Well damn...!

It's never a priority for me, but it's interesting when a shot goes, as they say, viral. Yeah, this shot hasn't gone properly viral, but it's my most popular shot on social media in a very, very long time. Obviously, the one I posted on Instagram is censored, but it's kind of coo...

Collages I didn't end up using...

These erotica collages were things I made with the idea of including them in my first art book, Veladura, but I ended up deciding that I didn't want to after all.

Art Nude Classes...

About a month or so ago, I did my first Studio Art Nudes class in over 10 years. Some of you know why I stopped doing these a decade ago, but I'm happy to say that coming back to this genre and curriculum was phenomenal. I had a great group of people, a small close-knit group of artists that wer...

Backlit, patio, sculpture...

Alexis standing by the door on a hot af south Texas summer afternoon. One of those pockets of light that made the task easy –– a task made even easier by the subject, as Lex moves so well even in the simplest of locations.

Outdoors and in studio..

New, recent work with Mazin in Houston.

More in the woods of SE Texas...

Various natural light explorations way, way north of Houston in the delightfully named town of Cut and Shoot.Be sure to support/follow Alexis as well: https://patreon.com/TheModelAlexisA

Outdoors, in the woods...

Did a ton of shots outdoors, way north of Houston this summer. Was super hot, and I hadn't shot in this spot in almost a decade, so it was fun to explore it again.These are simple but beautiful images to get this started. Alexis flows so naturally, and the sun was just right, so...

In studio with Linds...

Brand new work with Lindsey in studio recently. She always brings it!

New work, poolside...

Some recent work by the pool and patio here in SE Texas. Was super hot, but a bunch of us got together at a buddy's house to shoot – I will have a lot to show from this day of creating so stay tuned.Model is Mazin.

More with Kera in studio...

Brand new work with Kera, once again in Houston.

New shot with Kera...

New work in studio with Kera. More to come...

VELADURA is done done and now shipping!

No, really, it is. Finally. After months of delays – but we are SHIPPING. This beautiful 16x12 hardbound luxury-produced books are something I am immensely proud of – and it brings a tear to my eye that these productions are getting into customers' hands now.If you haven't ordered you...

Throwbacks of exploration to 12 years ago...

These remind of me of when I was WILDLY exploring production/editing styles back then – title overlays, background compositing (before AI!) and more. Was fun! But, a lot I ended up getting away from – just too token and not my thing, really.

Evolution? Well, we shall see this week!

The first time I shot "cars with models" was in 2011. On a parking garage roof, and at night, and I had no idea what I was doing (see attached shot!) Following that shoot was a near endless string of "cars with girls" sets for 5-6 years after.Then I stopped.I became bored with wha...

Throwback to Austin golden hour...

Using my buddy's old project truck just as golden hour was in full bloom, I did these warm-toned portraits of Alyssa about 4-5 years ago. NEW work coming up – from Austin and much more.

Headed to Austin today...

Still not caught up on tons of sets from shoots, as I've said, but, today I head to Austin to work with all of these fabulous models (and more). Stay tuned...

Something a bit different...

Linds brought this fabric to our last shoot, and we had fun experimenting with it. She, as usual, was fantastic in this exploration. I went with a subtle backlit look, with some fill up front just to avoid full silhouette. Thought these ended up really interesting!

More new work with Victoria...

I do love shooting in the open sunlight! Even in the south Texas summer. :)

New work with Victoria...

Always fun working with Victoria, and I have 3 more sets of her coming up too. She is such a great model and friend!

Unedited set...

This was from a few years ago in Austin. I never did anything with these shots, I forget why I didn't. But, its like 20 or so shots (not edited). Also, have you seen my videos in my Shop? All affordable, and some are free for subscribers. Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/c/ninoba...

More new studio work...

Lindsey and I shot a LOT a few weeks back –just had so many great concepts! She is a great friend and ideal to work with, so, we always kill it (IMHO). More to come with Linds and a ton of other projects with some great models too – stay tuned and thanks again for your support!
