Eva K:
Too Young for Nudes

Here are some shots from 3 sessions with Eva Koslowski of Rochester, NY, taken in 1974 and 1975. She was attending modeling school and needed photographs to show agency representatives. I met her parents, and still have one of the offspring of a spider plant that her father gave me.

While she was 17, I did some studio work with her as well as outdoor work. I even did one roll of the traditional swimsuit shots for a model's portfolio, to show her figure. She apparently got some assignments as a runway model at trade shows, like car and boat shows, wearing a sparkling evening gown and pointing at the chrome features.

One of these was taken on her 18th birthday, and they were the most revealing shots we had done so far - wearing a halter-top in a park. I had closed my photography business by then, and she had quit modeling school for beautician school, but she wanted one last set, in case she decided to try modeling again some day.

I shot the first roll as Ektachrome slides, fully clothed with the white fish-net shawl for a prop. The second roll was black&white, all in the flesh-colored tank-top. For the life of me, I can't remember why we didn't do anything with the shawl and the halter-top to make some faux nudes.
