Last time I was in LA I was hanging out at the Roosevelt hotel and I ended up in a car on the way to some after party with a bunch of people. I was wedged in the back with a bunch of musical equipment and this girl named Nicole. I had taken a picture of her playing Jenga (that eventually ended up in Vice) but I didn’t really talk to her until we got into the car. She was insanely pretty and everyone kept hitting on her all night. The after party was mostly dudes so she was getting it from all sides. I thought the whole thing was pretty funny actually.
I just receieved an iPad for Christmas so I was really into showing people my photos on it and I know she looked at them. She seemed a tiny bit up tight when I first met her but she didn’t seem offended by some of my more fucked up images. But even after that I didn’t think in a million years she would ever want to shoot with me.
At some point in the night we started talking about Twitter and she told me she was an amazing Tweeter and that I should follow her. I just followed her while we were sitting there with the assumption that I would just unfollow her in a few days, but for whatever reason I never did. I left the party assuming I would never see her again.
A few weeks later I heard from her again on the Twitters and she sugested that we should take photos the next time I was in LA. I didn’t really take her seriously but as we got closer to my LA trip she seemed pretty serious about it even though she told me she had never taken nude photos before.
When we finally met up she came over to the place I am staying and pretty much instantly got naked trying on different outfits for me. For someone who has never done nude modeling and not much clothed modleing she was super comfortable infront of the camera and even more comfortable being naked. For someone who shoots a lot of first time models that was really impressive to me. She was one of the easiest people to shoot I have ever shot and later in the day we took some crazy pictures around LA including a really great polaroid that I will scan for you guys when I get back to NYC.
Anyway, I love this set. Nicole is totally museworthy and inspiring and I am sure I will get to take some more photos of her before I leave town. But you really need to check out these photos because this is my favorite NSFW set I have shot in ages and I hope you guys like it as much as I do.
