Fundraiser for NectarDrops

12 images from “NectarDrops in Maui's Iao Valley – BTS & Outtakes”

Here's a set (available here: https://hal.red/8hPGR9) that tears at my heart, but also might provide some healing as well.

This is NectarDrops in some wonderful behind-the-scenes (BTS) shots and outtakes during our main shoot last month on Maui--mostly when she was making faces at me while she tried to hear my directions over the roar of the river and waterfalls around her. Some very nice shots of her switching wardrobe, then getting and being without wardrobe for that fourth set, as well as some climbing over the boulders to get into new and different positions for the various other sets.

Before we go farther, let me say that she has survived the fires. But as a result of some housing, employment, and other rearrangements necessary on the island, she is in great need at the moment.

So - here's the plan. I'm working with her to get some modeling gigs lined up - we were already considering bringing her to the Bay Area and/or Monterey Bay region for some shoots. We're also open to photographers on or headed to Maui who could use a model, guide, local contact, etc.

We have promised the full retail of each box sold (including adding out-of-pocket the portion that BentBox takes as their cut of the action) as part of our personal Maui-relief efforts. That amount will go entirely to NectarDrops. So, please tell your friends they can get a fun set of shots, including being without wardrobe (that DOES make a difference to some of us), and help out our Maui model at the same time. At $10 total, we're matching your payment. BentBox gets $5, we get $5. But then we add to the $5 we get another $5 so that NectarDrops gets an amount equivalent to the full retail price. (And if you'd like to donate more, I'm sure we can find a way to make that work, too.)
