Kacie Marie and Carrie Wilds for The Jungle(?)

Sometimes things don't go as planned. I made the trip up to New York to shoot Carrie and Kacie together for The Jungle, but we ended up running a couple hours late, and daylight gave way to street lights. I don't know if these will end up being part of he final series because I'm not sure that I'll end up doing any more shoots that are shot this way.Not wanting to call it a wash though, I decided to try something a little different. I still tried to use the 85mm F1.4 but I had to break out my...

Flowerbomb for The Jungle (New Edits of an Old Shoot)

February 2014 I was in Atlanta, Georgia, and had the chance to shoot with Flowerbomb (http://ohmyflowerbomb.tumblr.com/) one week later she moved to Korea, and I've been trying to figure out how to shoot with her again since. Hoping to make that happen next year.This shoot had temperatures below 40 degrees, a setting sun, briers, and was done in about 20 minutes, and even with all of those factors it still turned out ama...

Jenna Kellen and Ryanne S for Temperance

If I were to title this shoot for temperance it would be Small Parts Isolated and Defined, a riff off of the title of one of my favorite NoMeansNo album titles. Sometimes when I'm shooting I get words stuck in my head, and I am just sort of drawn to images that fit with those. I think it goes back to college when we would have assignments to shoot a specific word a week, but it was entirely up to our interpretation. This shoot and my shoot with Kacie and Vaunt I was really focused on touch an...

Kelsey Dylan for The Jungle

Kelsey is kind of a hero of mine. She's basically the person you'd most want to be lost in the woods with. Able to identify wild edibles, we spend a lot of our time on our way to locations figuring out what we are going to collect on our way back to eat. She also hitchhiked up to my place from Baltimore to hang out for a couple of days. She's the real deal. For this shoot I thought it would be fun to do something different and get her in some lingerie, gloves, and stockings. All of our sho...

Di for Temperance

Its weird because I feel like I haven't been busy at all so far this year, but its really because I have been caught up on my photo editing for almost a month now, which is not normal at all. I'm still shooting a bunch, but I've had time to shoot one day and edit the next where I'm normally shooting one day and editing my way down a list that never seems to end.A couple days ago Di came back to Philly for a quick visit and a quick shoot. I was still working on Journey To The End of The Night t...

Miss Kacie Marie and Nicole Vaunt For Temperance

In addition to cabin fever, we decided to try and shoot a few images for Temperance while Kacie was in town. I recently added a new mirror to the mix, which has been a lot of fun as I know have a few more angles I can shoot from. It also makes it a little harder since I now I have two mirrors I need to make sure you can't see me in when I'm taking the pictures. This was a quick one, so only a few images made the final cut, but I'm still very happy with how they came out. My goal when shooting...

Cabin Fever

I haven't actually been home for winter in years. I almost always plan time on the road, so having this many months in Philly, and not being able to shoot outdoors has been a little crazy. I've done a lot of shooting for Temperance, and all of that shooting makes it a little hard in the struggle to not start taking the same photo over and over again. Fortunately when Kacie Marie came down this weekend, we decided to do something completely different.The vast majority of my shoots for Temperan...

Marlo Marquise for Temperance

I feel like I have been home for so long, and I'm definitely starting to get a little stir crazy. Its weird going from nearly a shoot every day on the road to a shoot once or twice a week, while home, but I am always trying to do new things and keep it fresh.I'm really starting to like the way Temperance is starting to go. For my shoot with Marlo I tried to very heavily focus on small details. Isolated parts reflected in the mirror. The way lips appear between knots and arms. The way hair f...

Jordan Lehn for Into The Wild

One of the challenges I ran into when I first started traveling was finding locations while I was on the road. My early trips were before the days of GPS, Smart Phones, or Pocket Scout...all the things that make finding places so much easier now. Its hard to believe my first cross country trip was done with an atlas.

Now I have a pretty solid strategy for finding shoot locations now. I pretty much google the town that I am in and the word waterfall. I'm not necessarily looki...

Sierra McKenzie for Temperance

The cold winter, colds and the flu has really inhibited my productivity. I think I've spent four weeks of 2015 so far sick, but I've still fit in a couple of shoots in, and am always trying new things in the home studio.

For this shoot with Sierra McKenzie I brought a new mirror into the Temperance set, so that I can get different shoot angles whiles still shooting reflections, which gives me another tool for composition. This one is about the same size as the mirror that is attached to ...

Bae for The Jungle

I've been traveling to Rio Grande National Forest since my very first road trip in 2009. Vaunt and I have shot there a little bit, but this time I had the opportunity to work with Bae Suicide. We shot in incredibly cold weather as the sun was setting high up in the mountains.

Southern Colorado is really a special place, and I was so happy that Bae was able to make the drive down from Denver to make these photos happen. To make these I focused on using the sun as back lighting...

A portrait Session with June St Paul

If you live on the east coast especially in New York or Pennsylvania then you know that New Jersey is a state typically relegated to multiple negative stereotypes, but a few of us have found a beautiful oasis in the Pine Barrens of southern Jersey. Its our summertime watering hole for swimming, shooting, and a generally off the beaten path. We call it secret lake.

Last summer I took a trip to our favorite spot with June St. Paul. Mostly we were all looking to swim, but I was lucky enoug...

Sash Suicide for The Jungle

Sorry for my absence the past couple of days. I managed to get sick, and haven't really gotten much done at all aside from the sleeping, eating, and dayquil/nyquil ingestion.

I did manage to get one shoot completely edited this week though! I spent an afternoon with Sash Suicide shooting up in Malibu my most recent trip. We shot some retro outdoors work, and I mostly experimented with what I can do with the Sigma 85mm F1.4. Its nice to work with somebody so calm in front of the camera ...

Nicole Vaunt and Anastasia Arteyeva for Temperance

I've wanted to work with Anastasia since the first time I saw a photo of her. Her ability to express/emote in every photo she is a part of is really unparalleled, and the way she moves in front of the camera is really magical to witness.

I was very nervous when the opportunity for us to collaborate presented itself. I'm always very nervous the first time I work with somebody who I feel has made so much amazing work, and who I want to not let down. The first shoot can translate into bei...

Nicole Vaunt PNW for Into The Wild and 2015 Calendar

Oregon has been one of my favorite states in the country for a long time. Every trip there I find a new place, a new location that I'd never heard of that I need to see. Thors Well, Cape Kiwanda, Silver Falls, Abiqua Falls, The Columbia River Gulch, Crater Lake, and so on. Vaunt and I decided that for 2015 we wanted to do a calendar doing our favorite thing, nudes outdoors, to celebrate this gorgeous state.

So I picked her up in Seattle after having spent a month apart, and we traveled ...

Redwoods National Park for The Rising Lands

Until 2014 I hadn't even been to Redwoods National Park. When you leave San Fransisco heading north you have a really long winding drive up the coast to the Oregon boarder, from which Redwoods is only about 15 minutes, or you can shoot up I-5 save yourself a couple of hours of tight fisted foggy road driving. Also, I really didn't understand how to take pictures of gigantic trees.

This year my buddy Steven (thisnormallife.tumblr.com) convinced me that we should stop on my February trip, ...

Nicole Vaunt for Into The Wild

I missed the leaves changing color from 2007-2012. I caught a tiny bit in 2013, but mostly just leaves on the ground, which is fine and all, but fall in the north east is one of the most beautiful times of year. It just seemed that I was either away, or an early winter storm decided to ruin the season before it even got the chance to begin, but last year (2014) I finally got it.

All of the stars aligned for Vaunt and I to steal away to the woods near our house, and shoot in the autumn co...

A Portrait Session with Ari Dee

I was lucky enough to work with Ari once the beginning of 2014 on my trip through LA the night before I left for Big Sur. I knew immediately that she was somebody I was going to try and work with every time I came though town. This shoot I was really focusing on exploring creating images with a subtle kink focus. Stockings, garters, feet, small hints of eroticism playing in the combination of window and lamp light.

All of these were shot with my sigma 85mm F1.4 to better isolate the sub...

Venom for Into The Wild

I've been all over this country the past couple of years. One of the few major cities I hadn't managed to make it to was San Diego. This trip Venom convinced me to make the trip down, so that she could show me what I had been missing. Over the course of three days we shot and we shot and we shot. From forests to desert and the ocean San Diego is surrounded by all sorts of beautiful natural landscape.

Most of these are from Cabrillo National Monument sunrise our first day, and Sunset Cl...

Dimples and Damsel for The Jungle and Into The Wild

Not really known for its majestic landscape, but full of amazing people to photograph, Ohio has been a difficult place to find locations in the past. After looking around online a bunch I found a great spot just out of town for my shoot with Damsel and Dimples. None of the locals had heard of Hayden Falls, so when we set off to shoot we didn't really know what we were in for.

Normally a hike to a waterfall is a scenic trek up a river, through forests, or climbing up into mountains. This...

London Andrews for Into The Wild

One of the the best things that can happen is being asked to do work that would absolutely have loved to anyway. That is what has happened the past two years with London commissioning me to shoot her yearly calendar.

London gave me the opportunity to work with her well before I was really ready. She has always been an amazing model with a following that is passionate and huge in numbers, and at the time I was 19 and really just beginning to figure this photography thing out, a...

Life on the Road and Glacier National Park on Dropbox

For me all of this is somehow finding a balance between work and play. I think if you take anything you love, and make it your livelihood eventually that love will turn sour. There are days where I just don't want to pick up the camera. There are even more days where spending 14 hours in front of the computer fiddling with images trying to make uniformly edited sets, or perfect prints, or just organizing 20TB worth of photographic images makes me want to stay in bed all day. It seems silly t...

Hattie Watson for Temperance on Dropbox

Hattie and I have been trying to meet up and shoot all year with no success. We've both made Philadelphia our home base, but both of us traveling 6 months or more a year leaves very little overlap in availability, but we finally made it happen last night.

I'm trying to get a couple more shoots in so that I have some new images to use for a gallery show I have coming up this February. Getting ready for a gallery show is always sort of difficult to me because as soon as I start ...

Gifford Pinchot National Forest with Bully, Thumbelina, and Apnea on Dropbox

Sometimes you go looking for a location with all the information you think you need, and you fail. My first attempt to find Panther Creek Falls was with Vaunt, while we were working on our PNW 2015 Calendar. We drove miles and miles into the forest at the base of mount hood looking for the right pull off, waiting in the rain, asking for directions before we finally gave up, and headed to the Oregon Coast. That failure just made my desire to shoot at this beautiful waterfall more intense thoug...

Mika Lovely and Nicole Vaunt for Temperance on Dropbox

I have been exploring eroticism through photography for almost as long as I have known how to use a camera. Since finishing my series Journey To The End of The Night, and embarking on 50 Models 50 States it had sort of taken a back burner. Living in a new place for me means learning how to be creative within the limitations of that space all over again. Before where I had giant windows, natural light, and 18 foot ceilings I now found myself with much smaller rooms, and primarily working with ...

Reed Suicide for The Jungle on Dropbox

I've been traveling to Columbus, Ohio since my first road trip in 2009 when Sophie King promised me tacos if I stopped through. Having the spent the vast majority of the money I had saved up working for Hewlett Packard doing data entry 60 hours a week, and really wanting to work with her anyway, there was no way I was going to turn down a free meal. Those two days put Columbus on the map for me, and I made an amazing friend.

Flash forward to my last trip. I had reached out to Reed about...
