Jersey City stroll with Marisol Sollyluna

Marisol, being a flight attendant, it is almost always a random “meet and shoot” with her. Never more than a week’s notice and sometimes as little as 12 hours. One thing for sure, when I get that DM (direct message via Instagram) from her, I always jump to the opportunity to create with her. I think we have good work chemistry. She may be the closest thing that can be compared to be considered a Muse.

Marisol is a nudist at heart. She understands that a woman’s body is one of God’s Greatest Works Of Art, but I enjoy having her dress up and show the fashionable side of her which most photographers seem to overlook. She’s an amazing model with an amazing sense of style.

This shoot was shot in Jersey City by the Hudson River which separates us from Lower Manhattan. It was extremely cold, but oh so beautiful. She left an important part of the original outfit so she quickly put together one that I was satisfied with. Not only satisfied, but I was impressed. See the video below for details about the outfit change.

Behind the look

She left an important piece of the original outfit at home — but what she pulled together on the spot was better than planned. Watch the story in her own words.

By the river

The cold was relentless, but the light off the Hudson was worth every shiver. Manhattan glittered across the water while Marisol worked the waterfront like it was built for her.

The full look

Winter light has a particular quality — flat and honest — and it served every angle. The improvised outfit held up better than anyone expected.
