Sirena landed in the art model community with a splash, dazzling the desert at workshops while vagabonding across the continent. I was excited to meet her, already being familiar with her work, and there was no warm-up time needed at all. For years I've resisted shooting the same concepts repeatedly but it's fascinating to see similarities and differences between models given the same framework. As the outdoor season in Oregon comes to a halting end, it was fun to have a great shoot and explore familiar territory with a new person who brought real joy and verve into the moment.
