Those look great! How many times up and down did it take?

None.  The location is VERY low traffic.  When I shot the non-nudes, I did it 3 times and jammed out of there because I didn't want attention.  With Rachel, we discovered from the top floor that the elevator doesn't require us to hit any buttons.  So we stayed there.  I suspect we shot for 20 to 30 minutes before we left.

The security guard down in the control room must have been enjoying the video feed.

Congrats on finding a way to pull it off, literally and figuratively.

No cameras in the elevator and at the top floor, no cameras outside of the elevator.  We found them next to the stairs though.  This is a commuter parking structure. So in the evenings, it's virtually empty.  There were more cars than I expected, but not a single person walking through it the entire time we were there.  And since the elevator wasn't going up and down regularly, no attention to be drawn.  And, we figured if security was to come, they'd show up on the bottom floor and call the elevator down.  She'd have plenty of time to dress. And since it was topless only and clothing was never fully discarded, covering up and looking like we weren't doing anything would have been easy.

I have been as well for some time.  Wanted to shoot with her earlier in the year, but didn't know what I wanted to do with her.  When she came out last Nov, I had found this elevator and I knew she'd be perfect!

Great work but you are misleading us, it's topless...not nude! Nude is totally nude not partially nude damnit! LOL

I'll work up to that next time.

Loving number 9 and 75. Well done! Wish we had places here we could do that with!

Judging by the photo views on Pbase, others agree with you.

I'm horrible at selecting just a few images...I have probably another 5-8 images I want to put up. 


Probably half of those are non-nude/topless.

I love her face.  She emotes well.

Very true. You've got some great shots in there, but she really adds to them.

Nice work.

Great images - and you chose a teriffic model. The whole series looks unscripted.

The next time, how about you shooting her from ground level with the elevator a one of the low floors?

Do you mean like this?



this is from the lowest floor that isn't surrounded by concrete.

Well, I was thinking of nudes, but that's a good start.  Good luck with this, although I don't think you're going to need luck.

I mean, as far as the elevator floor.   I probably should have with Rachel.  Made one or two up and down trips.
