Shoot snakes not eat snake


Going to do a TFCD with an Aussie girl next Friday afternoon.

Didn't expect that she told me she was a zoo keeper and she would be bringing snakes to my home studio to pose for the shoot.

My initial answer to her was a bit guarded. Anyone has done this before?

This is her at work:

She might like your trouser snake also !!! :cool:
 

Here arethe photo shot today.

We shot the model and the snake for half and hour before it got restless and cranky. The model put it back the bag and I had the heater on keeping it warm and cozy. We took it out for a short 10 minutes shoot again before resting it for the day.

It eats a rat every two weeks. The rats are from a supplier as rats caught in the wild may contain toxics.

How would you describe the type of expression on the model's face?
 

上得山多终遇蛇.

Up mountain is see tiger. Should be
Down many valleys sure see snake.
 

Well observed. Got valley among two mountains. :bsmilie:

Also a valley with dense growth and a little stream.
 

you may wish for the model to powder her forehead (even talcum powder also can)
she is getting burnout from oily forehead
