Many moons ago while I was doing a publicity shoot for a local horse show I met a photographer named Harry. Since that time I've done zillions of jobs for him. He likes me because I'm fairly tall and skinny and flat and available all summer. I mean available for photography shoots. Being fairly tall and skinny and flat are all big in modelling and his customers have been happy with the results so he keeps calling me. Harry lives on a very nice tract of land in Boxford about five miles from where I grew up and has a photo studio right on his own property and some garden areas and trees and a swimming pool which make nice locations for photo shoots.
Most people who read my stuff know about my best friend Michelle who works as a pastry chef in Salem. When I first started working for Harry I took Michelle with me every time I did a job for him. It's good form and even though he always had a make-up girl and a camera assistant and a lighting guy and his wife there, Chelle still came along to protect my virginity. Well, my modesty, anyway, my virginity having departed sometime earlier. But said departure is not what this story is about, it's about Chelle getting naked.
Harry is sixty-four now, I think, a large Santa Claus type guy, stout, with a gray beard and a shock of unruly hair. His wife is a very nice looking blond woman about twenty years younger than Harry, one of his former models, and they have a slightly older son and a daughter our age. They are kind of a hippy like family. He has nude photos of his wife hanging in his work place, something I don't think many men would do. His daughter appears at the swimming pool with no top on, which is something I wouldn't do at MY father's house except when my cousins visit from The Netherlands when we all go topless because Dutch girls do.
Anyway toplessness brings me to the point of the story. Harry has a lot of nude work in his portfolio and one day when he saw Michelle and I looking at some of them he asked her if she would pose nude for him, or as close to it as she felt comfy with. Likely his request stemmed from the fact that she has the biggest boobs of any girl we know. Naturally, everything would be done on the up and up, with model releases and chaperones and tasteful poses. She told him she'd think about it.
She and I discussed it between ourselves. Being a sensitive type she was kind of torn between the appeal of displaying her body to show herself as a sexual being and her natural shyness. It takes her a while to warm up to being nude with a new boy but she knows they enjoy her once she gets used to them and enjoys putting out once she's OK with it. She does have a really killer body and so it seemed like kind of a waste keeping it from the camera. Since she wasn't completely sure she decided she'd try a topless shoot first. So we made arrangements with Harry and a few days later we bicycled over there for what was Michelle's first ever real modeling job. For money anyway. She had allowed some of her boyfriends to take pictures of her.
Despite Harry being very nice she was very nervous, which anyone would probably be. The make-up girl did her face and fixed her hair and then Harry did a bunch of stuff first with her in clothes and then they graduated to bikinis to try to relax her. But I think all the suspense just made things worse. One of the problems was the witnesses, which in fact are absolutely necessary. Harry had one girl to do make-up and help him with the cameras and he also had his regular lighting man, Albert.
Albert was maybe nineteen at the time and he wasn't really a lighting man like in a professional studio, he was more of a handyman. For example when we arrived to do the shoot Albert was cutting Harry's lawn. He had a good deal there. We've had the same guys cutting our grass for years and as far as I know they haven't had any opportunities to see girls naked. At least I hope not since my sisters and I are the only girls that live there, except for Mom. Come to think of it Mom being Dutch and rather casual about that kind of thing they may very well have seen her naked. And her boobs are just as big as Chelle's.
Anyway I understood what Michelle's problem was being so shy about herself. Being naked, or at least bare breasted, in front of another girl and a man old enough to be your grandfather was one thing but having a guy there who was more or less your own age was another kettle of fish. He always made me nervous and he never saw me in anything less than my underwear. Showing him her bare tits was a big step for her. Harry had me break out some red wine to help relax her and after a half glass it did.
At any rate, they proceeded with the shoot and after a time got to some photos with Chelle in a thong bikini, which really set off her body. She's a tad thin for the size of the tits she has and has nice ass cheeks as well. In fact you could photograph her just for her bum. And being a tad short everything looks a little bigger in a photo. I think at that point with a little more wine and the natural effects of showing herself almost naked she started to get into it a little more and enjoyed the way the guys stared at her, especially her nearly bare ass. The bikini top covered her boobs pretty well but the thong bottom left little to the imagination.
Finally Harry wanted to try some tasteful photos of her naked to the waist. Because she had had a bikini top on they had to wait half an hour while the marks on her skin faded. Whenever I'm going to take my top off we always plan things to avoid that kind of wait but since it was her first time Harry took it step by step. The wait made Chelle nervous again so we resorted to still more wine. Finally Harry came over and very politely asked her to remove her cover-up so he could see her in just her thong bottom.
She was a little unnerved but dutifully she bared her boobs for him, knowing all the while Albert would see them too. Plus I knew for a fact she had never shown her boobs to an older man like that and she was more than a little embarrassed when the moment finally came. Showing a boy your own age your tits is something you relish, watching his eyes on them, wondering what it will feel like having his hands and his mouth on them, but showing herself to Harry she later told me was more like showing herself to my father. But after a bit of hesitation she was naked except for that little thong bottom.
"Splendid, just splendid," Harry intoned, in a kindly as opposed to a lecherous fashion. Her tits are really beautiful, nice and full and round and soft and snow white. I had seen them before, of course. When we were younger we used to compare tits all the time. Even before we had tits. Then almost month-by-month we'd watch them grow. Well, hers grew. For me comparing tits with her was nothing but an exercise in frustration. But I digress. Harry asked her to put her hands behind her head, which showed her boobs to full advantage. Of course her nipples were rock hard which I think embarrassed her even more because Harry could see how turned on she was. Then he asked her to spread her elbows back further which made her tits stick out even more. Awesome. I think that was the word Albert was silently searching for.
Harry never turned a hair. He's seen a lot of girl's tits in his time, at least from a modelling perspective. Anyway, he was satisfied, as any sensible guy would have been, and he said they could proceed. Michelle looked a little disconcerted when the make-up girl started putting blush on her tits but hey, in these photos who was going to be looking at her face? She also said she had ice cubes handy if Chelle should lose her nipple erection which, frankly, I thought unlikely.
Harry thought it would help real Chelle if I took over the primping from the make-up girl so I did. With her hands behind her head I brushed her hair back a little and lightly touched each boob. A bit of sweat gleamed from under each arm and at her belly button so I patted those dry. She winced just a bit as I went down below to take the glow off the thin fabric between her legs. I didn't have to touch her to know by this time she was well on her way to being fully lubed but I did. She was so wet I put a tissue in my hand and stuck it in between her bottoms and her snatch to clean her up a little, something no make-up girl could have done.
Meanwhile Harry feigned adjusting his camera and when I had gotten through with these delicate maneuvers had her put an open shirt on to do some peak-a-boob stuff, no nipples being visible. Then finally off came the shirt. He complimented her very sincerely on how nice her breasts looked and began taking pictures with gusto. I'm sure that's the way I'd want the photographer to feel if I was standing there almost naked.
Back to Albert the nineteen year-old light man. The shoot went well except that in addition to setting up and moving the lights a part of Albert's job was to stand next to Michelle with a light meter. Meanwhile Harry tried to get her positioned just the way he wanted her and fiddled with the camera and the barn doors on the lights and puffed on a cigarette and all this time Albert stood there holding the light meter about a quarter inch from Michelle's left nipple. Which, of course, is exactly what he was being paid to do. I did notice he also spent a certain amount of time eyeballing her tits but I ask you, where would we all be if guys didn't like to eyeball girl's tits? I went to dry her underarms again and by now could smell the musky odor of sex emanating from between her legs. Which meant Albert could smell it too.
