"Around sundown, as I was preparing to go back in to the hotel, I happened to have the good fortune to meet the lovely Brazilian model, Iza Rocche, who was also catching some late afternoon rays."  See a larger version of the swimsuit shot above of Iza.

On a recent location shoot in Miami for childrens wear, I had a few spare moments to hit the beach at the end of the afternoon on the first day after location scouting.  The next few days would be jam packed so I probably wouldn't have another chance to get out to the beach.  So I was grateful to be able to soak up some sun and relax if even only for an hour or so. I was very happy to be out of the Northeast for a few days, and winter hadn't even officially started.  Around sundown, as I was preparing to go back in to the hotel, I happened to have the good fortune to meet the lovely Brazilian model, Iza Rocche, who was also catching some late afternoon rays.  Iza has been modeling for a couple of years and spends part of the sesson in Miami.  We decided to try and schedule a shoot together before I would have to leave for New York at the end of the week.  On the morning of my flight back to NYC, we met early in the morning and shot some beautiful images.

Iza is a great swimwear model who has a pleasant attitude and is fun to be around.  She reminds me of some of the other top Brazilian models that have gone on to do top notch work as Victoria's Secret models, and Sports Illustrated Swimwear models.  Fernanda Tavares, comes to mind, whom I photographed shortly after she arrived in New York near the beginning of her career.  Of course there are many girls from all over with great swimwear bodies, but lately the Brazilians certainly have their fair share breaking through working for the top clients.

Here is another body shot of Iza that we shot during the session.
