Trystdom - STEVEN R. TABOR

Trystdom

Is variety a good thing?

I was working with a Canadian model, Tryst, for the first time last week, and had completed what I had planned with half of our scheduled shoot time remaining. Tryst is young, energetic and still quite experienced, so I thought I'd see what ideas she had for the balance of the time we had reserved for the shoot. I asked her to wander around the house and select a few places where she'd like to pose, and where we might find reasonable natural light. Ten minutes later she returned with a dozen different ideas, having quickly scouted interesting backdrops, good light and combined those with ideas for possible costumes and accessories.

I've entitled this series "Trystdom" because it was Tryst who transformed our house into her domain for this part of the photoshoot. Keeping up with her was a challenge, but a fun one at that. What follows is a selection from the various series that Tryst essentially made up on the spot.
