This week's Highlight Photo of the Week is one from a recent model shoot. Jaq contacted me on Facebook, where I had mentioned I was looking for models, and after some discussion we agreed to do a shoot on a day that held some promise. A few weeks later, with sunny days predicted, I got her a message, arranged a day and time when I would be off work, and we arranged to meet at The Forks, a local national park and marketplace in the city. While some delays happened, we still got in about an hour and a half of shooting, and ended up with about 700 photos across many different areas at the Forks.
Jaq brought a number of outfit combinations, and I am pretty sure we used every single one of them, some parts more than once in combination with other parts. I am not sure if this is a common practice in modeling, but it was definitely helpful in adding to the range of looks to the shoot. I recently posted about 30 of the estimated 50 shots that will be posted once I get them fully post processed. To decide this week's Highlight from the 30, I went to twitter, the Microblogging service, and asked those who follow me for their advice on which one I should pick.
I got over 20 replies, and ended up with three finalists, which were also put up for a vote. The photo below was the one chosen. The rest of the photos, as well as the last 20 I need to upload, are at the Jaq Shoot 1 gallery.
Seriously Seductive

Female fashion models who work with the designers throughout the season are also in the competition. Each week, as the number of designers dwindle, the number of models are also reduced, with one model remaining at the end. Models are randomly pre-assigned to a designer during the first challenge, and from the second challenge onwards, the designers will have an opportunity to pick the model they wish to work with.
This usually happens during the start of every episode save for the first, with the winner of the previous challenge receiving first pick, and the other designers picking models in order through host Klum's random draw of large red shirt buttons with their names stored in a black velvet bag. Though, there are times when only the winning designer will be given the choice to pick with the following choices:
either keep his or her previous model, take the losing designer's model Project Runway from the last challenge, or switch models with another competing designer
