Honestly ? The best model I've ever seen in your shots....better lock her up in the cellar, she's got natural beauty. :)

2nd shot is fantastic. Looks like a playful model that would get into the spirit of the session.

She looks like "a natural" to me Gabe, seems very comfortable with the camera...I like her smile and eyes in your first shot, she seems to have a bit of a mischievious nature in that one! :-)>

Me thinks this is the forums lovely Caledonia.....am I wrong? She's quite beautiful whomever she is......

I was thinking of the exact same thing, Mich. But I wasn't brave enough to say it... (*

Please don't keep me in the cellar!!! Mich and Star you are correct in your guesses. Thanks guys, you made me blush.

So I was right about that mischevious nature! C'mon, let her out of the cellar now! Cal's way too georgeous to hide away! ;-)>

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!! hahahahaha... Very very beautiful. 'Nuff said. :-) (*

Gabe, you dirty rat !!

Well, at least it was sincere ;)

I have known Catherine or (Caladonia) for way many years & have shot her casualy over those years a few times, but We never did anything quite like this. I think it's funny, because I want to redo these with the right make up and her bagpipes. All we had was a basic stage make up kit that did not have her acual skin tone, no lipsticks, one dry eye liner, old blush that was clumpy & neither of us really sure on how to use or aply it... As for her being a natural, Catherine has always been amazing at comunication through her eyes, I remember when I used to go to her parents house, and she would have a complete conversation with her 2 sisters with out even one word being used. That used to freak me out. But it is amazing how some one can speak in silance. My 2 favorate are the first and last shots. The entire shoot was done in my living room with 3 cheepy Smith victor lights, and a black cloth backdrop. So when we are all in NYC for the show, I may atart trying to get some of the other forum members in a make shift studio, and seeing if we can't get some really good shots for a forum member portrait section. What do you all think? -GABE-

Beautiful shots, both of you!

That sounds kewl! (But I'm kinda miffed because I can't afford to go to NYC and see this whole thing happen if it does.) (*

Hay star, were do you live?

On the other side of the globe actually... :-/ sigh why do I keep putting off that lottery thing? LMAO... X-D (*

Great photographs... #1 and #2 my favourites! Beautiful model dude, but damn Im jealous! Better post thepics from the convention sharpish when you get them! And if Jordy ever comes back online (Should be soon btw all) Maybe us Brits can get together and do a shoot ;) Now THAT would be cool xXxXx

I second cat let us Brits get together

Yeah...and I'll just stand in the corner with a cable release and shoot shots of myself all on my lonesome...BOOHOOHOOHOO!!! (anyone feeling sorry for me yet?) As Cam rides off into the distance in far-away Australia softly singing through the tears..."Don't want to be...All By Myself...Dont wanna be ALL BY MYSELF, anymore...")
Hehehehehe
;-)>

I can't add anything else, but they really were a "must see". Stunning!

I'll slump back into my corner... being the only canuck... lest y'all wanna come up and party at my place... Jovan? Whaddya say....

Great portrait shots Gabe and with so little equipment ! If I had formed a picture of Caledonia it certainly wasnt this one. Got to vote #2 my fav. just love the lighting and the pose. Getting the UK together might be fun :O) But feeling a bit sad for PC all alone down there, but I wont miss any more shots of him, LOL, gave me a right fright the last one ROTFLMHO :O)

Very Nice! What a beautiful lady you are Cal. And what a fine job you have done here Gabe. My only suggestion would be to keep the house a little warmer. Poor Cal has goose bumps all over in those first two shots ;-) BTW... Simple lighting set ups still seem to me to usually produce the best results

oh yeah, i forgot, aside from the wierd bloody gash on the last shot, Cal is a hottie, heh heh. ...well she is

Great shots!! My Fav is #1 just love that look. Cal is a great model, lots of expression and very beautiful to boot.
