The shoot that I’d like to talk about is Samantha Drone it’s called “Party Girl.” It was a shoot that posted a week ago Monday. You know there are some shoots that are really easy to do and go smoothly. And then there’s some shoots that are so hard to do because you’re asking so much of the model.
aria giovanni images: old memories
This is going to be the beginning of a new feature here. I’m going to take the current set of images that’s being posted on Mystique-Magazine.com and discuss that shoot with you.

Then I want to give you my perspective on it.The thought process that went into the shoot, the story that I told to the model, and whatever it is (at least in my mind) that set that shoot apart. I want to try to give you a behind the scenes process of my mind and point of view.
