Hello, Mr. President...

Posted by Janine Kelly (kitchener, Canada) on 26 June 2009 in People & Portrait.

a bit of a story behind this series.
the make-up artist was chatting to the model, helping me with composition, and expression, when she came up with the idea that we could pretend the "conversation" the model was having on the phone was with "Mr. President". it was a bit of a cold day and she was trying to lighten the mood after a long day of shooting.
so i am going to use some of the lines she would say to the model as my titles.
we had a great time. couldn't get the model to stop laughing most of the time. just three girls having fun and making pictures one april afternoon.
i hope it translates.

...and thanks again for taking the time to check out my blog, i am just a girl with a camera, having fun. dont take me to seriously...cause i most certainly dont :)

Great concept, great looking model, great pose, distracting background. Fun stuff.

@Anthony Thomason: Thanks Anthony. Yes i agree the background is not the best.

Beautiful model and she came up with a very good idea. I think the expression is a lot more natural when you act it out instead of sitting there frozen and pretending!
