Muse and angel

All photographers have a muse. Someone who inspires them to do better, achieve greater artistic and technical skill.
Juu-Sama is one such muse. She was my first true model subject, and from the day I met her, I was enraptured.
What was so great about her is that she was willing to do anything for the sake of art. She had a very clear view of what she wanted, and trusted me to get her there. She was my first nude subject, and helped me quite a bit get over being nervous.
Juu-Sama set the bar for muses, and I have yet to find one that meets her. I know there is one out there.
You can see all of her photos in my Juu Sama collection at my flickr page.
