San Miguel Day Four - October 16

Today's shoot is at a beautiful Hacienda about an hour's drive away. Here's a link to their website: http://www.haciendalastrancas.com.

Saw some of the same models. Saw Nico and Kimberly again to say hello to but did not get to work with them again. Today I shot with Rosie. We had two male models/dancers, Kalyana and Jose. When we first met with Kaly, Rosie asked him about his wardrobe. "Oh, I didn't bring much", he said, "because I was told this was a nude shoot". Oh, boy!  What are we going to do with this tall, thin, Norwegian looking dude in his undies?  Well, here's an idea!

OK. First of all, he does have clothes on. Just not a lot. The shot got a lot of giggles from the other participants at the next morning's critique session. The only criticism I remember from Joe was that I had lit the model's butt better than his face.

I made some other frames of Kaly as well. I think this one was pretty decent. For some reason I did not include it in the five shots we were to submit for the critique. 

Next was Jose, an older looking male "model". He was pretty non cooperative and had to be given a lot of direction. This is the best picture I got of him.  

We ended up having our "group dinner" at the hacienda. I have to say, most of the food I've had down here is markedly different than the TexMex stuff you get at home. Much lighter with fewer sauces. But the salsa that was on the table at the hotel restaurant was really spicy.
