The PhotoSmith posts
Quick update - March 1, 2025
I apologize: the set featuring HippieModelChic is delayed. I zonked out last night before 9:30 and slept for more than 12 hours. I think I'm fighting something (or the flu shot I got earlier in the week caught up with me). I was already feeling wiped out -- yesterday was a long day of good meet...
the unending seconds (tease)
A tease for this evening's set.

I'll be posting a second featured set of HippieModelChic this evening, but it may be late.
fleur de farine
An experiment I cooked up in the studio a long time ago.

I can't tell which has more oomph -- the color of the monochrome.

Discord Server
I'm admittedly more familiar with Discord as a user than as an administrator, but I'm going to start using the server I created (and neglected)… bear with me while I work out the bugs and please feel free to offer suggestions as to what I should use Discord for (if you have any specific id...

These are the posts available to paid members in the past seven days.
the unfettered sky
Playing with a series of SolveiG at the shore.
no money; only banter
Something a little more daring from the session with Sea. How do y'all feel about the occasional bit of erotica?
it's hard to keep a clean shirt clean
From a photo session with Sea, before Asheville was devastated by Hurricane Helene.
Intimate filmmaking clipreel
A sample clip built for Bull City Boudoir demonstrating my skills at filming intimate moments. A much smaller square version plays on the site.
Renee in the snow
It's snowing here, but the roads are too messy to go collaborate with someone (Chloe and I tried…) so here's a scene from 2014 with Renee on a rooftop in Manhattan.
nasa huli ang pagsisi
Black and white or color?
spirit duplication
A scene from a boudoir photo session with a loving throuple.
Should I open an online store…?
Something else I'm currently working on is getting the thousands of photographs on my portfolio website formatted for inclusion in an online store -- it's absolutely embarassing when people ask me at art markets if they can browse my catalogue for purchase online. This is slow-going and a dr...
I need your feedback: Bull City Boudoir
I want my way of making art to be as accessible and inclusive as possible, so I've launched Bull City Boudoir-- an unapologetically inclusive intimate photography service that serves Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, the Research Triangle, and the world beyond.I believe the site is ready for prime t...
is the world coming back to surrender its love? (February 2025 featured set Color Edit)
As much as I love the black and white edit of this set, there's something wonderful about the creamy color of the warm light on Erica's skin, don't you think?
is the world coming back to surrender its love (February 2025 featured set)
Some of my favorite studio images ever come from this performance art session with Erica Jay -- the first and only time I've worked with a studio audience. (A concept that I might need to revisit)
