Nicole Vaunt, Amber Rose McConnell and AyBabyMidnight at Valley of Fire
Added 2017-10-21 19:52:52 +0000 UTCI don't even remember when we made it down to Vegas. I think it might have been July, but the past few months have been a whirlwind...I just checked it was August, which is some how more confusing. Vegas was a little bit of a mix up. Nicole thought she had to be there for work, but it turned out she had to be in New York for the same job the following week, so instead of Amber and I lounging around Vegas while Nicole worked all day we decided to make a little bit of a work/relax trip out of it.
I've got a sort of mixed history with Vegas. My first trip leaving the East Coast was for a Photoshop Workshop in Vegas. My roommate Brian and I drove from Brooklyn to Vegas on a two day hell ride. We traded off driving and sleeping in 16 hour intervals only stopping to eat, use the bathroom, and grab food. The car was littered with empty energy drinks, and empty packs of cigarettes by the time we got to Vegas, and we had blown through an absolutely incredible amount of the country, which I quickly realized I was going to need to revisit.
We did this before smart phones, and we got there by Atlas, and printed out map quest directions. We got to town, and found the strip. All I really new about the city was what I had gathered from pop culture the only casino I could even identify was Circus Circus. We assumed they were all too expensive for us so we checked into the Holiday Motel across the street from Circus Circus. While we waited for our room a couple came out and started complaining about all their valuables going missing after the room was cleaned...when we got to our room it looked like it had never been cleaned. We slept in our sleeping bags on the bed.
Traveling is so much easier now.
Flash forward 9 years and the three of us are staying in Circus Circus. We flew into town caught a cab, and the next day we met up with Aybaby Midnight aka Bixton. We shot in this incredible hotel room (that set will be coming soon), and the next day all three of us drove out to Valley of Fire, which I have actually never been to, but it completely blew us away.
Just one hour from Vegas the incredible sand stone cliffs, and canyons rival Utah, my first real outdoor love. In just one spot and over one afternoon, we shot so many incredible photos we decided we needed to plan something bigger, and we definitely needed to return.
Nicole, Amber and I have been working hard on our outdoor nude work to make it even stronger and even more dynamic. Separately they are both incredible models, and posing together in images creates an even bigger challenge, but we are really proud of how much our work is growing as a result.
