Yesterday, we shot with the lovely Nina Daven for the first time in 14 years!! Nina last worked in 2008, when she shot with us 3 times, including a 2 day long shoot where we brought her in for a weekend and she crashed at our place. Probably only our long-term, die hard fans will remember her, although she did several cool shoots, including a saran wrap mummification where she is put into a suitcase (see IS148 – Mummification Ordeals). She then moved even further away and we were unable to get her back for additional shoots. Over the intervening years, we have maintained some contact with her & we had her know that if she ever came back to Vegas, we would be interested in shooting with her. Well, a few weeks ago she reached out and said she would be in town & would like to shoot again. We, of course, said yes. It can be a bit odd shooting with someone after such a long gap – almost like shooting with a new model. But yesterday was nothing like that. Nina was super friendly, very easy going and just a pleasure to work with and talk to. And she still looks great – maybe even better than 14 years ago! We shot 3 videos, with photosets, all of which will eventually appear in the Imago Studios’ Members’ Club. We had so much fun shooting with Nina that we are already talking with her about shooting again. She still doesn’t live particularly close, but hopefully we will be able to get her in every now & then. | |

Nina looks like a winner. It’s great to see her again. I would like to see her again and again. ; )
I do remember that Saran Wrap suitcase scene. So great to see Ni a again and what a gap between shoots, when you announced a returning model from 2008 on Twitter, I looked up the BTS section and figured it was her. Should have sent the a tweet reply.
Welcome back Nina! Wow you look great and I’m excited to see these scenes 🙂
It’s awesome to hear that you’ve kept in contact with each other and I always enjoy a return after a long time.
