Finally I could edit the set with Heidi and Nici, which I photographed during a coaching with Rob.

Girl-Girl shoots are always very challenging. First of all it's difficult to light both models equally good. After that, it's important to create some authentic interaction. As this is quite an erotic scene, it's not easy for the girls as well, not even for professional and experienced models.

A problem which I discovered in another girl-girl coaching is, that photographers try to tell a big story. This is basically a good idea, but in such a complex situation, the story can lead to very different photography situations which will destroy the set. In our case we showcase just a short moment of a story and leave it up to the viewer to complete it. So instead of giving lots of freedom and creating a "playground" we reduced the scenery for the models to concentrate on light, composition and interaction.

Light conditions were quite challenging on that day. Wasn't to bright and the the fact, that I worked with apertures up to f4, made it even more difficult. I was quite happy about image stabilized lens from Tamron on that day.

When you were starting out how did you manage with a small budget? How do you find shooting locations?

Hey Keith, I was looking for hotel rooms or airbnb's. Sometimes I even asked if they'd give a discount if I use the room just to shoot and not for staying overnight. And I asked my friends from who I knew they were living in nice places if I could shoot at them. But yes, finding a good location was always quite challenging.
