Teaser: THE RETURN OF KAYLA

For those who have been following the unfortunate and  complex developments with everyone's favorite model, Kayla, I'm pleased to announce that we shot together again today. She was apologetic about the actions of her former manager and was pleased that I was willing to work with her again. I c...

"At the car wash, baby...!"

I document a lot of my life, but rarely post those things online. Though I'm known for my work with models, I have spent a lifetime painting, drawing, sculpting, and now shooting a fair amount of video. Here's something I shot an hour ago while simply getting a car wash. I love the abstraction of li...

The Stunning Brooke Eva, Pt. 6

Most pressing is the new workshop she and I are hosting near Joshua Tree at the end of this month. All photographer participants will be able to work with Brooke directly, receive instruction and a ten page booklet of tips and advice from me, and get to exchange feedback from other like-minded peopl...

Brooke is my creative partner in a several new endeavors, not least of which is the desire to travel to Cuba sometime in the next year or two.

The Stunning Brooke Eva, Pt. 4

Brooke and I have seen each other through some dark times, and I've always tried to share a bit of my age and experience with her when she's confronted a few of the pitfalls I fell into myself at her age.

The Stunning Brooke Eva, Pt. 3

Since that first meeting, we've shot in abandoned buildings, open fields, and fierce downpours of rain. We've shot from LA to Ojai to San Luis Obispo, making strangers feel uncomfortable, being recognized on city streets, and creating some iconic images in the process.

The Stunning Brooke Eva, Pt. 2

The first time we worked together, we shot in Griffith Park on a bright sunny day. She posed naked behind trees and bushes only feet away from hikers and tourists who had no idea that there was a flawless nude woman in such close proximity.

The Stunning Brooke Eva, Pt. 1

Among all the women I've worked with, Brooke is probably one of my closest friends. She's sensitive, funny, passionate, and real, and I don't know where I'd be without her.

Ashley in Contrast, Pt. 14

Ashley Amarillas has a beauty, grace, and elegant shape that is as stunning as it is rare. These images, though lovely and visually striking, were not thought out or imbued with a deep subject matter. Rather, they were shot as an exercise in capturing pure shape and form, simple contrast of color an...

Getting in the tub...

Here's a behind-the-scenes shot before McKenzie disrobed and hopped into the tub for our third shoot of the day. I can't wait to process the rest of these and post them in the next two weeks! I've been posting plenty of samples from this shoot and many others lately. 2016-08-09 16:21:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 13

This was the last shot we took in the road before the beach bums and other tourists began taking over the area that day. I can never get enough of working with Chase, too bad our schedules rarely line up. More coming in the next few months, if all things work out accordingly.

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 12

It's pretty impossible to take a bad shot of her.

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 11

I thought the shoot was over, but then Chase asked if I could take a few of her in just some bummy shorts and a tank top. She's just a simple, California Surfer Girl, and was hoping I could capture that before we left that day.

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 10

Though I often try to dissuade women from wanting to be as thin as many fashion magazines tell them they should be, Chase's naturally thin body type and long frame really does look astounding in photographs.

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 9

As usual, I couldn't help but play with a little bit of reflection, so I pulled out my mirror and did some in-camera magic, which she surprisingly liked. She often prefers straight-forward images, but I've slowly worn her down to my more alternative and experimental processes.

Chase in Montaña de Oro, Pt. 8

This is one of my favorites from this day. The angles and the details of her muscle and skin just really catch the light beautifully here.
