Today we take a look back to 2005 and one of the 12 models we shot for our 2006 Down Shift Bikini Calendar; the lovely, smart, talented and very Russian Michaela Dostova.
Model Michaela Dostova taught us all some Russian while working on a great bikini shoot in downtown Tampa (1920x1200)
The Summer and Fall of 2005 was an interesting time for us in the Down Shift Club House…we embarked on our first and only bikini calendar to date which served as a reunion of sorts with many of the models we had worked with previously and loved working with. Michaela’s shoot was awesome, no problems, no unexpected shooting hiccups and perfect weather on a quiet Saturday afternoon in downtown Tampa. Photographers Michael Coates and Patrick Dean worked in tandem, grabbing many terrific photo’s of Michaela set against the Tampa skyline…only (5) are featured here today. More to come at a later date!
