Talk about coming full circle. Carmen Electra appeared in her first Playboy pictorial in the magazine's May 1996 issue. Almost seven years later, she was back where she started, in Playboy's sunny Santa Monica studio. This time, however, Carmen wasn't posing for Playboy; a Playmate was posing for her.
"I wanted to do this because I know what it feels like to be on the other side of the camera and I love shooting pictures," said Carmen, whose session made her the first woman to be featured in Playboy.com's Celebrity Photographer series. "I have always wanted to learn how to use a professional camera, so when you guys approached me I thought it would be fun. And the girls in Playboy are the most beautiful in the world, so what better first project?"
Carmen had an extra, ulterior motive to join the ranks of Playboy photographer -- she wanted to film her shoot and feature it on her syndicated lifestyle TV show, Livin' Large. So with her TV crew in tow, she cruised into the Playboy studio ready to make beautiful pictures. But before she could snap her first one, legendary Playboy lensman Stephen Wayda, who captured Carmen for the magazine's upcoming April cover, had some advice: "Don't think. Have fun. Use lots of movement."
