A beautiful house, a white shirt and my neighbor

Posted by: Wil Fernandez    Tags:      Posted date:  November 19, 2009  |  5 Comments



When I moved out to California and was apartment hunting, I met Nikolette Noel and her mother over some cookies in the leasing office of the building that we would end up occupying. Nikolette was a student at a nearby university and we wound up staying in touch after we both moved.  Of course the thought photographing her was on my mind from that first plate of cookies, but I’m usually not one to impose without getting to know someone first.

As it turns out, Nikolette Noel began building her portfolio (as almost everyone seems to do here in Los Angeles) after graduation and we began to discuss getting together. After several months of back and forth, we finally found some time to see what we could pull off. I called in a favor with a friend that lives in a beautiful house in Redondo Beach, California and asked Nikolette to bring a white collared, button-down shirt. The result…

    Is she laying on a wood floor?… They are good photos. She doesn’t look relaxed though. She needs to get used to being in front of the camera

    the colors are wonderful. somewhere between real and surreal.

    great stuff, man.

    Pete – she was laying on the dining room table and yes, I would agree, it takes some time to warm up to being the focus of attention. I still hate being in front of the camera.

    Nice Shots Wil! The white shirt, the light, the girl, and the environment all go together very nicely!
