Our first encounter with Nancy began with a message we received from her.
"I messaged you after seeing your work of nudes. I shoot self nude and do model for photo shoots."
Attached to the polite introductory message was a nude photo of herself with beautiful tattoos on both sides of her hips.
I immediately replied thanking her and asking her to model for me,
She said, "I would be happy to be a model if it's okay with me.
I want to keep my tattoo because I consider it as a work of art.
It will just be ashes when I die."
She gladly agreed to model and two weeks later I photographed her.
She liked the work I photographed so much that I planned to work with her afterwards, but about six years after our first meeting she became ill and passed away permanently.
