Natasha Looking For Business - On The Street In Copper Stockings - 2006
Copper is an unusual colour for stockings. Most girls stick with black, or nude, or the occasional white. Copper is a choice.
It is the kind of colour that catches the eye without shouting for attention. Warm, rich, a bit retro. In the wrong light it can look cheap. In the right light, it looks like something out of an old film. And on the right pair of legs, at the right time of day, it can stop a street.
That is the whole mood of this set. Natasha on the street, no props, no setup, just a girl in copper stockings walking with a purpose. The title says she is looking for business, and there is something of that in the way she carries herself. Direct, unhurried, aware that she is being watched but not making a performance of it.
The street itself does most of the work in a set like this. The passing cars, the shop windows behind her, the ordinary people going about their ordinary days. Nobody in the frame knows what is really going on, and that is the point. It is the kind of scene that only exists for the few seconds before someone would notice, and the camera is there to catch it in that window.
Working with Natasha over the years, we have learned that she likes this kind of setup. She likes the tension of being out in the open where anything could happen. She is not interested in studios or carefully controlled environments. She wants the street, the weather, the unpredictable rhythm of real life.
Real life images of real life women wearing and flashing nylons in public locations. Some of the strongest sets come from the simplest ingredients, one girl, one street, and the right colour of nylons.
