Beauty Shot by Ingrid Werthman

After visiting my storage space in SF back in April, I found a random folder with old photos from my early modeling days. This one was from a test shoot I did with local MN photographer Ingrid Werthmann where her concept was the 5 elements (Air/Water/Earth/Fire/Wind). I'm representing "Earth" here and back when this was taken (6 years ago), I didn't particularly like this photo. But looking at it now, I don't mind it so much. I can hardly recognize myself, but I suppose that's what was so fun about modeling and photography. Below is another photo shoot I had done with her for a now defunct local magazine called Industry taken from her website. Last summer I ran into her at the Acadia Cafe as she was serving that evening and she remembered me after not seeing me for over 5 years. What a doll she is!
