On Paper - Lindsay Muse aka Geektr0n

Lindsay was my long-time muse and (is still) one of my best friends. We've done countless shoots and probably 20+ scenes over the span of just a few years. She's since retired as a nude/implied model and spends her time pretty much doing whatever the fuck she wants. You can see a full write-up of my time working with Lindsay he...

On Paper - Corie Shannon

Corie Shannon is a free-spirited art model who is currently traveling the world doing all the cool shit you'd expect a free-spirited art model to do.. which includes working on a farm in Hawaii, obviously. Her tinkerbell look paired with a body that looks like it was hand-sculpted after the Venus de Milo statue made editing in post a complete breeze. On top of that, she was such a pleasure to have on set that w...

On Paper - Asha Etch

Asha Etch, a photographer, actress and model, showed up with this massive and beautiful mane of braids that she rocked during this set. If you check her Instagram feed you'll see just how versatile she is as a model, and if you check her photography feed you can get a glimpse of her talents as a photographer. Working with her was fantasti...

On Paper - Heather Monique

Heather Monique has no doubt become a household name around these parts - A passionate and hard working model with a one-of-a-kind exotic look. I've shot several scenes with her since this set was taken and each one has greatly exceeded my expectations. To no ones surprise, I am looking forward to continue working with Heather through 2018.

On Paper - Andrea D

Andrea is the kind of girl that loves guns, country music and showing off her bolt-ons.. "That's why I paid for them!" she told me. Her and I worked together REALLY early on in my photography career and we remained in-touch for the years following. Then about a few months ago, Andrea posts to social media that she's leaving california to move to Alaska.. ALASKA. Basically, she's saying she's not coming back SO I had to hit h...

On Paper - Shasta Wonder

Shasta Wonder is a 100% one of a kind beauty who you could argue was hand-crafted by some deity. I've worked with her a few times over the past couple of years and what I've learned is - her passion in modeling runs deep, but her love of M̶c̶D̶o̶n̶a̶l̶d̶'̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶n̶c̶h̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶s̶ fashion and clothing design runs deeper.

On Paper - Elen Moore

Elen M. is an absolutely stunning near six foot redhead.. Her legs were so long that I had a hard time keeping them contained within my 108" wide backdrop! She didn't have an opportunity to bring any props with her, but she has a cat whom she adores back home in Australia so Sundae made the perfect stand-in for this scene.

On Paper - Veronica LaVery

While we didn't have a prop that best fit Veronica's non-model hobby of being a film maker, we got close enough I think with this old film camera :-X. I know I know.. it's a stretch. This shoot is also particularly rare because Veronica only had blonde hair for a very short period of time before switching back to her natural dark color. Gold foil level scene.

On Paper - Charlé Jay

Charlé Jay aka layluscious is an aspiring singer and an event organizer/promoter. Her petite frame, whimsical attitude, and big beautiful floof of hair came across fantastic in this scene. The hardest part about processing this shoot was having to edit out the stupid ON STAGE label on the mic stand.

On Paper - Di

Di is a sex kitten... for the purpose of this shoot. We had discussed the concept of her outfit for the scene and she was super happy to oblige. Her modeling style tends to lean towards the BDSM/submissive side of things so sporting a tail was no big deal for her.

On Paper - Anna Jialing

I was lucky to catch Anna while she was here for her first and last time as a model. She is quirky, cute, and loves to color to kill time. She had only been shooting for a short period of time before moving on so I'm glad I was able to squeeze in so many scenes in such a short period of time with her.

JMO - On Paper

JMO, my sorta long-distance muse, and I have been shooting together every few months since last Christmas (whenever she's in town). This was only the second entry into the On Paper series and, inspired by her Disney   background, I took the overall look and feel of these shots (and all entries going forward) into a softer and more whimsical/surreal look.

Here's the first of many installments of On Paper. Unlike previous months, On Paper related posts in December will not be sent directly to your inboxes, but instead the link will be included here in each post. I'm doing this because there's like 10-15+ updates coming and that would be upwards of 30 notification emails, and that's a weeee bit much ;) I'll be posting these in chronological order with a brief blurb linking to the model's instagram and, of cour...

December - On Paper & Holiday Heather

This month I am going to attempt to wrap up all unreleased 2017 content so we can start 2018 with a clean slate. 99% of this content is related to the ongoing On Paper series.. why? Because these sets require upwards of 45 minutes per picture and I've put out so much other content this year that these sets have mostly been set aside to be revisited at a later date. It's kinda like how you keep telling yourself you're gonna go get some more paper towels and napkins for the kitchen but en...

Bonus Boudoir - Heather Monique

Good morning! 

As previously mentioned, I have a bonus scene that I shot with Heather Monique and, despite being the end of a really long shooting day, Heather still nailed the mood and gave us some super sexy shots. No BTS on this one, mostly because when I hit record on the GoPro it was in picture mode.. but I can at least provide 2017-11-29 17:27:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Actress Natasha Liu nude on this bizarre entertainment center

Happy Thanksgiving! 

This is the follow-up set to the one released yesterday. Natasha is an actress in the LA area and her Instagram stories are an excellent glimpse into the working life of a budding actress in Hollywood (and worldwide, actually, as she's currently in Europe filming). Absolutely loved working with her and ...

Vailence - A Ridiculous Couch Set

Good afternoon!


You guys are gonna get hit with a double link set featuring both Vailence and Natasha Liu. Both scenes were shot in the same room with the same lighting so I combined the BTS stuffs but am still splitting the emails to give the photosets their own space.

Balloons! Feat. Heather Monique

 Not only does this scene feature the incomparably beautiful Heather Monique, but it was also shot on a borrowed Sony a7r II! At 42MP, these images are massive compared to the 6D's 22MP raw files, and the video capability with shooting at 1080p60 yields far cleaner slow-motion footage than the 720p60 on the Canon. Overall I think you guys are gonna love this scene!

oh hai, Jeana Turner

Jeana Turner is a one-of-a-kind model, and I genuinely mean that. Besides being extraordinarily pleasant to work with, she has a uniquely beautiful and unclassifiable look on top having alopecia (condition that stunts hair growth on the entire body), which makes her that much more unique. 

This set was shot in LA at the sister loft to the published set I shot with Shasta, and brings its own unique flavors...

Lindsay Geektr0n's final shoot

My dear friend and muse Lindsay is retiring from modelling and, given her history in the games industry (and with games in general), I think it's rather fitting that her final set be inspired by the book 'Ready Player One'.

While we don't have an entirely clear picture of what the color scheme and overall look of the RPO film will look like (the teaser trailer doesn't help much), we knew that cramming a bunch of ...

Sydney Wolf - Mirrorball

Today's release includes a set from my LA shoot with Sydney Wolf. I'll probably never see another room(??) as uniquely weird as this one so I couldn't pass on the opportunity to shoot inside of it.
