Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2011

224


i was at the bookstore yesterday checking out magazines. of course i grab the SI swimsuit issue. i flip through all the pages and only one photo caught my eye. this one. i’m not looking at it as a regular reader checking out all the chicks, i’m looking through it as a photographer trying to figure out what i want to shoot next. looking at this photo makes me want to pick shells. awesome!!!!

if i told you 20 years ago that i wanted to be a bikini model photographer, you would think i’m joking. but now that i’ve been practicing a lot, i think showing the beauty of women is just as good as showing the beauty of the ocean. i’m still learning and hopefully someday i’ll get that SI cover shot…. big dream but why not?

brazilian wct surfer bruno schimitz in SI swimsuit issue? big time for this girl. 20,000 people might read surfer magazine, but 20,000,000 people read Sports Illustrated, including myself….

here is bruno schmitz at her normal job….
