Hi Dulcea,
Thanks for the woodshed picture... you are as lovely as ever. As for shoot suggestions, might I suggest that you and your photographer endeavor to select settings that are a bit different from all the other sets/models out there? Not that I'd ever object to seeing you by the pool, or washing a sportscar, or sitting in front of your computer, etc... but all those have been done so many times already that they're practically cliches in the world of modern erotica.
I don't want you to get in trouble, but one place in LA that comes to mind immediately as an appealing backdrop for your wonderful curves is the Getty Center off of the 405. The impressive and angular architecture of Richard Meier, along with all the heavily textured stone surfaces would provide a dramatic contrast for your soft, feminine form. Of course, the Getty probably doesn't/wouldn't knowingly agree to host nude or even racy photoshoots (it's not like they need the money... the place cost 1.3 billion to build and they never bounced a check) but if you got there early after opening on a weekday when it's pretty empty (or on a drizzly day though we have so few of them in LA) you ought to be able to find enough privacy for some good material... the place is huge and the times I've visited, there always seems to have been some 'alone space' there. I even engaged in some playful activities with a skirt-clad girlfriend there some years ago... and there was just enough fear of getting caught to make it exciting, but not a major worry. You could shoot regular (fully clothed and polite) material in the central plaza and main gardens, and then wander off to the fringe buildings/gardens for more provocative shots. Of course your photographer should try to minimize his camera rig to approximate what an amateur might carry (nothing outlandish or excessive re: cameras, lights, etc...) so as not to attact any unwanted attention from security... just a guy taking some pictures of his pretty girl.... where's the harm in that?
There are also some practically totally deserted beaches just over the Ventura county line... only maybe 10 minutes north of El Matador/Pescador state beaches. I take my dog there (no dog beach in LA county) and on a weekday, I've often had the entire beach to myself... it's not just sand, but there are some very photogenic rocky areas complete with tide pools as well... and you'd be assured of almost total privacy, provided that you and your photographer don't mind hopping from boulder to boulder for a bit to make your way north.
Other LA settings that come to mind (using the same covert shooting strategy appropriate for the Getty) are the Huntington Gardens in San Marino (near Pasadena). These are some of the best botanical gardens in the country... they are amazingly lush, much like yourself! I'd also suggest maybe trying to get permission to shoot after/before hours in the lobby of the Bradbury Building in downtown LA (it's where parts of Blade Runner were filmed) and if it were possible, I think that you'd look great in front of some literary/technical backdrops such as library shelves (don't forget the cat-eye glasses! ...I'm not the only one around with a librarian fantasy) or equipment (not regular warehouse shelves with boxes but rather vintage electronica as can be found at salvage places in Pasadena, North Hollywood, Burbank, etc...) or an array of solar panels (hint, hint
), or stone slabs or power station gear (really anything that's both inorganic and non-traditional that would provide a good visual contrast for you in the foreground).
Hope some of these ideas provide inspiration... we'll look forward to more from you!
