Lee Ann - Des Arts

A few months ago I revisited a shoot I did with Ravynn on the 10-year anniversary of that shoot and I wanted to continue that tradition with this shoot with Lee Ann... but since I still have literally every RAW I've ever taken, I also wanted to change it up a bit. I'm going to be treating these images as if I had done the shoot today. This means I am importing the RAWs into Lightroom, doing a full top to bottom pass on each image, giving them a fresh look wi...

Anais Dior - VKS

This set is bonkers, Anais is quite literally bursting out of this sweater. The video is also something to behold, and not just because the new plant I added to the back corner really makes the background pop. Y'all noticed that right?

Enjoy!

Lindsay Muse - Hotel Majestic

I can't believe it's April already. I have lost almost all concept of time and space, physical space that is, because the entire family is home 24/7. 

We have two Lindsay sets this month, woo! We were both in such a weird headspace when shooting that day. We had just gotten done watching the official white house speech stating the coronavirus is actually a thing to worry about and, politics aside, everyone in the Bay Area had already been well aware given how our case numbers were ...

Bella Burke and Mkay Blondie - Monolith BLUE

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working with both Bella and Mkay, they just had so much chemistry and were open to just about anything and it really shows. First we did Monolith RED with Mkay being the dominant one, then we switched roles, LED colors, got some new outfits and this time around Bella was the dominate one.. until Mkay naturally took over again, haha.

Hope you folks are being safe!

Lindsay Muse - Mirror, Mirror

Lindsay hasn’t modelled in some time and has since gone through a multitude of life experiences. For one, not long after we shot for the Bay City series (I think the same day?) she was hit by a car after getting mugged. It left her with a significant contusion that left a significant bruise on her leg for almost a year! Thankfully she’s fine now, and also quite married 👀I actually had a chance to meet her new husband, but we weren’t able to shake hands because of coronav...

JMO - Photobooth

BOY things sure have changed in the last week eh? I hope all you folks are doing well and doing what you can do stay safe. Over here I've got the whole fam home for at least the next 2 weeks at least. I just did a shoot with Lindsay in San Francisco and I spent I don't even know how long disinfecting my gear with wipes (I rode public transportation there and back). It's actually all still out in the garage, hah. But things are good here in regards to content for the foreseeable future for sur...

Heather Monique - Water

Got another Heather set for you guys! We've got a ton of photos, a really fantastic 7+ minute video, a full processing walkthrough and a BTS timelapse with commentary. Basically the full Heather deluxe package, hah. Some of those links are available below, others will be sent to those in their respective tiers. 

As always, I really love working with Heather because we've reached a point in our work relationship where I can book locations and build scenes that are custom tailored ju...

Anais Dior - On Paper

This is it! We're finally retiring the On Paper series! 

Twenty five women showcasing their modeling skills as well as their personal passions. Singers, writers, photographers, gamers and, to cap things off, a mother-to-be. Yes, m'folks, Miss Anais Dior is indeed pregnant and I made the call to step outside of my comfort zone and try what could be considered a maternity...

Mkay & Bella - Monolith RED

Good morning! Having the chance to work with Mkay and Bella has actually been life changing. Not just because it was my first time working with two models who were both professionals and very very comfortable being intimate with one another *cough*, but also because it marked a point in my Patreon career where Patreon themselves have instructed me that certain images and video from these shoots are too exp...

Anais Dior - Photobooth

 Anais was in town for a few days and came by the house to knock out a few sets. I still had my photobooth backdrop built so we tried on a couple outfits and took an amazing set of photos.. like damn. I put together another BTS video since I feel I have this set pretty much mastered (Did zero color work, all done in camera!), and it features not only footage from Anais's shoot, but also BTS footage from the upcoming set with Jennifer Morris. 

I want to remind everyone that I n...

New Anais Dior coming soon

Just wanted to share this image from our shoot today. I'll have this set out before the end of the month forrrrrrr suurrrreeeee o/\o

JMO - VKS

*Added dropbox and vimeo link below, sorry!*

That's right, I have Virgin-Killing Sweaters now and we're gonna fucking use them. Jennifer Morris is up first in the classic model with cutout. The fabric is super stretchy, as you can see, and makes for a very sexy/playful video. Of which the extended ($30+ tier) has just loads of nudity, something JMO has only ...

Heather Monique - Summit View

Hey ULTRAWIDE MONITOR fans, this set is for you! 

Shot this using my ISCO panoramic projector lens which has spent the better part of the past year or so on the shelf. I love the look I get with this thing, both from the resulting image and from the model when they see this monstrosity. The problem is it's incredibly hard to pull focus on it without ratcheting up the aperture to f8+. I explain all this...

JMO - Monolith Sigma

Hey Jennifer Morris dropped by and we shot this (and other stuff)! It's a little noisier than I'd like, mostly due to having to crank the iso a bit more than I would've liked because the camera just could not get focus for some reason. Thankfully, though, we got a bunch of great shots regardless. The video, and of course the extended video, is fucking gggggrreeaattttt tho. JMO is really getting comfortable being nude and it's starting to show, but I also strongly feel like this backd...

Photobooth - Mkay Blondie and Bella Burke

THAT'S RIGHT MY FOLKS WE GOT TWO OF 'EM and boy was it worth the money. These two were just having a blast making a huge mess in my studio, but that's the price I pay to test out a new background! Mkay, one of the highest voted in our Bring Back Survey, always brings it when we shoot, and Bella, the newcomer 'round 'ere, is right on her level. Expect to see more from these two in the near future.

2010 - Rae

Actually, let’s start in 2007 for a minute. Rae was a close friend of mine back when I lived in Vegas, in fact, Rae was my first model after I got my first DSLR, for only enough time for one shoot before I moved to SF tho, and those pictures sucked. 

Once I got settled I started hitting the clubs and met a French DJ named Maud who wanted me to take artsy promo pictures of her. She loved them and sent them out to all her French friends, one of which asked me to take n...

Marisol Sollyluna - Monolith Gamma

Well, all my text here got deleted for some reason so let me tldr:

This is Marisol and this is one of two scenes in front of the Monolith installation. I have a shoot planned this upcoming Friday with both MkBlondie and Bella Burke and I will be getting something from that shoot  out before the end of the month for sure. I also may or may not have a shoot with JMO sometimes this month, depending on our schedules. With Mkay/Bella I plan on doing one Monolith entry and hopefully two ...

Heather Monique - Monolith Sigma

Ended the year with Heather, starting the year with Heather. I think I just happen to have a lot of Heather sets pending that I need to go through.. Anyways, for this Monolith entry, I slathered Heather with baby oil and set the lights to about as warm as they can get and we shot some of the best photos and videos we've done to date. The extended video is certainly a must-see!

Heather New Years!

BOY I just couldn't resist that pun, sorry :-x

Folks, it's been a great year and an even better decade. Above (and far below) you'll find the latest set from Heather for which I had dusted off my Canon 6D and 50mm 1.4 to get this slightly analog look. I love the Canon 50mm because it has a natural barrel distortion that draws your eyes towards the center and creates sort of an unspoken vignetting effect, on top of the actual vignetting that it has. My Sony 55m 1.8 is crisp all the way o...

It's time for The Bring Back Survey 2020!

Last year you guys gave me a ton of great feedback on which models to bring back for 2019 and you guys overwhelmingly voted for Heather, Jennifer, Anais, Juno and Charle (you guys have broad taste!). I was able to work with all of them this year, some of them several times. More importantly, it also tells me where I should save my money! So please take a few moments to vote on this form as it will only help make 2020 that much better of a year!

Leo Velo - Monolith Gamma

Man, being sick over the holidays really messes with your.. everything, apparently. For a little background, I use Google Chrome Canary to manage all my photography related business, as it makes it easier to keep active on both my gaming and photography stuff (gaming is on Google Chrome). Lately, though, Canary and Patreon have not been playing well together and Patreon doesn't want to work with ...

Leo Velo - Monolith Sigma

I hope you folks are having an awesome holiday season. I'm currently battling the flu (literally hacking up a lung while typing) but I still need to get these sets out! I have a lot of Monolith shoots to unload as well as some fresh Heather Monique scenes that'll carry us well into January. I also have an entire day set aside for MK Blondie and 2019-12-27 02:01:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Heather Monique - Twin Peaks

I wanted to save this for Christmas but Heather was eager to get this out to you guys quickly sooo Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve! 

This is a complete package set with a full processing walkthrough, super long extended video (11min!), and a unique BTS vid where I’m including a slightly edited 360 degree video that you can watch from your phone (albeit the detail would be lost) or slap on a VR headset and get immersed in the shoot itself. I also rendered a normal...

Erika Winslow - Spotlight

December is typically when I dig through the archives and try to find any sets that slipped through the cracks or perhaps were on indefinite hold for a publication that never released (love when that happens). This set, featuring Erika Winslow, is one of those. The processing video goes a bit more indepth with how I achieved the lighting (as simple as it looks, it took a bit of engineering), and the overall style is not something I do often, but the venue demanded it. Anyways, Iâ...

Delila Darling - Monolith Sigma

Delila is one to bring many different wigs to a shoot, but this is the first time she showed up with a straight up buzz. It's actually the main reason I really pushed to get her over in front of the Monolith installation! 

I've got quite a few more sets to wrap in front of this set before I tear it down. We still have Leo Velo, Heather Monique, plus an Mk Blondie+Bella Burke duo coming between now and January.  I also have some new Heather content I literally just shot this we...

Heather Monique - Monolith Gamma

 Heather has just been killing it lately. The two Monolith entries I have featuring her are ridiculously sexy and certainly bringing out a much more experimental side of her. The extended videos for both entries are also something to behold tbh.. Btw Monolith Sigma (the second scene on this set) will be released in December.

Regarding this particular scene - There are a couple shots where you can see some white EL Wire wrapped around her torso. Initially I had her wear it ...

Joy - Couch Boudoir

Newcomer Joy was a jo.. wait, I think I already used this joke. Well, she’s great and for being as new as she is, she totally rocked this shoot. I shot this in the midst of working on perfecting the Monolith setup, you actually might be able to see strands of LED wire hanging around or a power supply stuffed away in the background…

Happy Thanksgiving and, more importantly, HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Typically all patrons get 50% off my 2019-11-28 16:33:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Delila Darling - Monolith Gamma

Delila visits the bay area at least once a year and we almost always try and link up to shoot. Her timing on this one couldn’t have been better tho.. I’m just kicking off shooting the Monolith series which is a *loosely* dance and performance themed series and guess what? Delila has years of live performance experience from dance to being in a literal traveling circus. 

For this set, I borrowed an LED fiber whip and that seemed to work just okay as a prop, the bigg...
