Recently, I was lucky enough to spend 3 days photographing Megg Morales, who was on cycle 7 of America’s Next Top Model. She is very sweet, loves rock and roll… and she’s one hell of a model. You would think that all you’d have to do is point the camera at her and press the button. While that’s almost true, it’s still a lot of hard work and at times very stressful. If you’ve seen an episode of The Shot on VH1, that’s exactly what it’s like. This afternoon we had 1.5 hours in the dunes with 2 models. In teams of three, 2 people assisted while the third was shooting. As a team, we got 45 minutes with each model, which meant I got 15 minutes with Megg. So I thought for a moment and asked her to sit down at the very edge of the dune and play with the sand. The late afternoon sun was hitting her just right and when I asked her to throw the sand in the air, I saw something happen. We did this over and over and I was getting 3-4 shots off with each throw. There are some other good ones, but this is my favorite. I was about 15 feet below here and maybe 35 feet away, at the bottom of the dune.
