But, we were able to shoot with her on two different shoots since she had the figure, and the legs, for it.

I honestly go back and forth, and I may remove them completely before larger versions are uploaded to my portfolio. What do you guys think? The final version of this shot will be different; different wardrobe, different pose I believe, and different editing. But, this version is my favorite.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-1075 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnremus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/IMG_9636-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My other shoot with Melissa was on the beach &#8211; this was actually my first shoot with her.<br \/>\nThis concept was simple: Let&#8217;s take a girl with a great figure, a vehicle that screams &#8220;Beach!&#8221; and do a sunset\/surf theme. I felt terrible for Melissa though, we basically said &#8220;here, hold this board for the sunset&#8221;. I&#8217;m sure it had to be tiring after a while. And as always, we gathered a crowd pretty quickly. And that Woodie is a &#8217;47 Buick Estate Wagon &#8211; a very rare classic.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the colors and pose of this a lot, but we wanted to try something different too. I thought of a pose I shot of a girl I dated a while back (no joke) and figured we&#8217;d emulate that style shot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-673 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnremus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/melbeach_650n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"341\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Again, Melissa has an incredible figure and we wanted to take advantage of her silhouette. Yes, she has her bikini on. No, she is not naked. And, No, I didn&#8217;t enhance any part of her.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-766 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnremus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/JR3_1598.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s me (far left) and Melissa (center) and the rest of the team after the Ferrari shoot.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa was a great model to work with, and hopefully when our schedules match up again at some point we&#8217;ll be able to do a shoot again.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be doing another update here in a couple days. I know I promised Lana&#8217;s shoot was coming soon, but I might share Suzy&#8217;s or Jenny&#8217;s first. Lana&#8217;s shoot went great, I&#8217;ll be honest, but I want to further edit her shoot and Crystal&#8217;s before sharing those here.<\/p>\n<p>Good night all!<br \/>\nSee you Thursday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this calendar preview I want to introduce the stunning Melissa Miko &#8211; or in this image&#8230; her legs.
