16 Images from "Leola: Monochrome Outtakes from ‘Buying Her Clothes’"

Full set of 99 images available here: https://hal.red/T5Ol6m

If you’ve seen some of our earlier outtake sets, you know what happens.

We ask a question and trip the shutter while the model is answering, or while she’s in the mid-blink we often refer to as “drunk-eyes.” Less than flattering expressions. but still an incredibly cute model just the same.

15 Images of Leola Trading Clothes for Cash . . . and more.

From “Leola: Buying the Clothes off Her Back (and Elsewhere)”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/gYvpXT

You’ll notice something, of course, about the cash we paid to Leola for the clothes she’d been wearing. The currencies come from multiple countries where we speak a variety of languages. So, you might also notice that when Leola lays back to caress herself with the...

The Transformation Triptych - w/Jody Ryker

A collaboration with our friend the acrobat, lyra hoop, and pole dancer with the incredibly buff upper back, and an uncanny ability to present the ultimate in gender fluidity. If you get a chance to seem them perform, take it! And if you'd like to see more, there's more (whole sets and segments thereof) that will be appearing in our various platforms. Enjoy the day!

A Dozen of Lucy in Bodysuit and Body Chains - Each Temporarily

From “Lucy: In the Ultease Dotted Chain (More and Less)”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/2KgJVO1B

Another “Adventure in Ultease,” this time Lucy starts with their body-chain top dotted with translucent circles on top of her own red lace bodysuit. This time, the bodysuit comes off, getting skillfully removed from under the body-chain top. The top may distract from the view of what’s beh...

For those who've asked: Five Reasons I've Been Told I Should Have Been Fired

I've been asked about the five reasons I have heard from congregation members that they were given for why I should have been fired from my current post as pastor. (Note: I have still not been fired, but am living in limbo/in exile, awaiting firing or acceptance of my resignation--submitted on January 16, 2019).

5 - That I preached too frequently on death/dying/bereavement/grief/mourning. (In my defense: I preached on those themes no more frequently than those topics appeared in the...

15 Outtakes of Paige and Katrina as Voluptuous Victorians

From “Paige and Katrina: Victorian Outtakes”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/vdcsUzao

There’s a lot to love here with Paige and Katrina. Not just because they are two of the most amazing models we’ve shot, but also because we love the conversations, jokes, and reactions we get during the process of creatively collaborating with them.

What constitutes “Ou...

15 Images of Paige on the Mossy Rocks with a Calla Lily

From: “Paige: On the Mossy Rocks (Calla Lily)”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/dIDJKDM

Foot traffic had slowed by the time we produced this set. So Paige didn’t have to take off her dress more than once this time. In fact, she didn’t take it off even once. Here…well, she’s wearing only some marvelous expressions, making some artistic gestures, and posing with the bloom and leaves of a...

Two Dozen Shots of Our Pink Flower amidst the Greenery

From “Taylor Mae: ‘Baby, You CAN’T Drive My Car.’”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/6LcDP7R3

Our first-ever shoot with the extraordinary Taylor Mae finds her playing on, in, around, and next to the rusted hulk of one of Detroit’s formerly finest creations. She’s covered (temporarily) in less fabric than the vehicle is covered in graffiti and stickers. But as with many other car show...

Some SugarTs that might still work for Patreon's new standards.

You'll need to go looking for the links. I can't send you directly to the Crooked Container site where this full set is available. But here's what we said about this little episode with SugarTs (that's sug4rt1ts on FL).
- - - - -

There is a D/s element to some interaction between photographers and models. This is a good thing. It means the photographer is clearly communicating their vision and how the model can best portray, pose, and express what fits that vision. It also requires ...

A Fortnight of Images of Paige on the Green Mossy Rocks

From: “Paige: On the Mossy Rocks (Black Dress)”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/zEHCLe

Impromptu. Spontaneous. Risky. Especially risky.

 You’ll see in this set that Paige has to take her dress off twice. Why? Because with the approach of passersby, she needed to throw it back on briefly while we engaged in a little conversation about the nature of photoshoots in a semi- (oka...

12 of Aurora Bunny - Sheer Delight at the Beach

From “Aurora Bunny: Sheer Delight in the Strong Beach Winds”

Full set available on the Crooked Container site.

Aurora Bunny: another new-to-us model re-entering the profession after a brief hiatus.

As with others, we subjected her to our two-hour, low-stress, get-acquainted shoot…and WOW what a shoot. Five sets to sort, edit, and upload for you over the coming months.

We start out with some remarkably nuanced ex...

18 shots of Alexis on the bay-facing rocks

From “Alexis: Sheer Pink Lingerie, Dress, and Less”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/nCWEVQ

Sheer pink panties. Sheer pink bra. Sheer pink dress. And the sheer delight of a brave young model who lives her truth, even as the sun rises on the waterfront park in which we met before dawn one morning.

Alexis’ body-positivity isn’t as perfect as some of her parts a...

10 images comprising Acolytes' Accolades

Here are the pieces and the products. We collaged seven images of Jody Ryker as the deity/regent to be adored by those surrounding them. Included: three edits of the final image. Enjoy!

21 UNIQUE images of Vivian and Jenn!

From “Vivian & Jenn: Dress Wrestling – In Loving Color”

So, you know the usual deal. We include a few images from among the many more that we put into full sets elsewhere. (And still, there's a full set available here: https://hal.red/Ylb6Jp.) But this set is different. We overshot so significantly that not only are there two sets of images (one in loving color and the other in marvelous monochrome), there are twen...

1 Special shot from the images edited for Teutonic Tigress

More of these will be on their way before too long. But I underestimated how much more time is required to anonymize not just facial features, but other identifying marks as well. Still, a labor of love, nonetheless.

6 Anonymized Shots of TeutonicTigress - Showing Us Everything but What I Really Want to See

From “TT: ‘Let Me Show You This’”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/DpNdjCUL (at a special introductory price in honor of our newest model).

Our newest friend, TT (short for TeutonicTigress – whose profile you’ll find at https://fetlife.com/users/16819842) lured us away from the party. "Let me show you this," s...

8 Images of Charlotte from some Great Angles

From “Charlotte: Pipes, and Ladder, and Stairs (Oh, MY!)”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/67kSrj

Our captivating captive sought an escape. But the stairway ended at a platform where Charlotte could control the flow of utilities into the building, but not much else. And the ladder was too short to reach the hatch leading to the roof. Still, Charlotte finds her naïve guards open to an offer that puts her on...

10 More of Paige from the Reservoir Sessions

From “Paige: Wading in Her Bright Reflection.” Full set available here: https://hal.red/I6jirkar

Another set from our epic shoot at the reservoir.

Here is Paige wading in the bright reflection of the sunrise, letting the sun’s brilliance obscure the more private portions of the program (in some shots). But then Paige reaches down into the water to scoop up some of that sunshine before ladling it repeatedly onto...

Vivian and Paige: Only 8 Images, but 2 Models

From “Vivian and Paige: Fashion Fun on the Stairway.”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/RWAAjQu

One very bright location, with a stunning black stairway for an accent.

Two very bright women, with stunning black tops for accents.

Three segments to this set, with each woman haunting the other’s fashion shoot, and then wrestling over the one place in the spotlight.

But we start with Paige i...

12 Images of Her Stillness Dances from "The Workshop" (see below)

From “Her_Stillness_Dances…on the Couches and Elsewhere”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/Lsp3mm

How often are you impressed, long before you meet a person, and entirely because of their name? (Or, in the case of most models, their pseudonym.) From the first time I saw the model known as “Her Stillness Dances,” I’ve been taken by her name. The more I saw of photographers’ work with her, I became t...

Ten Shots of Jenn from the Workshop

From “Jennifer Jones: Amidst the Orchids, with BTS, Outtakes, and Some Additional Images, too.”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/sQQmHpR

Jenn is one of a handful of models who have a place on our schedule just about any time she wants. In addition to her professional skills, adventurous spirit, and gorgeously classy looks, she has routinely brought collaborative creativity to the conversation that results ...

14 Images of the "Little-Bit Pregnant" Pluto

From “Pluto the Petite is Just a Little Pregnant”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/XkMu5y

True, as the “Old Wives” saying goes: No woman is ever truly “a little pregnant.” But Pluto is still fairly little. Of course, we’re looking forward to shooting her as she gets larger. Much larger. And yet, in each of the sets we produced with her the other day, it seems that the Old Wives were definitely rig...

Beyond My Usual Shoot(s) - Notes on my participation in "Viv's Art + Figure Photo Workshop"

I have, on occasion, fallen into a rut in my photography with art-nude (and otherwise nude) models and clients. I enjoy the company, the collaboration, and the creativity that seems to escalate exponentially during an especially good shoot. But while I still pursue some very high-concept, narrative sets of images, I sometimes fill the remainder of a photo session by following the same (albeit profitable) repeated pattern with variations in wardrobe/angle/setting/props: woman in clothing, then...

8 More of AbsCan by Skylar

From “AbsCan Shot By Skylar – Set 2: In & Out of Red Lingerie & Jean Jacket”

Full set available on the Crooked Container site.

As with “Set 1: Headwrap & Explicitry,” we’re again seeing AbsCan (Absolute Cancer – aka Kandy Korn in several earlier sets) through the lens wielded by our protégé, assistant, second-lens, and model Skylar. The framing and focus of her shots demonstrate what she has on her mind, maybe her heart, and definitely another organ or ...

10 Images of Charlotte, our Fire "Extinguisher?"

From “Charlotte: Could Any Fire Extinguish Her?”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/t1SJ7xsm

Puns. Sometimes they come up in conversation. Sometimes they’re inspired by an image and the ideas they prompt. And then there are those you just happen upon. That’s the case here.

When Charlotte saw the empty space beneath the sign, with the platform nicely provided in the lovely sidelight of the window, ...

8 Images of AbsCan by Skylar in the Abandoned Barracks

From “AbsCan Shot By Skylar – Set 1: Headwrap & Explicitry”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/RjUZQoA

Living vicariously through photographers, you can imagine you’re behind the lens, giving instructions, or simply observing and recording the events that unfold before you. In this set, though—knowing that the Subversive photographer onsite was our protégé, assistant, second-lens, and ...

12 of Vivian at Rest, Jenn Mourning, and You--the audience--pondering your options

From “Vivian & Jenn: Jenn’s Revisiting Prevents Reviving Vivian”

Full set available here: https://hal.red/U5Ox0Z

You remember that “once upon a time” Sleeping Beauty’s awakening involved actions more fortifying than a simple kiss. The explicit details of the ancient version occur to you when you find the magnificent body of Vivian Cove laid bare, and laid to rest in your ivy-carpeted garden.

You c...
