With a heave, I got the final bag of camera equipment up on the rickety table they had provided me with. Outside, the sky was dark and full of stars, and my wrist watch confirmed the time, after eleven in the evening. The building should be empty of all but Erica and me, and even if there were still any stragglers, I had a good half-hour before I would be ready to start shooting. Erica was still in the changing room, probably touching up her make-up or something. She would not have to spend time getting dressed, after all.
The lights came first, a selection of powerful lamps with diffusors. I had called in a favor from a fellow photographer and borrowed some extra big lamps, since I do my work mostly in my smaller studio or outdoor with ambient light. The lights were really nice ones, and I took note of the brand, figuring they would be a good addition to my growing collection of equipment. With virtually no restraints on my ability to get money, the cost would not be an issue, not that my bank accounts were anywhere near empty in any event.
When my special ability had first manifested, I briefly considered just going all out and becoming a millionaire, but I quickly decided against it, opting for relative anonymity and subsequent freedom from any spotlight but my own. After all, with so many pretty women all around, I wanted to be free to do as I pleased without anyone taking note.
'Hey, are you done setting up yet?'
I turned to the sweet voice and saw Erica stroll towards me from the door to the changing rooms. She was twenty-one, according to my information from the gymnastics team. Her body was still covered in a cozy dressing robe, but the head atop the voluminous robe was a very good start. Bright red curls to just below her ears framed a pretty face bordering on beautiful. What intrigued me most was the obvious glint of intelligence in her green eyes, and the wide smile she gave me. Erica was supremely photogenic, and it was almost a shame the shoot would be mostly focused on her body.
'Hey there,' I replied with a bright smile. 'I'm almost finished, just figuring out the light and then we can get started. Do you need to warm up or anything?'
'Nah, I'm good,' she said with another smile. 'I did some stretching in the sauna. I'm all good to go.'
'Great,' I said, 'Why don't you drop the robe and go over to the trampoline, I need to do some light readings to adjust the intensity of the lamps before we begin.'
'Sure,' she said flippantly and casually let the robe drop to the floor in a pile.
Her body did in no way put her face to shame. Smooth skin without any blemishes or marks and an obviously fit body. She was more powerful than Amy, though still very feminine. Smoothly muscled, she was still soft and round in all the right places, and her breasts were full, probably a c-cup, which was unusual for athletes at that level. Not that I was complaining. Not at all.
'Don't you need some kind of meter or something to do the light reading,' she asked me with a smirk as I ogled her sexy body. She did not appear neither displeased nor embarrassed that I had been staring. If anything, I thought she enjoyed it.
'Uhmm,' I stammered intelligently. 'Yeah, sure, you're right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare, exactly. You're just gorgeous, and I got caught up in the moment.'
'Why, thank you,' she said sweetly and walked past me towards the trampoline. Her ass swayed way more than it needed to, and I was sure she knew I was watching. She was putting on a show for me.
'Is this good?' Erica did a small jump and spin beside the trampoline, her full breasts bouncing nicely.
'Yep, that's just great,' I said as I walked up to her, photometer in hand. 'Just stand still and I'll check the levels. You have quite fair skin, so I need to make sure the pictures don't get over exposed.'
I pointed the meter at her body, making sure I did not block any of the various lights I had positioned around the trampoline. On closer inspection, I saw the slight sheen of sweat her trip to the sauna had made. Her skin was almost glowing, and smooth muscles rippled as she shifted. This close to her, I could note all the interesting details about her body. The way her clavicles made small ridges across the top of her chest, the smooth swell of her full breasts, and not to forget, the way her darker areolas had bunched up in ridges around her small nipples. Rock hard nipples, by the way.
There was not a hint of any tan lines, not that I expected it, with skin this fair. With the precious few warm days yet this spring, I suspected she had not taken the time to sun bathe very much. Especially with the upcoming championship.
I got down on one knee and measured against her thigh. It was strictly speaking not needed, something I suspected she might know, but I wanted the excuse to study the details of her body a little more. I could always make her do whatever I wanted in any event, but sometimes it was fun to see how far I could go without any suggestions.
Her thighs were more muscular than her upper body, which made sense, given her choice of apparatus. Jumping and running required strong legs, though she was by no means unbalanced. Erica stood with her side towards me, not from any modesty or anything, and I could not easily see any of the really interesting bits. Shifting slightly, I moved around a little closer to her ass. The meter still gave the same result and I would likely have to stop soon, lest I make her too suspicious.
I really wanted to get a closer look at her pussy and ass while I was down there, but I figured I could inflict a little self-torture upon myself, it would make the eventual release that much more satisfying.
'Looks good,' I said and rose.
'Pun intended?' She laughed and shot a quick look at my slightly swollen crotch. I just grinned at her and said nothing.
The lights needed a slight adjustment, and once I was satisfied, I got my camera and set up the tripod.
'Ready when you are!' I called to her and looked at her through the viewfinder. As she turned, I saw that her pussy was shaved clean, and with my zoom lens, I could see a small jewel glinting atop her pussy. A clitoral hood piercing unless I missed my guess.
Click. Click. Click.
Erica walked over onto the trampoline and started bouncing up and down. We had agreed she would start with some simple summersaults and basic jumps for now, some action shots. She jumped and vaulted, spun and twirled as I shot a steady stream. Most of the shots I got would likely not be suitable for the calendar, but for my own collection they would do nicely.
'Is this good?' She called to me between jumps.
'Looks great!' I called back. 'But could you get a little higher?'
Erica complied, and I got a few very good shots just as she hit the bottom of the trampoline, her back towards me without showing more than just a hint of her spectacular ass. Those would probably be the only ones we could use easily for the calendar, but I let her jump a while longer.
'Okay, that'll do for now!' I called to her after a while. 'Let's take ten minutes break and then do some still poses on the trampoline.'
'Okay,' she replied. 'Did you get any good shots?'
'A few, I think. It's difficult getting suitable shots for the calendar, but there are some I think will do nicely. We'll go through them after we're done. That way I can delete all the unsuitable ones.'
'Why?' She asked me with a slight frown as she picked up a bottle of water from the ice-filled bucket.
'What do you mean, why?'
'Why would you delete them?' She appeared not to comprehend, though there was a glint to her eye that made me suspect she was only pulling my leg.
