Mavis Usher is one of the latest ladies to shoot with renowned pinup photographer Mike James. They got together for a three-day shoot in June of last year. Mike was once again gracious enough to allow me to share some candid photos from that shoot for this article, such as the above shot of Mavis that he snapped while she was waiting for him to set up the lights.
Besides modeling, Mavis is the administrator of Delicious Dolls magazine and she’s also quite a singer, a talent that will be showcased in an upcoming interview slated for the near future here at Idol Features.

Says Mike while shooting Mavis in this outfit; “Even in New York City,
Mavis attracts attention. It’s her incredible curves, I think.”

Mike says; “Some of the best shots come when the model is just waiting
for you to get ready”…. and here’s a prime example.
