Four hours with a professional nude model

Let me first say that I have the most wonderful and understanding wife in the world.

Now...Katlyn Lacoste is a young woman who is an excellent artist, but has also found a way to make a living as a nude model for photographers, sculptors and illustrators all over the U.S.  Check out her site here and you can see she's been all over the place and contributed to some very cool work.

I think that's the very definition of "Chutzpah"!  She is a free spirit and a lot of fun.

Katlyn's got to pay the bills with this, so it's not cheap.  I wanted to get the most out of my time with her, and I did a lot of pre-planning to create as many photos as possible in the four hours we had set aside.  My good friend Ric Wilson helped with her hair and makeup, and friends with a wonderful house they let me use it as a location (and modeled as well).

I used to assist at Playboy Magazine in L.A. in 1981-82, so I've been around a lot of naked women in photography situations.  The first minute or so is a bit odd, but then you remember Katlyn's line, "it's just a body, it's not sex".

Here are some of the photos we created:
