Laurel
in b&w
It’s pin up week and here is my friend Laurel from Tucson, Arizona. We did a late afternoon shoot last September, and this one was pretty much a throw away picture in it’s raw form, but I loved Laurel’s expression so turning it into a vignette kinda shot really made this one awesome!! I have had Laurel’s lost files here on my desktop for months and finally found them, so I’ll be getting some of her great pictures up for you all to see this week!!! Enjoy and more to come.

My immediate reaction was to think of the gangster’s moll from film noir movies of the late 40′s-early 50′s.
By the way, how can you call a shot like that a throw away?
HAAA! It was only a throw away because it had an awful background!!! We were in a park leaning against a tree and everything but laurels CU were good about the picture!!!
sorry that didn’t make sense,,, Everything was bad about the picture except laurels Close up!!
Great pic, change it to black and white and it would have a film noir feel to it.
I did both,, I’ll post the B&W for you
Thanks John, that really looks great.
I’m loving pin-up week so far.
Another great shot. It looks very natural, like you two were sitting and having a conversation and you snapped a picture. Great stuff. 
Laurel has a very candid confident style to her work and attitude!!! She is very unique!!
Very Classy feel to these John. Nice.
Thanks!!!!
Nice shots, especially the B&W. Casual, comfortable, alluring…she says a lot without effort.
Thanks D!!! she does awesome work!
Good Heavens! Laurel’s expression made me weak in the knees. Good thing I was sitting down or I might well have fallen over. How can you call this photo a “throwaway?” Catching a look like that, so natural and (dare I say it) inviting is a one in a million shot! You give yourself too little credit, John. And to Laurel, let me just say “Wow!”
Thanks Buckarooooooo!!!!! the background was junk so Laurels Close up solo made the picture nice!!
Ah, so you’re saying you saw the beauty of the photo despite its original, unsatisfactory background. I guess that shows just how good an eye you have for this sort of thing. Excellent!
Hi John:
That black and white image is stunning! Thanks for posting these.
Best regards,
Richard
Thanks Richard!!! I like both and haven’t picked a fav yet
What a great face, such lovely character, eh. Nice shot too, bud. Great capturing her!
I’d like to capture her. Wait, I’m married. Well, in my single days anywho.
peace | deg
Reading some of the other comments it sounds like the background didn’t turn out so great, but that’s alright because Miss Laurel Rae does not disappoint in the least bit! Beautiful!
yayy I love that you found my pics!
I love this one too! You should come back to Tucson again lol
