TWO IS COMPANY
There’s a first time for everything. I always shot this series with the focus on one model. Why not two? For Episode VII of The Shoot, I had the pleasure of working with Natasha Starr and Rebel Lynn. This was intended to be this way, and Highlark stylist Vanessa put together these looks courtesy of Kinky Girly. Natasha showed me what she had as far as footwear went, and she pulled these insane boots out and I didn’t have to look any further.
THE SHOOT
Eve from Melange NYC got to work on their makeup, who has been my go to girl for my shoots as of late. She is really easy to work with and gets what I want. I usually tell her “Just make them look pretty.” I’m not the makeup artist so why pretend right? The great thing about Eve is that she works fast, so we are never pressed for actual shooting time. She finished up Natasha first, so I decided to get some shots of her solo first.
We had two options of garter for her, both from Kinky Girly. We started with the strappy one in the bedroom. I brought my lights but we were getting some good sun so I had her stand by the window to start. Natasha is very statuesque and with those boots it really gave her this powerful and sexy vibe. I’m always amazed by how the girls walk in these insane heels, but I have the easy part of looking at it. I loved how the vinyl texture of the boots reflected a lot of the light.

We moved over to the living room and took some shots there, and the sun was very cooperative in here as well. Rebel was now ready, so instead of doing her solo shots first I decided to shoot them together just to make sure we catch all this good lighting. Their body type is different so I thought it was a great juxtaposition to have them side by side with mirroring poses as well as having them do different things.
For Rebel’s set I stayed in the chaise part of the couch utilizing her compact form and shooting her from a bunch of different angles. It’s was a different approach that still used the same space, but it allowed for various looks since the focus now was only on one model. Most of that nice streak of light covered Rebel’s figure and I was really happy with how the shots came out.

It was funny to see Natasha watch over this set with Rebel like a worried sister. She could have gotten dressed but she stuck around, so I asked her if she could assist me and had her hold the reflector. I told her how to hold it and she quickly saw the “science” behind it. She was really into the whole thing and was paying attention to things, not just holding it. She started directing Rebel with the poses, so I let her fly. Natasha was great at it; really stern and knew what she wanted but was also a cheerleader. There’s definitely a career in it for her!
My first double shoot was a lot of fun, and as always I have to thank a great team for making things go smoothly. Although Vanessa couldn’t make the shoot, she put together great looks for both the girls. Special thanks once again to Kinky Girly for sending us these sexy pieces!
