There is something slightly unseemly and secretive about most motel shoots, but they also contain an element of anonymous joyful privacy. This is one of the reasons that motel are celebrated as one of the best non-traditional places for a fashion photographer to capture a series of images with a model.
In this collection of amazing motel shoots, friends and couples are featured on road trip, and models and photographers are shown looking for unique and alternative shooting location venues. These motel shoots do a perfect job of blending the seedy elements of the low-rent temporary housing spots and the inherent sex appeal of the secretive rooms. Click through this collection to see some of the most creative and alluring motel shoots to have existed.
