DELUXE BONUS, Pt. 1

By request, I recently uploaded a series of the lovely Erin to the $55 Level. Pouring through old archives this weekend, I found even more from that special set and am posting them to that same deluxe level. Don't miss out!

Coming Alive, Pt. 21

I like this shot a lot, too. It's not the best photo in the world, but it's a true, genuine, moment and shows how sweet she really is. I often tease her that she only takes dark, serious photos, and though she definitely is a worrier and deep thinker, she has a fun, sarcastic, self-deprecating side ...

Unfortunately, she was still a bit unhappy with showing her face, and these in the bathroom she particularly didn't like, if memory serves. If you ever meet this special lady, please tell her she's nuts. You can say it's from me, okay?

Finally, we took a few last shot in the abandoned shower. I kept apologizing for asking her to lean against the dirty tiles nude, but she never complained. Forest was always up for anything, as long as the photo turned out well.

I love this one, too.

No matter what she wore, she always had a commanding presence in front of the camera. Which is interesting considering in person she can be so shy, insecure, and downright meek.

Eventually we went back inside and experimented with reflections again, this time using an old closet mirror. We decided to shoot her in one of the yoga leotards she brought, simply to have at least one or two images she could share on censored social media platforms like Instagram.

I adore this image. It's just perfection. Even it's flaws work, if I do say so myself.

Coming Alive, Pt. 14

I called this one her "baby bird" impression, because her hands looked like little misshapen wings. Surprisingly, she didn't have a problem with that and liked it a lot.

The curve of her spine and ribs in these is just remarkable. So lovely.

Coming Alive, Pt. 12

Her shape was just incredible, and she needed no direction. "Just do something," I advised, and the more confused and unsure of herself she became, the better the poses looked.

With the light coming through the windows in the garage, creating bounce light that just subtly illuminated the floor and thus her body, I was aghast at how good everything looked. This was my favorite photo I had taken for almost a year afterwards.

Finishing up in the carport, I adjusted the camera and prepared for a darker mood.

Coming Alive, Pt. 8

Having only done yoga for a year or so, Forest had already overcome an almost crippling body-image issue, losing weight and creating strength and tone within herself. She was very proud of it and soon began modeling for many photographers in nearby Los Angeles.

Coming Alive, Pt. 7

Outside in the back driveway under the overhang, I set up a piece of faux-fur I had left in the truck from a previous shoot and had her lay on it, obscuring half her body from the sun and exposing mostly for the shadows. It was a simple, technical decision, but it worked really well, especially with...

Coming Alive, Pt. 6

We explored the backyard and I had the simple idea of shooting her in the window. Unfortunately most of the reflections of the surrounding area weren't very photogenic, but I managed to capture this one that worked pretty well.

Coming Alive, Pt. 5

The place hadn't been lived in for a while, and with renovations going on, the place was empty and dusty. Still, Forest had no qualms about rolling around on the floor, getting dirty, and doing whatever it took to create interesting images.

I had taken this mirror off my own bathroom wall and brou...

Coming Alive, Pt. 4

Forest was fine being nude, though she wasn't a fan of showing her face too much. At the time, she was incredibly self-conscious about so much of herself, and I'm glad to say in the years since I've known her, she has gained more and more confidence in that department.

Coming Alive, Pt. 3

Realize that Forest had never been a model, and only by taking up yoga did she even feel confident in her own skin. But after talking with her, I convinced her she would be more than great as a model, and she trusted me to go along with any ideas I had.

Coming Alive, Pt. 2

Forest had told me to meet me at this house in Moorpark, CA. It had belonged to a family member, who recently passed away and left it to Forest's mother. She had no major emotional connection to the place, and since we had been trying to think of a secluded yet different environment for our next sho...

Coming Alive, Pt. 1

One lazy Saturday morning two years ago I met up with my beautiful and talented friend Forest in an abandoned home for our second and most productive shoot of that winter.

Obsessive hair-flipper Chase Kennedy took a few minutes out of our shoot to pose for a very short video. Here she is in all her hair-flipping glory.

Behind-the-Scenes with Savannah

Savannah is a sweetheart who began modeling for me in the summer shortly after she graduated high school and before she left for college. Only coming home on holiday breaks, she still makes time to shoot whenever she is in the area. This video isn't much, just a hint of what it's like to shoot with ...

Kara Neko in Los Angeles

A few years ago, Kara came out to LA and we spent an afternoon shooting and coming in contact with a starving feral wolf, then I watched her eat a double cheeseburger, large fry, and a milkshake. Here's a brief video of the experience.

Under the Skin, Pt. 7

Skyler is truly a natural, California beauty. She's effortless in her mannerisms and style, and is admittedly far more experienced and sultry than her outward demeanor may convey. She recently moved away, but insists we will shoot every time she comes back to visit. Until then, I have several more i...
