Analogue With Jessica Luminarra | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was one of those really good days.

What started of with a slow awakening to two dogs next to me in bed quickly turned into my morning routine, coffee, breakfast and Jessica's arrival. We planned to spend the day together doing what we love. Chatting, shooting and eating. We started with a quick catch up; by quick I actually mean about an hour and a half. It has been just shy of a year since we last saw one another so we had much to talk about. Even though we talk on...

Domme With Meredith Devine

I will keep this short and sweet. Another killer look shot with Meredith and more to come from this evening of shooting. Enjoy!

Please keep in mind, my main focus and goal is to stay within a models comfort zone and strictly adhere to that. I have several friends and models that are comfortable shooting implied and even topless, but wish to not have the uncensored images shared anywhere. As I know this is Patreon where I do share my uncensored work, it is with Meredith's wish...

Some gels, black gloves, heels and that is about it. This set goes live today at 2 P.M. PST to all $5+ Patrons!

Analogue At The Huntington Library | A Collection Of Polaroids

Something a little different today. Still film, just no models in the shots.

Yesterday was the first time in over two years that my parents had come into the city for a visit. Now, I must preface with the fact that they only live not but an hour and some change away. I do believe that the total miles is about 42 miles away. They are homebodies at heart and spend all of their time in the beautiful property. It is a rarity that they ever leave and take day trips anywhere, so th...

Fringe With Ariel Jean

Just a couple of days after Ariel and I had last shot, we were texting back and forth as we normally do and she made me privy to something that happened in her day. She had set up a shoot with a photographer and he unfortunately canceled last minute. She had her make up done, hair straightened and outfits in a bag ready to go. I told her to drive up to my studio and we would shoot whatever we wanted to have fun with. Ariel became quickly elated and said "I'll have to change a couple outfits I...

Analogue With Meredith Devine | A Collection Of Polaroids

Once again before I begin typing, Patreon is telling me to 'tell a story'. So that, I will.

Meredith and I have had an array of different shoots, some planned and some impromptu. It has become very apparent that we seem to work better together in the impromptu setting. These Polaroids are no different. Now, that is not to say our planned shoots complete with mood boards, talks of outfits, poses and locations. Meredith and I both have just always loved our captures from shooti...

Analogue With Hades | An SX-70 Type Polaroid

A single exposure for the evening. Last week Hades and I once again got together for a trip to LowBoy, a local bar/restaurant here in Los Angeles that we have now heavily frequented. In fact, the head waiter recognized us the last time we were there. However, before we headed over to LowBoy, I went up to Hades' apartment to check it out for the first time. She lives in an old building with a creepy little elevator that is behind a literal door. There is a beautiful fire escape right off to th...

Film Strips With Reed | A Kodak Portra 400 35mm Film Strip

While I was scanning some negatives of my friend Derek yesterday I came across this exposure and absolutely had to scan it. There are some frames that you end up forgetting about and this was one of those.

I have several rolls I have to send in this week and I will be doing some much needed scanning of recent 35mm and 120. For now, enjoy this exposure!

Analogue With Hades | A Collection of Polaroids

A little over a year.

The last time I saw Hades was at the end of January 2021. During that time she told me, "I am never coming back to Los Angeles again." Well, a year later she is now a resident of Los Angeles and lives not but ten minutes away from me. Needless to say, I am quite excited bout this for many reasons. Hades and I have always had a special type of friendship that I love and adore. The fact that she is now only a few miles away from me instead of a 6 hour driv...

Analogue With Lu Bellah | A Collection Of Polaroids

For as close of friends and Lu and I are, we have a knack for letting too much time lapse in between when we see one another. What felt like just a few weeks ago was actually last May. Before last May it was May of 2020.

This get together was almost mirrored exactly to our previous time. Lu came over mid day after I had finished a quick shoot in the morning. It is always fascinating when so much time passes, but you pick up right where you left off. Lu brought an outfit of my...

Analogue With Brit | A Collection of Polaroids

Brit and I have followed one another for some time now. Just like most, I cannot say where it began and what connected us on social media. What I can say is that she recently posted a photo of her in this exact outfit with the 'Scream' mask and I was immediately drawn to it. Between the outfit, her shape and the nostalgia of the 'Scream' movies, I immediately messaged her and asked to shoot it.

I not typically one to shoot things like this. This being something or a 'concept'...

Yellow With Christina Garcia

The second part of the day in Long Beach with Christina.

When we were picking outfits for the first look in the backyard near the pool she pulled out this yellow dress and I immediately fell in love. With the colors she used in her make up I knew it was going to be perfect for inside in the living room. After a short break and some more coffee Christina slipped into the sheer yellow dress, perched up in the corner on the living room where the light was the best and we got to ...

Poolside With Christina Garcia

For the first time in a long time I shot outside of my studio. It just so helped that it was with one of my favorite ladies that I regularly work with, Christina. We do not chat often, but it is one of those friendship that you always pick up where you left off no matter how much time goes by in between chats. Randomly one day she asked me if we could work together again soon and we ended up setting up this very day. Christina let me know that her boss invited her to shoot at her home, which ...

Home Is Where The Heart Is With Ariel Jean

There is a select and very small handful of people that I will always work with. That same handful are some of my closest friends. There is something vastly different to me in capturing someone whom you have an intimate relationship with versus casting someone of whom you do not know at all. Now, I am not saying those images of strangers cannot be powerful, but it just simply inspires me to work with my close friends.

This is one of those shoots that does that very thing for ...

New Year's Greetings

A couple weeks overdue, but Happy New Year everyone. I got all of my t's crossed and i's dotted in regards to the backend of the newest and latest Patreon community guidelines change. Long story short, I have to collect photo's of ID's for every person I choose to upload here, whether it is a clothed or nude shoot, guy or girl, none of it matters. I am labeled on the platform as an 'adult creator' so, I have to follow the rules. I have gathered all ID's for my recent shoots and can finally st...

Analogue With Meredith Devine | A Collection Of Polaroids

Another evening shoot in the studio, this time with my dear friend Meredith. When Meredith and I get together at least one camera comes out whether we planned on shooting or not. The funniest part of Meredith and I working together is that we always seems to end up shooting within the same two weeks of a year as the previous year. I do not really understand how we keep unknowingly planning it like that, but hey. I will take it.

Flash, gels and some moody spotlit images to end...

Analogue With Ariel Jean | A Collection Of Polaroids

If you cannot tell, this is one of my favorite ladies to work with. I actually received a message not too long ago that asked why I always shoot with the same people and not expand to shooting others. Well, long story short I have had way too many headaches with shooting new faces for many reasons and I do not have the time or energy to stress on things like that. Plus, I would rather just capture those that are close to me, it means more.

Just a few days after our shoot in A...

Analogue With Ariel Jean | A Collection Of Polaroids

This shoot was planned at the very last minute that it possibly could. Ariel had just moved into her new home, she was telling me about the morning glow of light in her bedroom and that very night I was sleeping on her couch waiting for the sun to rise the next morning to capture her in a natural and candid state. This is the first time I have been able to shoot something like this in years and it felt so good.

We, of course, shot an assortment of different films and digital ...

Analogue With Christina Garcia | A Collection Of Polaroids

This shoot was the first time in a long time that I drove to a location for a proper shoot. Mostly and for the recent past, I have solely shot in my studio. There are a few reasons behind that, but we will not get into that right now.

Christina and I met at her bosses' house in Long Beach where I was greeted with a warm welcome, a lovely little dog that befriended me immediately and a stunning house with brilliant decor. Christina and I started off in the backyard in the pool...

Analogue With Amber Marie | A Collection Of 600 Type Polaroids

Earlier today Amber enlisted my help to further the professional reach of her new brand Weedndr Surf Co., a surf board bag company. I remember when we first became friends she had just started the thought process behind this and now, a little over a year later, she has a finished product. Anything this woman puts her mind to she achieves so I felt obligated to help.

We shot some bags, march and a bucket hat. At the end, of course her shirt came off and we shot some quick Pola...

Analogue With Destiny Smith | A Collection Of Polaroids

A short stint in Los Angeles. Quite literally.

Destiny and her friend Paige both flew into L.A. for a little more than 48 hours. The tickets were cheap from Iowa and they wanted an excuse to get away for a weekend. It just kind of worked out that I was able to take their full day in Los Angeles off of work so I could show them around the city, check off some quintessential Los Angeles things from their bucket list and of course, shoot with Destiny.

They lande...

Analogue With Ariel Jean | A Couple Of Polaroids

A few weeks ago I ended up spending a little bit of time with my dear friend and her little one. The day was complete with dogs, a trip to a local fish taco spot and a conversation with a child about how she needs to eat real food and not just chips. I brought Kylea down to Orange County with me for the day so she can see her friend Ozzy, Ariel's Doberman puppy.

After fish tacos we spent the late afternoon lounging around her home playing with the dogs and catching up. Right ...

Don't Forget To Smile With Mara Ohara

The most recent time Mara came over for a shoot we just decided to have fun with it. She brought over a bunch of outfits, laid them out on one of my tables and we randomly sifted through things to sort out what we wanted to shoot. This was the last little look we shot that day. The light was hitting the windows just right creating a beautiful glow behind her, but not too much where it became heavily backlit; some of my least favorite lighting conditions.

My neighbor Nick let ...

A Slice Of Normalcy

Most people have Labor Day weekend off and perform relaxing, unwinding duties. Standing by a grill with a beer in hand, sitting in a backyard laughing with friends and taking a deep breath with not a care in the world; that's what comes to mind when I think about what other people did this past weekend. I on the other hand, worked bell to bell at my day job and did not do much else.

Today however, I had the day off. I was able to refill my fridge with fresh produce and grocer...

A Soft Glow With Amber Rose McConnell

A spur of the moment trip that ended up going completely awry, but then it was saved by this lovely lady.

I originally flew to Portland for a quick trip with another friend and she ended up bailing for most of the time we were suppose to shoot. I had booked this beautiful hotel on the east side of Portland and suddenly no one to shoot in it. I rattled through my head of whom I could possible have come over and put this space to good use. I got in contact with every person who...
