Kyrgyz Girls Photo Shoot

During my MBA this past year Aidai and I became quite close friends. So when she asked me to do a photo shoot of her and her friends I immediately responded ‘no’. But, her, being the elegant and sophisticated lady she is not, pestered and physically abused me until I reluctantly complied. Fortunately, I was able to tollerate the affliction until the leaves reached their fullest saturation and we finally set out to the Seoul Forest on a perfect Sunday afternoon. Perfect, minus the major wind that sent my softboxes flying and dented my speedlights. But the trees were beautiful, and Aidai’s two good friends were their normal lovely company.

Let me introduce the three Kyrgyz princesses: Aidai, Lily, and Aijan. Aidai is with the short hair, Lily in the cute dress, and Aijan with the mischievous smile.

Accidental nice shot:
