Vintage InnaBG
I love Inna's classic look. Add a fantastic studio setting that adds to the vintage feel and you have great retro photo opportunity.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lena several times and every time has been fantastic. This was a location that Lena recommended and it was great. She found another location where we will shoot again soon.

Leonor is an aspiring model I met in Hawaii and she brought a lot of energy to the shoot. I used a single strobe firing into a white umbrella for lighting.

Denisa Strakova wears the perfect pair of shorts.

Who doesn't like to use a bed as a trampoline?

Every now and then I get a couple who approaches me for a shoot. Ariel had just done a magazine shoot in a skin-tight leather suit using a motorcycle as a prop and was anxious to shoot again with her boyfriend. This was his introduction to the world of modeling and he couldn't have asked for a better instructor than his girlfriend.

Collibrina and I agreed to do a tough girl theme so she dug into her closet to pull out items she thought conveyed the tough look. The pants she wore reminded me of the 1930s era gangster look.

It often is difficult to set up shoots overseas because it is not always easy to find models ahead of time. Much of my business comes through word-of-mouth and Instagram, and neither are very useful for travel notices. I was fortunate to find Gracja, and she was wonderful to work with. This is where word-of-mouth becomes important; it turns out that her roommate is a full-time model. Now I have two women I can work with next time I am in Warsaw.

Ended up sleeping later than usual today. Of course, that was coupled with going to bed later than normal. I'm looking forward to being able to go back to work and scheduling more shoots. Until then, here are some shots of Allie Summers.

Do you ever wonder what ballerinas do when they are at home and relaxing? Well, Viktory is here to help you find out!

It sometimes is a tough call whether to process a photo as color or black and white. Color is a distraction and does not always fit in a picture. This backdrop, though, screamed black and white.

I love Am Montoya's classic Latin look and how she carries herself in front of the camera. Her beauty begs for a retro feel in postprocessing.

It was a warm day when we shot so Alexis was happy to shed a layer to help stay cool.

I have a request for more of Renee, so here she is! Renee was a new to modeling and jumped right into to shooting nude. She was perfectly comfortable and didn't hesitate with her posing. Here I primarily used the window as a key light but used a single strobe firing into a white umbrella.

I always show up to a shoot with at least three speedlights but in most cases I just use one. There is a lot you can do with just a single light and these photos are examples.

This was one of the few days during my visit that the sky was visible, it was only partly cloudy for a change. Of course, that only lasted for a few hours in the morning and then the heavy cloud cover returned. I wanted to use the light from the window since it was so nice and soft, but wanted to avoid any heavy shadowing. Therefore, I used the windowlight as my key light and I set up a single strobe firing through a shoot-through umbrella from across the room as fill.  ...

Willa is one of those models who appears in almost every fashion and art magazines you can name. It was a joy working with her; she is funny and full of energy.

I love Kim's leather jacket, so naturally I had to get plenty of variations with the jacket. This was one of her first modeling gigs but she quickly has become a model in demand.

Ariel Taylor and I went through the Maryland countryside looking for places to shoot. The search was almost as fun as the shoot itself!

Brittany O'Bryon is a local college student who wanted to try a bit of modeling before she graduated. She was fearless and was willing to try anything. She also had a lot of ideas that she brought to the shoot and we had a great time doing a lot of different looks. It's hard to go wrong, though, with the classic American look of a white shirt with a denim miniskirt!

The steadily warming weather gets me to look forward to shooting outdoors again. I've had to cancel a number of shoots because of COVID-19, but it looks like there is hope on the horizon that we will be able to slowly and carefully get back to work, just as the weather is getting comfortable. I'm looking forward to shooting again!

Alexis is a fan favorite around here. I get requests for many of the women with whom I've worked, but Alexis gets the greatest number of requests. She and I have worked together for a number of years and I always look forward to what comes next. If anyone has a boat, or knows where in the DC area we can rent one for a reasonable price, let me know. That is one shoot we have not crossed off her bucket list.

Lena brought me to this spot for our shoot. It was a place she said she hung out at when she was in high school. It served as a perfect setting for our shoot.

One of the reasons I enjoy visiting Hawaii is the opportunity to work with Manami.

I worked with Renee in Pennsylvania. Our first shoot got cancelled because she was feeling ill en route to the shoot, but she quickly rescheduled and we spent several hours together. I originally planned to post this on Saturday but I received a request for this from a patron who saw her photo on my Instagram feed so I switched it with the post I originally planned for today.

Alexis and I have been shooting together for a number of years. We've done all sorts of genres and have shot in a wide range of places, from fields to airport runways. I've shot with her more than I have anyone else and we continue to work down her shoot bucket list. Now, if only we could find a boat that we can use, we would be able to cross off the final item on her list.

I hope your time at home is going ravishing. I'm trying to spread out the work I have to do around the house because it looks like I'll be at home for another month before I have to go into work...maybe. I pulled out the powerwash yesterday and blasted the concrete stairs in front of my house. If it is nice tomorrow, I might do the driveway. I probably also should do the deck... Take care and stay healthy!

Here are more from my set in Poland with the wonderful Gracja. I was fortunate enough to shoot with her before concerns about COVID-19 closed off Europe. I ended up having to cut my trip short and cancel some shoots, but I managed to get back to the US safely and I avoided the madness that started the next day with Americans rushing back home.
