Sammy in Summer, Pt. 8

I'm a sucker for white, which always feels pure and timeless and elegant to me. I've always subscribed to the concept of " less is more," and these images all convey that easier than I could with ten thousand words.

Sammy in Summer, Pt. 7

I'm so glad I brought this sheer dress with me that day, which had been thrown into the vehicle as an after-thought. Not only did it fit her like a glove, but the tone of it was perfect in the surrounds.

Sammy in Summer, Pt. 6

The sun shone brightly that day, and the warm sand and gentle breeze felt like they existed only for her.

Sammy in Summer, Pt. 5

No amount of reassurance I tried to give helped, but over time she did begin to trust my instincts. I continued to show her what I was capturing in-camera and she would occasionally whisper "Ooooooh," and then smile and clap like alittle girl. That's when i knew I was having a positive affect on ego...

Even here, she was unsatisfied. "I just don't like the way my butt looks, like...the shape of it. And the buttcrack, haha."

Sammy in Summer, Pt. 3

Despite her natural, god-given shape and womanly curves, Sammy has struggled with her views of herself for a long time.

Sammy in Summer, Pt. 2

Sammy has an effortless beauty that is both elegant and complicated.

I can't think of a better set of photos to start off the summer with than these spectacular shots of Sammy.

BTS: Fruit Salad, Pt. 3/3

Finally, the ladies were as clean as they could be, hanging out in their towels in the living room being silly and reflecting on the absurdity of the evening. They finished their pizza and drinks, had some last bits of candy, and acted aloof and silly for the camera one last time before trading cont...

BTS: Fruit Salad, Pt. 2/3

While the ladies showered, I returned to my small living room to survey the damage they had caused. Discarded pizza, wine glasses, partial bits of candy, and half-eaten fruit were strewn about the place, while the white sheet, towels, and ratty t-shirts I had let them use as a drop cloths were caked...

BTS: Fruit Salad, Pt. 1/3

Once the messy shoot of honey, fruit juice, and baby oil was over, the ladies hopped in my shower to help each other clean themselves off. I politely only shot a few photos before leaving them to complete their work in privacy.

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 11

Once that part was over, she changed one last time and I yet again had her sit in a small pool of ocean run-off, making her dunk herself to finally wet her hair. I took great pleasure in the faces she made so much that I failed to document them, while all the while her friend took video for their mu...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 10

But unfortunately, during this first shoot, we weren't there yet in our relationship, and she was pissing me off. My friends and family often joke that they know when I'm really angry when I get silent and calm, and the morning of this shoot, I was getting very quiet.

When she asked what I wan...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 9

I was learning quickly that Ashley, though sweet and well-intentioned, definitely liked to complain about things. I'm a pretty easy-going and patient person, so I would listen to her concerns, try my best to reassure her that her fears were unjustified, or eventually would get frustrated and say in ...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 8

When she was finally too cold, or I was just tired of hearing her complain about it, I helped her out of the cave and tried my best to climb out myself in my wet and clinging clothes. She changed into a tight grey body suit I had found in a thrift store and though it was cut a little to high for her...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 7

This is one of my favorite photos from this shoot, and possibly one of my favorites of that whole year. It's so subtle, the colors unusually muted for me but striking, her shape is incredible, and her face is so full of conflicting emotions. This image represents a rare moment when I look at somethi...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 6

Though looking contained here, Ashley was definitely not happy about having to be in the water, no matter how much I assured that I would be just as cold and wet as she was. The water was around my mid-section as I tried to get the proper angle, kneeling on a jagged rock. Occasionally she would take...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 5

This specific image felt unusual for me to take. I present it to show that these quiet, unintentional moments are just as important to capture as a dedicated and focused "modeling photo" can be to convey a sense of space and time.

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 4

Thankfully the water receded soon after we had arrived, so I was able to get a more comfortable foothold in the cave and shoot more intentionally. I quickly discovered that Ashley, though young and slightly immature at times, had a soulfulness to her eyes. She didn't look at you, she looked through ...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 3

We first shot in a local sea cave that I've loved since first discovering it. The water rushes in violently at times, raising the water far above the thigh, yet also slowly rise in such a gradual way that you hardly notice. This morning the water was high enough where she had to stand on the tallest...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 2

Ashley ended up bringing a friend of hers along for her own security. not that she didn't trust me, it was just that she never went anywhere alone. EVER. Whether this was a "Millenial thing" or just a personal insecurity (which is more and more a Millenial thing), I had nothing to hide and made the ...

Ashley Off Shore, Pt. 1

I met Ashley when she had just turned 18. She was a local beauty that had always had an interest in modeling and was finally ready to pursue it. After our first meet-and-greet, I decided to challenge her by having her first shoot at a public beach early on a Sunday morning. I had no idea that what I...

Stevie On Fire

Over a month into her two month West Coast modeling tour, North Carolina model Stevie took the train down from the Bay Area, arriving to my home town late in the evening. Tired from both of our long weeks, we grabbed a pizza, had a little whiskey, and went for a quick drive. Soon we found a secluded...

Back to Basics

For years I've gone out of my way to experiment with lighting techniques, buying a wide range of expensive equipment and spending countless hours trying it all out. There are countless ways light can be manipulated to create a photographic image, and countless more that those images can turn out bad...
