I'm gonna catch you guys up on this, because I've been working on this particular project for a while. Not necessarily this collection of photos, but this AI face model of Anais that I've been struggling to get right.
Here are some of my past "failures"
I fucking LOVE this spotlight attachment on this light in the studio. You can shove whatever shaped cookie cutter looking stencil in it and it gives you that shape. In this case, I was using two flat pieces to try and form the thinnest sliver of light to shine across the STUNNING Maria S. She cut her hair recently, super short, but every time we shoot she gets in trouble so I'm not sure if her and I are allowed to work together while she looks this good, haha. As you can see, I opened up the ...

If you're looking through these images of Lindsay and you're thinking they look a little off, you would be correct. These are AI images that I generated using Stable Diffusion running on my PC. It takes a long time to fine tune a theme like this when using custom models faces and bodies (yes, I trained it on her nudes that I took so these AI boobs are like 75% Lindsay's actual boobs lol), and then to do all the inpainting to try and clean it up, the struggle with the HANDS, but I really like ...

🚨REAL PICTURES 🚨 NOT AI 🚨
lmao I'm gonna have to start tagging things that way with how good some of these AI renders are coming out. Anyways, happy friday ppl, you may recognize both Bria AND this room. I've shot several times in this spot and I've tried to switch it up each time to give each model a unique vibe. I put one of my little RGB panels in the ceiling fixture to add more kick with that green, and the key light is one of those little round "sunset" lights that amazon...
Some more bts: I had to explain what *69 actually meant

Yooooooooooo AI shit is crazy! Here's a walkthrough of where I'm at with this new technology and how I want to integrate it into some of the photography works I'll be working on in the future. Watch this video and drop some thoughts in the comments, I'd LOVE to hear what you guys think after you see what I'm able to do with it.

I've got a good story for this one.. Heather had a large clear bandage on her leg that was starting to peel back and we decided to take some scissors to it so there wouldn't be a lot of work in post. Well, I'm down there trying to clip this super thick bandage material with scissors as sharp as a fruit rollup, we're blabbing away about some bullshit, and I fucking scissored, hard too lol. I felt absolutely terrible, and she about shoved me over the bannister, but we managed to press on and de...

This set is AMAZING! Heather completely owned this bodysuit jfc. We are literally rocking to Nine Inch Nails (one of her favs, as well as mine) while shooting this, then we switched it up and shot video, then back to photos, it was a fast paced shoot that lent its vibe to the outcome. Very pleased with Heather in these.

I've got a few things Lahanna related that all got approved at basically the same time lol. You guys are gonna LOVE what we shot, tho, this girl is incredible.
Some bts - We actually started shooting in the chair that you can see behind her in the first shot. It was supposed to be a sexy chair/corner shot, but the GIGANTIC tv that's just off to the right, inside the room, was in every shot and the chair+decor ended up looking too much like an office lounge on c...

I've got a few Lahanna things in my queue, as you can see, and this video is dropping on the TL because it's SUCH a tease of the photoset. She doesn't do nudity in videos, or BTS with any photographer it seems, and that's kind of a bummer but I'm hoping the more we shoot, the more comfortable she is with trusting me with this kind of work because Im fucking good at it.
The photoset will follow this!
Lahanna as you've literally never seen her before.. with her adorably nerdy glasses and braces on full display. She's very protective of how she's perceived on the internet, and this is certainly outside of her comfort zone, but she loved it anyways. Can we talk about the transformation from first to last image?
Lahanna - Bookworm

Probably a Mike B's top 3 shoots with my girl Heather here. A+ Hair/Makeup, A+ setting, A+ wardrobe, A+ lighting, A+ Heather, DDD+ boobas. The VIDEO for this is incredible as well, and the BTS is.. saucy👀

Bria aka @ yuge.nn with her yuge collection of of vinyl. We spent way too much time flipping through records instead of shooting, but I loved that she stopped on Cheech and freaking Chong haha.

I woke up early as fuck for this, but it was totally worth it. Lindsay is and always will be a playful one, especially when naked. Although lately she's been giving us *ahem* _more_. We had a 3 minute window where the sun would push through and give us these beautiful god (goddess?) rays and we maximized every second of it.

Slithering in her stunning, sultry snakeskin ensemble, she sashayed with spectacular sass and style.
lol
What do you guys think of JMO's new nip piercings? She said they were HEAVY but she liked how it felt, so now she has me wondering if she'd be interested in shooting anything with nipple clamps 🤔🤔🤔

I missed out on working with Jordan West recently, she had a last second emergency she had to attend to and ended up cancelling. It's a shame too because this is the last set I have from our previous shoot! I know there's a lot of fans here, tho, so know that I'm doing my best to get back out her way so we can link up again and get some content done.

JMO looks next-door-gorgeous in this hammock surrounded by.. an actual bamboo forest. The top she's wearing was knit by a friend of hers, so she felt like one classy tiddy reveal wouldn't bring TOO much dishonor haha. I found these prerolls that look like cigs, gonna stock up and try not to smoke them as they're perfect for shoots where we want to get smoking shots but not use actual cigarettes.

Heather and I were prepping to shoot a scene when she steps in wearing this elegant and beautiful dress. This is just a little bit of sun (and a moon..) with a dresser and painting as a backdrop, shot it on my 85mm so my back was REALLY against the wall here. Was a quick set tho, I just wanted to capture this moment.

CHECK OUT THIS ROOM
Shot with Bria in this insane green-room style living room. The owners literally daily drive this space, it's wild. Biggest challenge of the shoot = keeping the camera from autofocusing on Bowie's face instead of Bria's lol. I've also included a shot of the lighting rig I used, as it's become sort of a thing since shooting that black and white duet set with Linz and Heather a couple years back. I really appreciate the extra layers of colorful shadows it creates. ...

How timely to post some non-nude content on a Sunday yeah? 🌩😬🌩This set with Maria was meant to have a bit of an edge to it but, once the scene was lit, I told her it looked like a gdamned LinkedIn portrait shoot.. but we should press on because it didn't technically look BAD. What she's wearing is stunning, ofc, as you can see every curve of her hella fit body through this tight knitted romper. I laughed when we got to "stage 2" of the shoot where normally clothes would start coming ...

Here's Heather rocking the Sunset backdrop scene! We were racing the sun so we shot this in literally THREE minutes, I have the entire POV BTS going up via for those interested. Heather's great for getting in and out of scenes quick and still getting some gangster shots, an absolute pro. This jean jacket sure does get around tho 🤔

This set with Lahanna in this astroturfed airbnb's backyard is so simple and pretty looking that I shot it once with her and again with Heather the next day (that set coming Friday).
Side story with this - With wardrobe I try and pick things that are already semi-revealing or at least have the ability to be in different stages of wear (i.e. a jacket can start buttoned for pics, transition to unbuttoned, transition to off). This dress only had an on/off, but then I asked her to see if <...
Charle Jay in the Oasis. Up until this point I've been relying mostly on sunlight and/or my LED single color monolight and the results have been mostly good. This week, however, I picked up a bicolor light that lets me adjust it based on the ambient color temperature and I can't wait to go back and fuck this couch scene up lol. This is definitely a photographer geek rant, but mixing color temps is such a peeve of mine unless it's like a COOL 9000K and WARM 2500K kinda situation so I'm looking...
