Striking Athena: a model shoot in downtown Brookline, MA

Athena was a willing and very able model for a quick downtown Brookline photo shoot.

We ducked behind a back alley to find this great, steep, staircase and some interesting shadows.

And of course I wanted to highlight those brilliant red shoes. (What is it with awesome shoes that makes them so photographable?)

And here is where I think Athena’s posing talent takes the cake; I instructed her to make interesting shapes using the negative space around her body, and she gave me several great varieties!
