Once Sahar got the photography bug, it was all over. She bought her new camera, signed up for a photoshop workshop and a beginner’s photo class, has accompanied me on a client session, and can talk about photography for hours. Which allows me to have great company these days. 
I am so excited for her and her new-found passion and I look forward to collaborating with her in the future on all sorts of projects. However, I hope that she doesn’t get too busy behind the camera because she is AWESOME in front of it.
Since all we do is talk about photo stuff when we get together, I thought it only appropriate to ask her to model for me so I could expand my film portfolio. My trip to the beach with Sahar was a little foreboding… it was dark and overcast as I schlepped my gear to the shoreline. But soon a bit of sunshine broke through the haze and we found ourselves in some pretty gorgeous light. And since Sahar is a natural in front of the camera, I took picture after picture… all of them gorgeous.
I’ll have the film developed in a couple weeks and will be sure to post some of those images as well. In the meantime here is Sahar… according to me and the Canon 5d.
Thank you, Sahar! I had a blast with you on the beach… can’t wait to see you master both sides of the lens!
