Peach Meadows - Day Scene

Peach Meadows scene is live! 

Check it out here 

Currently working on getting the BTS wrapped for both this and Shay Laren's boudoir scene. Busy busy busy..

Shay Laren in Windowed Mode

Went with the 'mermaid' theme when processing the tones of the sun coming through the window and I think it works pretty well!  

Here's the Dropbox link to the set 

I still have another scene featuring Shay and another with Peach Meadows that should be wrapped soon.

Thanks for your ...

Picks, Bans, Basic Processing - Peach Meadows Classic Boudoir

Introducing the beautiful (and crazy unique) Peach Meadows! I'm calling this scene 'classic' boudoir because of her look and the overall processing we eventually settle on by the end of this episode. There's another scene we shot (that I preview in this episode) in the same room but with one light instead of two, but that won't require a PBBP given it's essentially the same general scene. 

Enjoy!

Picks, Bans, Basic Processing - Shay Laren in Windowed Mode

Second PBBP for this month! This scene we shot in both digital AND b&w film with the latter being something we'd likely not have a PBBP for since it's film and all. I'm definitely hoping to get the rolls developed before the end of the month so I can share them with you all first, I'll keep you posted.

Peach Meadows is up next!

A Peach Meadows short

A few photographers here on Patreon release these little 10-20 second snippets of video here and there throughout the month from various shoots. I figured since it's pretty easy to take these short clips while shooting, I can probably aim to do that for each shoot this year.  Enjoy!

Picks, Bans, Basic Processing - Shay Laren Boudoir

First PBBP is up! These are going to be steadily rolling out through this week along with other supplementary content that I'm sure everyone will enjoy :) 

Stay tuned!

Shay Laren instaxxxx (with preview!)

Finished an incredible session with Shay Laren that's absolutely going to yield loads of great shots. As always the instax are available to patrons at the $25 tier so don't miss out! 

I expect to begin processing these next week. 👌🏿

Peach Meadows instax preview!

Just wrapped an awesome two and a half hour shoot with Peach Meadows and am making plenty of backups because this before/after style shoot is :O 

More to follow, but it's time for me to get some rest because tomorrow we have Shay Laren!

Kiera in the Spare Bedroom

The 21 image set featuring Kiera  is available now!

Kiera in the Spare Bedroom 

Went more of the glamour route with the editing, but I was able to dirty it up with some color play and a bit of grain. Enjoy!

Merry Xmas: January lineup confirmed!

We're going to be opening 2017 with two incredible models who have both confirmed date and time for shoots. On the left is Penthouse Pet Shay Laren  (perhaps you've seen this gif ), who I have booked for a half-day shoot (Half-day is typically 4 hours, which is almost twice the normal shoot time which means more scenes!) And on the right is mode...

How It's Done - Kiera Boudoir

Good morning!

Here's a cut of the behind-the-scenes video featuring Kiera. In this feature, we go over the technical aspects of the lighting setup, camera settings, posing, and I conveniently left out the part where I stubbed my toe and ended up bleeding all over the floor (hint: there's a reason I go from socks to shoes halfway through..)

Enjoy!

PBBP - Sweet Kiera - Sunset Window

A relatively short and simple scene with Kiera as we attempt to catch the sun before it sets and I attempt to not burn my eyes out of their socket.

Note: I'm going to be working more in-depth with this and other scenes while on vacation next week so expect the release of these to come at the very last minute this month! 

How It's Done: Jenn and Kiera Christmas

Since both of these shoots were extremely simple to execute and almost identical, I decided to put them together to f̶o̶r̶m̶ ̶V̶o̶l̶t̶r̶o̶n̶ make one all inclusive video on how this shoot was executed. The concept was overall incredibly simple, but there are a few key things you'd want to take away from this:

1. LED lights on a dimmer = magic

2. All those presents are fake

;)

Enjoy!

It's a Kiera Christmas - 26 photo set!

This year's Christmas tree is getting one hell of a workout.. The full 26 photo scene featuring Sweet Kiera is available now on Dropbox ! 

Also, I've another Christmas scene that should be good to go by tomorrow evening featuring Jennifer Morris (yes, we did two Christmas themed shoots).

Thanks for your continued support! o7

Picks, Bans, Basic Processing - It's a Kiera Christmas

Good morning! 

This episode of PBBP focuses on the Christmas tree scene shot with Kiera. The first hour is almost purely picks and rejects while the rest focuses on trying to figure out how to punch-up a very dimly lit scene. I'm hoping to have this set done and released by sometime tomorrow and the boudoir set by the following week!

Enjoy!

Kiera Instax Preview...

A small preview for those that are part of the instax/polaroid tier and also for those interested in what this month's selection will look like.. 

Kiera - BTS preview

Literally JUST wrapped with Kiera and I'm currently dumping the video for the behind-the-scenes tier and yeeaahhhhh...

Stay tuned!

Jennifer Morris - Picks, Bans, and Basic Processing

What? The shoot was yesterday and this is already up? What's next.. a post with the final images from one of the sets? 

Oh..  

Christmas Prep w/JMO

 Wrapped with the first of ~3 scenes with Jennifer Morris! There's a massive Christmas tree in my living room so I'm taking full advantage of it.. both because it's a nice tree and because it's taking up all the space where I normally shoot. Butt I'm sure no one minds..

Here's the dropbox link  , enjoy! 

December shoot #1 is booked - Kiera!

I've confirmed with model/actress/college student Kiera for a photoshoot next week! We'll be working on at least 2 scenes and, of course, a stack of polaroids. Kiera is a well experienced model who knows how to handle being under light and lens so I anticipate this being a great shoot.

I'm also working on getting together 2016-12-02 18:06:33 +0000 UTC View Post

November shipment is ready to go!

Just got done packing up all the envelopes with this months Instaxs... I think you will especially enjoy the ones featuring Lindsay as we basically took the rest of the pie and smeared it all over her.. hah. Thanks again for your continued support and I'll be updating shortly with December's AND January's models!

Salvaged Pokket set!

This was originally going to be a throwaway scene, but I managed to build a small narrative for it.. "Topless girl in a tutu headbangs to her favorite song then curtsies" real deep stuff.  

Enjoy! 

Last call for Lindsay and Rachel Instax!

I've got a few extra so I'm putting out a last call for those interested in a pair of Instax from this month's shoots with Rachel Dashae and Lindsay Fine! To upgrade click here and register for the $25 tier and be sure to include your actual mailing address please! The rollover for patrons happen on the first of each month and when you pledge you wi...

Lindsay Eats Crow behind the scenes!

It's the holidays here in the states, but I still wanted to drop this to you all in the event that you have a few moments to spare to watch someone else eat pie!

How It's Done - Lindsay Eats Crow 

o/\o

Lindsay Fine Eats Crow set complete!

The idea behind this shoot was to build a sort of surreal scene where we see Lindsay going from just another gal about to wreck some pie to a possessed and completely immersed [insert murderous monster thing here]. The imagery is (obviously) symbolic and designed to visually paint a picture of someone going from absolute normality to an emotionless shell of themselves, with each of the initial stages separated by the flashes (or lack of flash) in the darker images and slow progress...

BTS - Good Morning, Rachel

The behind-the-scenes video with Rachel Dashae  is live! This was a super simple overall shoot that was shot entirely in 4K so I can easily pan the camera around to where the action is. Works pretty well but I will probably ensure that I move the timelapse camera with me when the action moves.. you know.. off-frame :-X

Lindsay Fine bonus set!

This was a bonus set we shot following the 'Eat Crow' scene earlier this month. It was midnight or so, we were both ready to crash, but I had the shirt and she had the look sooo..

This shoot was processed to look like point-and-shoot film (similar to the shoot with Burgundy) and it seems to work pretty well..

Here's the dropbox link, enjoy!  

Lindsay Fine eats crow

I knew this shoot was going to be a PITA, and this processing video is only the first step! 

Watch it here. 

I've got a couple of bonus scenes in the pipe that'll take us through the end of the month from Burgundy, Lindsay and Pokket so stay tuned!

Good Morning, Rachel Dashae - Dropbox link!

Wrapped with Rachel Dashae! This is a massive dump with thirty something images.. good model + good light + little post processing needed = loads of solid pics. 

Here's the link to the folders.
