I met Judith Aldama briefly before our shoot at Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta. That meeting allowed us to break the ice and to discuss what we wanted to accomplish. Through my discussions and work with Judith, I know that she is extremely focused on her modeling career. She is an extremely determined, passionate, and creative individual and model.
On Friday, 27 July 2007, a hot day with the temperature at 32C (90F), we arrived at Heritage Park for our shoot. We found our first location, and then discussed the general sequence of shots. We began with three quarter length shots and ended with close-ups. Judith moved effortlessly and gracefully through a variety of poses.
Throughout the shoot, I found it extremely easy to work with and photograph Judith because I did not have to provide direction. She instinctively knew what to do. She is able work quickly and efficiently. In every manner, she is a complete professional.
Heritage Park itself is a fantastic location for amateur photographers. There are lots of buildings and props to work with. Our only challenge was a lack of time. We were in the park for slightly less than two hours, when we could have spent much longer. As we were walking back to the vehicle, we were both pointing to each other saying, "That would be a great location for some shots." If you do decide to go to Heritage Park for photography, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time.
If you require a model, I highly recommend Judith—I give her the highest praise. As mentioned, she is determined, passionate, and creative. In addition to her passion for modeling, she has the same intense passion for fitness. When I was with her, I could tell that modeling courses through her veins. Moreover, she is friendly and outgoing. You can read more about her One Model Place or preferably Model Mayhem. I am positive that if you work with Judith, you will enjoy the experience and will create extraordinary images.
