after 18.5 years... That would be a special homecoming and definitely an emotional one for me after the results and good time we had that day back in 2007.
