Another great set with Bria, who has her own OF @skin1! I tend to bring a lot of yellow wardrobe with me when I shoot, seems to especially be the case with Bria haha. We had some fun playing with the different ways to wear this top and maneuver around the studio acrylic chair that's been around the block a few times and was *quite* oily before I cleaned it up (and then we got it oily again).
Enjoy!

OF COURSE Lindsay has an outdoor shower haha. And the hot water is apparently super limited so we had to bing bang boom get this shoot finished and get out of there. The sun cutting through at the last second was a nice touch, as it had been foggy most of the morning. Shooting in these ultra high contrast scenes is HARD man. On one hand you get beautiful lines and color just pops, and then you get a great pose and face that's been blotted out by deep shadows.
This makes me think I...

Lahanna giving us everything in this fall themed set (okay, more like late late summer). Her tats look so dope in these, too.
I'm about out of sets with Lahanna, but we're already talking about connecting after the new year to see what plans are for 2024 so wooooo!🤞🏼

This was literally what Lay was wearing when she walked into the studio and, of course, we had to shoot in it. Comfies and brand new boobas and a matching backdrop and this rug thing I found tucked in the back of the studio? Im in.

Working with Lahanna has been a blessing, just an endless stream of ideas. I had no plans on shooting in this room until she pointed at the ceiling and was like "hello, these beams are dope". She was right, of course, but I almost fucked it up and..
Now I want to sell a few lenses to get a proper zoom. The first few shots are with my 50mm f1.4 Canon FD, the rest are with a Rokinon 35mm f1.4. Because of the way the house was designed (all curves), there was no way for me to ge...

BLACK FRIDAAYYYYYY - or at least it used to be? The hype for going out and spending money tends to go away when you don't have money anymore hah-ha.. ha.. You know who doesn't have to worry about spending money? My girl Lindsay. If shit hits the fan and everyone turns into a broke zombie, she'll be living that good life completely off-grid and maybe wearing more clothes than seen above. MAYBE.

Lahanna and I take an insane amount of photos when working together, and I don't mean like I'm just bursting the camera down in rapid fire mode, I'm talking like we actually manage to setup scenes, wardrobe, and get the look down crazy fast compared to literally any other model I've worked with (JMO is a close second). SO if you are upset that there's a disproportionate amount of nudes featuring Lahanna, well, cry me a river. 😎

Jordan wearing a blanket-thing while I battle an unbelievable amount of glare from the freshly-risen sun. We were busy catching up while taking these so the random laughs were genuine and a perfect fit with this playful/casual look.

We set up this shoot outside and I told Lahanna it kind of came off like some vanilla influencer instagram shots, except with some tasteful nudity. Thoughts? 👀

Good lordy lord Heather. No makeup, worst time of day for outdoor shoots, but she slaps on a hat and some kind of mesh thing and we make magic. Now HERE is a good example of where that forgotten circular polarizer would've come in handy, the reflection of the second floor bannister in the glass is a small, but prickly nit-pick that I will take note of for future reference 📝

LEGS LEGS LEGS LEGS LEGS starring Jordan West! lmao this set came out AMAZING, far better than I expected and here's why: This was the cheapest and shoddiest looking spiral staircase I have ever seen, but Jordan saw opportunity and forced me to take another look at it. So I grabbed my ultrawide and she grabbed some borderline daisy dukes and we did the thing and, like, that first picture man, just made the whole stupid shitty spiral staircase (tongue twister?) somehow work.

I got Bria to come by the studio on a less-than-one-day notice due to someone straight up ghosting me on insta after confirming she was good to go for a shoot. I swear people think photographers just hang out all day with nothing else to do by cater to models absurd lack of scheduling prowess lol. Salt on the wound - she actually DM'd me *while I was shooting with Bria* with some excuse about how she "got carried away with life stuff" and didnt even acknowledge that it was literally the time ...

I'm just a little proud of this quick 30 second backdrop I threw together. I dragged this hope chest over, threw the couch blanket over top, and voila! Although, and I think I've said this before, it's probably just Lahanna carrying the scene 🤔

I'm going to check in with Hannah and see where she's at for future shoots. She recently deactivated her OF and I wonder if we are the last ones to see this, uh, literal side of her. Even if she is stepping into retirement, I'm glad to have had a chance to work with her!

I think this is the last set from Lindsay's old place. I was a little bummed that our sunny sunset turned into a cloudy mess at the literal last second, but we persevered and also managed to give a few construction workers a show haha. The top she's wearing was a handmade piece I got from a boutique shop down in San Jose. It was hella expensive so you're DEFINITELY going to see it again, as well as Lindsay, of course.

Charlé Jay aka Lay Luscious is back Gentleman and (especially) Ladies, and she's got a brand new rack to flaunt lmao. So she hits me up a couple months ago and we're chatting up booking a photosh00t while she's here at her parent's "recovering from breast augmentation surgery" so naturally I'm like "👀huh?👀" Keep in mind she is still only a couple months post-op and she wanted to wait until her breasts healed up completely but we opted to just jump into it a...

Part of me was upset that I didn't bring the appropriate adapter for my circular polarizer lens, because it would've almost eliminated any reflections in the glass. HOWEVER, after getting this set into the editing bay, I have to say I'm glad I didn't have it because the colors and overlaid exposure look pretty incredible.
Side note: If we lived closer, Lahanna and I would be shooting like almost weekly. Our sets always come out great and her look is unmatched.

Here we have Jordan West in her natural habitat, a kitchen, wearing an oversized button-up dress shirt, and literally nothing else. And you may think "wait, that sounds sexist" but, no, I'm not joking, much of her instagram feed looks like this because her fanbase LOVES this look, and she knows to take full advantage of it. Sexiest business woman alive imo.

I've got some new Charle pics and bts in the pipeline, and I wanted to give you guys a peek at what it's like editing this set down using both content aware and AI tools in photoshop.
Also, how are you guys liking or not liking the new Patreon redesign? Both the web ui and the app have changed dramatically and I'm on the fence about it, as a creator, but curious how you guys view it.

You guys have probably already seen this video, as I rushed it out as soon as I could, but the photos are equally as captivating. It is Heather, after all. If I could go back and change one thing about this shoot, tho, I'd uproot those damn ugly ass umbrellas and throw them down the hill because they are in almost ALL my scenes around this house lol.
Side note - While making the AI version of Heather, I found that including the word "umbrella" in the prompt will literally include THESE ...

Oh Lindsay, not afraid to get hot and bothered while getting us hot and bothered. I've mentioned it before, but this is the backyard of the Lucky house. I've been keeping tabs on the owner's new place, which is waaayyy far, and it's coming along pretty incredibly. I'm hoping I can squeeze in before it gets california cold because her interior/exterior design sense translates really well with my photography style and that, to me, is worth a wildly inconvenient round trip to her place haha.

I wonder what this peaches n' cream or whatever style of colorization I've been falling into can be classified as? I don't know what it is, but I get into a set and messing with the colors and I always score this soft, pastel look that just freaking works.

For someone that doesn't show much on social media, she sure goes hard when we shoo...

Man I hate having to name these sets lol. I used to name all my pictures after song names just to make it a zero-effort endeavor when working with multiple sets, but I thought switching to more descriptive names would be better.. now it's just "name - place" which, I think, is good enough?
ANYWAYS this is Hannah in probably my favorite wardrobe look and lighting combo. I picked up that top and skirt like seriously two days prior for about $5 each from goodwill, and now I can retire them...

Boy it was fucking HOT and not just because of Heather. For this shoot I used a reflector to try and counter some of the intense sunlight coming from almost directly overhead. Typically this is one of the worst times to do an outdoor shoot, but we managed. That last shot cracks me up tho.

Speaking of Lahanna - Her and I had to go ham on these old steps. I wanted to capture the contrast of those chipped stairs with the heavy contrast of her tattoos and this strappy lingerie she brought with her, and I nailed it imo. These types of old disposable camera/flash style shoots really create a raw look that I love. Lahanna is fine af too, which helps of course.
