I think the title tells you all you need to know...

Cool Cat

It's just a nice image with Anneli Caicedo on my studio rug.
Shot with my vintage Canon Dreamlens 50mm ƒ0.95, shot around ƒ. 1.2-1.4 for this.

Submission in blue

In April Last year, I brought Wiana to Lanzarote to shoot the Art Nude on Location: Mastering Natural Light video course.

For the video...

The Death Star(s)

I don’t know why I called this image “The Death Stars.”

It’s likely a combination of the effect of Daniella's formidable, erm. Headlights that will attract attention, and then the physical roundness and the nipple remind me of the Star Wars death star.

When I name images, I f...

Wiana and Valentina art freestyling in the Kiln.
(See post from June 14.)
I love to shoot with daylight in places like this because of the constrictions.

I would never light images like this in the studio.
But here, I’m forced to work with the light available, find a background...

Finger walking

I’ve always been conflicted about shooting something like this, but I also know that when something intrigues me and someone feels that something is “scandalous,” I feel even more inclined to shoot it.

I want to prove (to myself) I can.

We tried it on this set, and I like the re...

Daylight from the studio windows.

Pastel Canyon

I managed to meet up and shoot with the Gorgeous Zulema while in Vegas last month and drove out to Valley of Fire, one of my favorite shooting spots.

This particular canyon is magical, especially in the morning before the sun creeps down and reaches the walls.

But lighting aside, at...

Nice little BTS from the Kiln studio in Stoke On Trent

Perimeter with Georgia

Georgia in the dungeon

Or actually, It's not a dungeon; it's a Kiln from the Stoke-on-Trent Studio, The Kiln in the UK.
It's a brilliant location, though.

I changed the mood slightly from the original and liked the bluish tones better.

I shot these with my Sony A7RIV and Sig...

Grace reinvented?

I love working with Zsan.
We got along as if we had been friends forever despite having just met an hour before.

Working with people like that makes a photo shoot so intuitive and exciting, as we can freestyle and try things out.

An uncanny openness to try things also makes it ea...

Loulou in green

Again, my sofa set and light from two windows, but with an overcast sky outside, everything becomes more moody.

I messed up something when shooting these.
If you look closely, you can see that the first image has a much bigger depth of field than the others.

It’s because I acci...

Spiral galaxy of love

It is In my head, at least.

This is a part of the group shot I did last month just before hurrying to the US.
 I love working with big groups.
The images can almost feel surreal…

Kory Dance aka. Korydark

Last month, I picked up Kory Dance, a Mexican Ballerina, at the airport, drew to the studio and shot for some hours, and drove her back to the airport afterward as she was leaving for Barcelona.

I would have loved more time and the opportunity to shoot outdoors.

I mean a fiery-looking...

Well hello

The endless Sinner Doing her thing:

This is also my sofa setup, but here, the direct sun streams through the windows, diffused by two layers of frosted opal foil.

Pale rider

D. Genevieve is very pale of nature, so I thought it could be interesting to create something brighter on my sofa set than I’d naturally do. And I used an 85mm ƒ1.2 to get a shallow depth of field to keep only the exciting bits in focus and let the rest fade into oblivion.

Suppose you re...

Dixie Booty BTS movie

BTS form the shoot with Dixie

Loulou's chair

I love the expression in this image of Loulou.
Something incongruent with the pose seems a bit sexy (yes, it’s “the booty chair”), but there is a duality in the expression that elevates the image beyond just a lovely booty.

Agree or disagree?

Dixie booty

The last time I shot with Dixie, I put her in “the booty chair,” but we quickly decided she needed more space to move, so I brought in an ottoman.

She’s wearing a wig in these.
While I don’t usually do that, I decided that she was a new woman with new hair and no face, so I remov...

White Nancy

White Nancy in the Peak District

In March, I went to the UK to do a workshop with Wiana and Georgia Brown about creativity in photography.

We arrived a day early, had some time to sightsee, and drove around.
Let’s just say the weather wasn’t behaving exactly, so we restricte...

On black holes and quantum physics

Capella Modeling from a sofa set.

This was not my best photographic session (photographically): Capella came straight from an exam (in fluid dynamics if you must know), and we had limited time.
But we also ended up talking for a couple of hours; she’s studying to be an astrophysicist, ...

Goddesses and the rock

I was in the US last month and spent a week meeting with old friends (and gaining new ones) and photographs before my family flew over for a much-needed vacation.

I drove from Las Vegas to Kanab to meet up with Kaela&n...

Zienna Flashback

Since these are all clothed, I’ll share this as a public post.

One of my Patrons requested images of Zienna Sonne.
 I do have some, but not nudes, as she doesn’t shoot this style.

Red Queen and the booty chair

In case you wonder; yes, I changed the upholstery's color from green to those; it seemed more fitting with the color scheme in this image.

These are more on the erotic side than the artsy side. I’ll happily admit I like to use the fine line between the two as a skipping rope 😜

Ashleigh engulfed in shadows.

I wanted to create some darkness in this set, so I set up my large Fresnel spot - no flash, only the pilot light, and went to town.

I’m a sucker for mystery, and Ashleigh has that in spades.
