Usually, I’m puzzled when models ask me what I have in mind, so they know what to wear. Over time, I learned the best thing to say is how I like to shoot, and I even share links to my blog for them to see my previous work. The truth is that I don’t know what I want to do until I’m confronted with the task of taking their picture. These days, I feel that anything can happen unless I have total control of all the variables that involve working with a person in a public place. With that said, I was thrilled when Madeline asked me if she could bring her creative input to our third shoot!

As the person with the camera, it's my job to decide what goes on the frame. However, most people nowadays are empowered to say how they want to be seen, so not fighting it allows more than I could wish for! The subject is at ease and engaged in the process, ao I increase my chances to capture real expressions.

In the context of this photoshoot, Madiecat didn’t seem to mind being out in the cold weather, she was enjoying the beautiful sunlight shimmering on the frozen snow
