I Had Never Seen Stretch Marks Like Hers — Part II
Bare Model Feature
That day the sun decided to shine over Los Angeles for the entirety of our shoot and it turned capturing her stretch marks, also known as her tiger stripes, into pure art.
The image below unfolded naturally for both of us. I told Bare Model Bianca, “I want you to feel sensual, embody your curves, your beauty, and feel something real,” and she delivered effortlessly.
One of my favorite shots was of her standing as her left thigh curved into the frame at a soft diagonal, creating a beautiful angle that opened the eye to her stunning hips. The smooth arc of her derriere, skin, and texture paired with her bare upper body added a sense of quiet allure and unposed honesty that captivated me. It was a moment I couldn’t look away from.
The images that follow were taken as I told her to be in the moment. I said, “Don’t pose, just flow with your body and your sensuality.” I especially love how the sunlight reflected on the shower door and against her thighs, creating a beautiful atmosphere that day.
Right before we ended this scene, I saw her standing still and I quickly toggled my settings and snapped this image of her. The stillness in this frame, combined with her body and the natural light, brings me back to 35mm film and cinema. It truly feels like a movie shot captured in one still.
