I’ve known of Regina Piil as a photo model pretty much from the time I started working with professional models. I was always impressed with her work and actually felt a little intimidated by her when I first started working with photographing models, so we never worked together before.
When I started looking for models for sketching, her name showed up in some of my searches for models, so I decided to take a chance that she might be interested.
Happily, she was and already after our first session I’m glad that I did not let my fear stop me from reaching out. She’s a lovely person and easy to work with. I look forward to many sessions to come.

Preparation sketches from photo references
When I work with professional photo models, I like to prepare in advance by sketching from photos in their portfolio. Since I know I’ll only have a limited time to work with them, this helps me to familiarize myself with their proportions.
Plus, I can do analysis by comparing my sketch to the photo reference, which helps me see (and, hopefully, eventually correct) my most common mistakes.
