Viktory Dance
What happens when you invite a ballerina to shoot with you? Dance happens!
Kandy Vert Lounges
Kandy Vert is a professional musician I met in Toronto. She posed for me right before she had a gig to play at. We had a great time during this shoot, and then went to grab something to eat. She brought me to a poke restaurant, where I learned not only could you find poke outside of Hawaii, but it w...
Fil, and Nothing But Fil
I know I've said it before, but every time I go through this set I think the same thing, I LOVE this hotel. It was the perfect setting for my shoot with Fil and I want to go back and use it again!
Wonderhussy Takes a Bath
I only gave a vague idea of what I wanted to Wonderhussy before she showed for the shoot, so she took that flexibility and ran with it! We decided to finish up our shoot with her getting wet.
Gurularoo in Nature
The park where Gurularoo and I shot is fairly small and well visited. I though shooting during a colder time in fall would keep the hikers away but I was wrong. We ended up moving a few times, mainly because the lack of foliage made us visible from the park road and we saw plenty of cars driving by....
Layla Almost Dressed
I loved this outfit that Layla brought with her.
Kalopsia Window Dressing
Kalopsia and I met at the Metro station and I gave her a ride. As we talked, I managed to miss every turn and had to backtrack several times. We did eventually end up in the right place.
Laura Lee on the Beach
Laura was happy to break away from her business a few hours to shoot with me on the beach. She definitely knows how to warm up a day!
Jenna Hangs Out
There are few looks as classic as jeans and leather jacket, and Jenna Citrus rocks that look.
Assorted Ariel
Here a few different looks from my shoot with Ariel Taylor. I'm looking forward to her next trip to the US. Of course, if I ever get to the UK you can bet I'll get in touch with her to shoot again.
Jamie Lee Lets Loose
I've had the good fortune to work with Jamie Lee Bauern several times. She is a fun person and uninhibited, which shows in her work. When working outside, I typically just use a single strobe fired into a shoot-through umbrella. Every once in a while, I may take out a second light but not often....
Fierce Minnie
A few from my shoot with Minnie in Seattle.
Classic InnaBG
The studio where InnaBG and I worked had a classic boudoir feeling to it so I decided to shoot and process this to look similar to the 1920s and 1930s-era boudoir photos that used to go around. I tried two different processing styles on one shot before settling on my favorite look.
Urban Melancholic
This was my first time working with Melancholic and it was great. I had an area with an urban feel to it and Melancholic found an outfit to match the setting. I used a single speedlight firing through a shoot-through umbrella to boost the natural light that was coming through. I wanted a raw feel to...
Viktory Wins!
I wanted to do a dance-themed shoot with Viktory, a classically trained ballerina, but I didn't have a great studio available that would work with a traditional dance theme. I had a living room, though, so we put that to work.
Denisa Outdoors
Denisa Strakova is a fashion and fine arts model from Czechia who has appeared in just about every fashion magazine you can think of. When I found out she was coming to the US, I was happy to get on her schedule.
Vox in Dress
I hope you all enjoyed my foray into alternative/BDSM photography. Vox Serene makes a return here as we go back to my normal shooting opportunities.
RavishRaven Changes Roles
I didn't want to keep RavishRaven as the dom the entire shoot so we switched it up.
Dom RavishRaven
RavishRaven reached out to me to see if I was interested in doing a BDSM-themed shoot. I had never done a BDSM shoot before so I was happy to say yes and try it out! We started out with RavishRaven as the dom then switched it around.
Nathalia's Panties
Nathalia brought an interesting pair of panties with her so of course we had to shoot her wearing them!
Wen in the Bathtub
I've had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan a couple of times and I've enjoyed each trip. I stayed in Taipei both times so I've had a chance to explore the city. Next time, I want to travel around and see more of the country. I was still exploring Taiwan cuisine when I met Wen and she i...
Poppyseed Dancer Expresses Herself
More from my set with Poppyseed Dancer.
RavishRaven by Herself
I occasionally get asked about my locations. I like to vary my backgrounds so I don't often use studios. I usually shoot in AirBnBs or hotels, and I don't like to shoot in the same place very often. I bring in my lights and set up usually before the model arrives. I would love to have the sp...
Welcoming the Sun
By request, here are more photos from my shoot with my friend, who wants to remain anonymous.
Allie Summers on the Couch
The sun was harsh as it came through the window, causing extreme contrasts in the room. I set up two strobes to help lighten the shadows and reduce the contrast, but I still had to make sure that Allie stayed out of the direct sunlight.
Sweet Virginia in Lingerie
I met Sweet Virginia through another photographer. She was new to the modeling and was anxious to work in boudoir settings.
Poppyseed Dancer in Nature
Poppyseed Dancer is extremely talented and had to choose between two very challenging and rewarding careers, to become a professional ballerina or a concert pianist. For ballet, she trained under Maestro Victor Litvinov and Christiano Collangelo, in Florence, Italy, among others. Her music teachers ...
Traceyourworld Sundress Off
A different take on Traceyourworld's sundress set.
Traceyourworld's Sundress On
I loved the sundress that Traceyourworld brought with her. I will continue with part II of this post tomorrow.
Manami
I've had the pleasure of working with Manami several times. She brings a lot of energy and ideas to the shoot, which is great because it can be difficult as a photographer if I am the only one presenting ideas. I think shoots are most fun and productive when there is interaction and everyone is ...
