I had the honour and pleasure of working with Roxy Mendez for a shoot last Saturday at her home studio as arranged in conversations with Kacie James. Pre-shoot comms were easy, prompt and to the point and Roxy gave me 'several' different directions on the day of how to find her place! Ok, I got a little lost myself! I'd done a girl/girl shoot before, but not to erotic nude levels, but I knew working with two models well versed in the art and great friends, comfortable in the genre would more than compensate for any fault on my part and also make for a very relaxed working environment filled with natural chemistry between the two (I've now also worked with Kacie 3 times).
Roxy is a great model to work with; very relaxed, open to ideas and happy to repeat a pose or look when asked but needs little ditection in creating the look or pose in the first place. She makes for a great hostess when shooting at her home, welcoming me as if a long friend and even asking me the day before if I needed anything for lunch or drinks. She was also very helpful with lights set up and flash syncing when an unexpected hiccup arose.
Of the day, we had plenty of giggles, but the serious stuff was seriously awesome from both models. I look forward to working with Roxy again either as a duo with Kacie again or on her own and continuing with a lot of the ideas left on the table for another time.
