Yesterday's photoshoot

Hey everyone, I'm in Texas! 

I shot with Dan Richards yesterday in Dallas and did this fun photo set! Hopefully I'll be able to share more soon! I just wanted to drop in and let you all know I'm thinking about ya, I'm just slammed with work while traveling. 

I'll get home for Thanksgiving though, and then get to working on my customs and more updates :)

Sometimes I take pretty weird jobs

This video is about a year or so old, but a lot of people got a big kick out of it, so I wanted to share :)

Arizona travels!

Hey everyone, I just got back from Arizona and am still trying to let myself relax a little from a very exhausting trip. On the plus side, it was extremely productive! I took photos of 4 different girls, I did custom videos for my high pledging patrons, and I took a ton of polaroids! In the mean time, I'm working on a bonus photoset from way back in the day (by Mobius Photo)! Give me 24-48 hours and I'll put it in your drop boxes!

Another teaser!

I got the chance to photograph the very cute Eclipse Monday this morning. It is going to take me a month or two to edit everything, but I had to share one!

AZ Shootout!

Hey patrons! I have been slammed with work at the Arizona shootout so I haven't had much time to be online, but I wanted to share a quick photograph I took of the stunning Jin N Tonic today. I had a spare 20 minutes, and she was sweet enough to let me take a few photographs of her for patreon (to come). I just had to share one, because.. well, look at her! I think of her as a sorta punk rock Marilyn Monroe. She's an elegant beauty, but with a demeanor that says "I can kick your ass!"

Titania's visit

You guys! Thank you sooooo much for helping me get Titania to Los Angeles for a visit and photoshoot!! Titania and I have been close friends for many years, and we hadn't seen each other in over a year and a half, so I really needed a dose of BFF. Titania and I started off her visit by having a big yard sale. I invited all of my model and stylist friends over to purchase wardrobe that I'm done shooting with. I tend to collect a lot of unique pieces because I'm a picker, and Titania was runnin...

New tiers added!

I've been getting a lot of PM's about custom photo and video work, so I've officially added two more tiers. One for print collectors for fab vintage 600 polaroids, and the other for custom sets. 

Here's the deal :)

Customs will include either a photo set (approx 25 photos) or a private video of myself according to your request. This will be amateur content that is self made, so please be aware that it is not going to have fantastic production. My limits are CLASSIC Playbo...

Great Stuff to come!

Hey guys,

This month I got to use my new ring flash, my new lensbaby and get some great images with Chelsea Christian and Titania Lyn! I really can't wait to share everything with you all in the coming months. November will feature some of my work with Lillias Right (whom I photographed last month). Hopefully I'll get the matching video finished in the next few days! It looks great, but I forgot how much work it is to do video editing!

I am planning to add a custom reward for next month!...

Bonus Set!

Those pledging $5 or more, I'm adding a bonus item or two, so make sure and visit your dropbox links I provided at the beginning of the month! This is a photo set taken for my site a few years back, and I just loved the images so much (by Lorenzo Sperlonga), I thought I'd share them with you all :) Check em out!

Sunrise on the water

I have a lot of photos to sort through from my brief trip to Florida in late Sept. I took a bunch with my new Lensbaby of Chelsea Christian, and they are just gorgeous. Dark and mysterious and eerie in the swampy waters. The images of Chelsea will go up at the start of next month! I wanted to quickly throw a few landscape pics up to share from my images of the sunrise from the back of a boat. 5am wakeup call? No problem. 

Stunning!

Art and Nudity

I have been apprehensive to flaunt my patreon as the ultimate location to see nudity, and I want to delve deeper into my reasoning behind this.

I love nudity. I love fashion, I love costuming. I have a very European mindset when it comes to nudity in photography. Sometimes it fits the project, and sometimes it is the best option for the environment. I don't want to bullshit people though, because there will absolutely be clothed sets on here. This site is going to cater to my art as a p...

Chiara in the Pink Lakes

Unfortunately I really didn't get to take many photos, but I wanted to share the few I was able to capture of Chiara while in Sicily. This Italian model had such a wonderful beauty and grace about her movements, and the atmosphere in the salt lakes was so serene that you would have no idea that she was probably EXTREMELY uncomfortable. As I mentioned in one of my early blogs, the salt lakes will sting any cut or scrape you have, and the bottom of the ocean floor is all crystallized and very h...

Europe Blog #5

Barcelona; our final stop on the European vacation. 

I don't know how we crammed in as much as we did, but Barcelona kept us busy! We arrived in the evening and went straight to the hostel-which was quite difficult for us to find. The GPS was insistent that it was on a different road than it actually was, and trying to navigate on narrow streets that we weren't familiar with was frustrating! Once we finally found the hostel, we couldn't find a place to park the car, so we quickly d...

Europe Blog #4

An hour or two outside of San Sebastian is a small city called Maya. It is also Basque, and there was also an old fortress here, although it was nothing like Hondarribia. This was called the fortress of Amaiur, and it was quite interesting-lots of history! There was a large battle of the Castilian invasion in 1512, and another in 1522 called the Battle of Amaiur, (it was the last Navarrese stronghold to resist the Spanish). Pieces of the fortress were laying all around the ground. It was defi...

Bonus Photo Set!

My good friend Vassanta photographed me in Hawaii.  I have been posting some of these photos censored on instagram, but thought it would be nice to show them in their intended beauty. 

The background is a tree that had burned down on a  beach in Kauai. It left black soot all over my body, and the ground was tough between sand and bits of bark that were all in pieces on the ground. The swirls from the burnt out bark were just stunning and some of the patterns between figure and t...

San Sebastian:

We boarded our train and 5 or 6 hours later, we found ourselves on the outskirts of San Sebastian which is the north western boarder of Spain next to France. It is where the Basque people are from.


Unfortunately the rental car I had booked was not at the airport as I thought it would be. It was in the center of the city. When I called to sort their location, I found out that they had closed for the day (at 8pm), so we took a cab to our hotel and decided to deal...

Europe Part 2 Blog

Paris:


From here everything is a blur. I feel like a brief synopsis would be better than strong details.. so here we go! I met up with my man-boy-lover? I'm not sure how I should describe my love interest, but he does deserve some anonymity so I won't give many details - but he and I met up in Paris. We took a train from the airport to our private residence for the trip, and immediately took showers and tried to relax.. however there is very little relaxing when you get to a new cou...

Europe Part 1 Blog

(Hey guys, I'm going to put this out over the next day or so, in parts. I had trouble putting it in my dropbox, so the blog will be here).

My oh my, where to start!
This is my first blog with Patreon after a thrilling trip to Europe, so I think I'll begin here. 

 I flew from Los Angeles to Montreal to Paris to Sicily. All in all, it took about 20 hours, and then I had a 2 hour drive to the Villa where I was staying. *Total exhaustion* I tend to sleep well on airplanes...

Sept Patrons!

Hey everyone! For those who pledged $5 and up in Sept, there should now be folders visible below with passes to my dropbox according to what level you subscribed. If you can't see it, please let me know! I may take a day or two to get everything up, so keep checking. I'm in the process of loading my approx 400 snapchats so it will probably take a few hours to pop up. I apologize for duplicates of snaps, my phone saved some of them multiple times. Either way, I think you all will be very happy- m...

Titania's Dance

During a lighting lesson from Jose Luis (a few years ago), I took a series of photographs of Titania Lyn. These images happened to pop up in my memories today, and I just gave the photo set a fresh look.  These were a really stunning series of images, and Titania is wonderfully talented at flowing from pose to pose. Giving the photos another once over is inspiring me to edit a few more for patreon in the near future.

The outfit was from an original Vegas show and the hairstyle w...

Music video vixen!

I have done a few music videos over the years, but this one is unique because I had to work with a male model! Trust me when I say it really pushed my comfort levels, there's nothing like having to stage intimacy with a stranger. All in all though, I think it turned out really beautiful. David Arkenstone and Nahara are wonderfully talented musicians and I hope you all love the final cut as much as I do!
