I had such a great shoot with Playboy model Nadia Larysa this past friday.  She was as down to earth and as easy to work with as anyone I have ever photographed.  Nadia had a recently released Playboy "Lingerie" Edition come out and she will be in the spread for the Playboy "Girls of the LFL".  (Lingerie Football League)  Definitely check her out!

Nadia set up the shoot at her friend Ed's condo on the 47th floor on LaSalle street in downtown Chicago.  The place is under renovation but what an amazing place Ed has.  As he stated "its a bachelor's dream pad" and he was right.  Being able to overlook the city, seeing a little of Lake Michigan and looking straight down upon the Chicago River the view was breathtaking.

Also on hand at the shoot and taking "notes" was Chicago Sun Times "Quick Hits" columnist and good friend of mine and Nadia, Elliott Harris. 

Nadia was spectacular!  Being a seasoned model its always great to work with models who already know how to pose and what works and doesn't work for them.  She sure knew how to make my job easy and it shoed in her photos. 

She was a trooper and even did a few shots on the balcony in a winter jacket wearing JUST the jacket while the wind and snow blew straight into her face which made for some interesting photographs.

Some of Nadia's photos from the shoot are on both her and my Facebook pages and have already been displayed on www.ElliottHarris.com and will be soon on Nadia's new website. 

Nadia is now the third Playboy model who I have worked with, the other 2 being Playboy Cyber Girl Gina Grotjohn and Lauren Leigh.  Bring it on Playboy (or anyone else) , I'm ready for the job!
