I have had a long-time interest in photography from the day I was given an Agfa Clack camera as a present. As my skills improved, I graduated to 35mm SLR cameras and took many slides of wildflowers. It developed to the point where I had some special attachments custom-made for my hobby to develop. Sadly, in 1983, I lost my home along with all the slides and equipment in a huge wildfire. It took almost twenty years before I picked up another camera.
By that stage, photography had developed into the digital world, like many other things. For many years after that, I specialised in landscape panoramas and improved my skills in close-up work on the wildflowers concentrating on native orchids.
In recent times, I figured it was about time to start improving my skills in portraits. I offered to take portraits of people free of charge and also naughty images that the subjects would like to have taken. I offered to provide them with the raw images on the SD card, directly out of the camera, so I had no copy for myself apart from the artistic images I wanted to take as my challenge.
After a considerable wait, a woman contacted me. She and her daughter wanted some photos taken in various stages of dress. They also wanted some totally naked. The latter we were to discuss during the shoot. They were both apprehensive about the nude shoots and might change their minds on the day. I fully understood their point of view, and we agreed on a date and time. The location was to be the mother's house in one of the bayside beach suburbs southeast of Melbourne's central business district.
I arrived at the house at the appointed time, 10 am. The mother opened the door to me and invited me in.
"Hello, I'm Naomi," she introduced herself. "You must be Wolf."
"That I am. Good Morning, Naomi. Nice to finally meet you."
I placed my gear on the coffee table in the lounge and was given a tour of the house to select areas for the photos. It was a large house with an upper level containing the bedrooms, each with an ensuite and a separate larger bathroom. The ground level has a living area and a spare/guest room with its ensuite.
The bedrooms had large windows that allowed a lot of light into the room. The day was bright with a high-level cloud that gave a soft, even light and was perfect for the photos we had in mind. Seeing I did not have access to a studio for full control of the light and background, I had to make the best of this situation.
The mother was in her late fifties with auburn, shoulder-length hair, penetrating brown eyes, and very smooth skin. Without makeup, she had a very attractive face. She was about 170 cm in height, with a figure that was well-proportioned to her height. Her breasts, she told me later, were a "C" cup. In her jeans, her butt looked perfect and very photogenic as I followed her on the tour. She was wearing a light, yellow shirt and a suit that was a little darker than her hair.
"Do you like the view?" she asked as we approached the door to the first north-facing bedroom.
As she opened the door, we heard a loud, "Mum!" as the daughter was just exiting the ensuites stark naked. "I'm in here getting ready."
"Meet Jean," Naomi giggled. "Jean, meet Wolf." She giggled again.
"I see you are ready for the last few shots." I chucked at her. "We could start with those if you prefer. Very photogenic, I might add," I added.
Jean was in her late twenties. She had a great profile with the brightish light behind her and the cutest bumps in all the right places. Approximately the same height as her mother, but a little thinner, she had smaller breasts that were more cone-shaped with long nipples that were then erect. She had a cute, rounded butt.
"Let's head back downstairs and have a coffee while we wait for Jean to finish dressing," Naomi said as she turned towards the stairs.
While we waited, we began to discuss how we should proceed with the shoot. We agreed that the clothed photos would be done outside in the garden. As the clothing was reduced to underwear and possibly naked, we would go to the bedrooms. If curtains needed to be opened for extra light, the view was screened from the neighbours by the top of a large elm tree.
Jean came down with her lovely, soft, blonde hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a loose-fitting pink shirt and tight-fitting jeans. Even in the loose shirt, it was obvious she wore no bra, and she looked stunning.
"Ok. let's get started," I said as I walked out to the backyard. Nothing was said about the preview I had of her upstairs.
I directed Jean to sit on the swing that was dangling from a tree branch and sit slightly sideways. After a quick check of the light and fill flash, I started shooting. She turned to straddle the seat. Also, a shot in which she looked very sexy had one foot on the seat and her head back against the chain. As I moved around to shoot from various angles, I also managed to sneak a few shots of Naomi observing her daughter. Following that, I took a few shots of her leaning against the tree trunk in various poses.
"That's it, out here. Go change into something less, and I'll see you upstairs," I instructed. "Now it's your mother's turn."
Jean headed inside, and I took a similar series of photos of Naomi. With her, there were also a few of her sitting at the garden settee. I took those as she watched Jean heading inside. That done, we all adjourned upstairs.
"Naomi, you better lose some of your clothing for the next few shots," I told her as we ascended the stairs. "Have you decided yet how far you intend to take the photos?"
"I this point, I think I don't want to go completely naked," she replied, "but I may still change depending on how feel after the next few. Is that ok with you?"
"That's fine with me. It's entirely up to you how far you go. You can stop posing any time you wish. I certainly don't want you to be uncomfortable with any of this."
We entered the bedroom. Jean was in sheer black underwear, including a bra, now. Her hair over one shoulder standing just to one side of the window and observing something in the garden. I took a quick shot. She hadn't noticed me entering, so she was a little startled by the click of the camera and quickly took another of her expression. Having asked her to move in front of the window, we took a few silhouette shots at different angles. Also, various poses sitting and leaning on a chair. Then we took a few shots on the bed. Another angle from the balcony made for some artistic shots, also.
