New studio hallway
I was testing light in the new studio hallway with some self portraits. I'll be shooting here three times in the next two days!

I bet you're ready to see something different. Well, lucky you, I shot some self-portraits in my new studio last week! Which is your favorite? I'm deleting the rest off my phone. Lol

Sorry, just trying to warn you of graphic content. Anyhoo, the last photo in this set is probably my favorite of the entire shoot. Sometimes it takes you many photos to get to the magic one - the epic one. I was shooting through the light pink mesh that he was holding as a prop in the previous photos. And, this is the end of this abbreviated shoot. I'm the photographer.

The tongue came out, which means I was probably over posing and trying to break up my face or change it up.

I'm really happy with this set. I tried shooting them straight off the camera as you see in the first pic, but I thought a softer more romantic look would add to the pink mesh cotton candy look fabric I had him use as a prop, so I held a peachy pink gel thing over my lens and bam.... magical. I'm grateful I got the opportunity to shoot him. Don't worry, only one more set with man this month. :)
I hope you can find some value in seeing my photography, even if you'd rather see the subject as...
I kinda think I did, haha, if you remember this prop from earlier in the month. But, I do love this.
Photographer is me.

We were in a house that was being remodeled and the shower was basically the only place I could stand safely, so I jumped in it and said I don't know how to pose in this. He said just pretend you are taking a shower which worked pretty well, pose wise, and looked sensual. I don't know if this is actually how I look taking a shower as I've never watched myself. lol

I was worried I scared you off by posting a guy, so here are some more hot pics of yours truly.
Vintage bra, my regular nude string bikini VS panties.... vintage and modern work pretty well together.

Another $1 yard sale find proves for much art amusement.
Photos by me. I should add this person had never modeled or posed before, so I was trying to figure out what I wanted to shoot, lighting, background, my camera, and then direct him. But, still happy with them. He did great.

Sometimes I ask to shoot men. I know you guys don't prefer to see men, but I snag who I can snag for practice. If the man is flirting with me or trying to get with me or acting unprofessional (or even sometimes if they have an OF because I suspect they'll want more than what I want to do) I won't ask them or will be busy if they ask me to shoot them. I don't want anything other than a test subject. Most of the weird fine art things I want to shoot with women and men are non-sexual in nature. ...

Since you guys are the ones who essentially help me pay for all things shoot related, I thought it fitting I share with y'all first that I finally found a new space to rent as a photography studio! It's my friend's upper level of her house, so two rooms and a stairwell. If you're new to me, I was renting an art studio that I also used as a photo studio for 10 years in an old Masonic Temple building. Shockingly, it burned down one night in January of 2022. It contained about 60 artists studios...

I have no idea why I was making these faces, but they're pretty amusing.

This vintage teddy has a weird cut to it. I guess to make it modest while still trying to make it sexy. haha

When the only thing in the room to model with is a door. I did my best. lol

I'm tired of taking pics of myself so no more Polaroids for a bit. Xo But, I gotcha all covered. Some are good. Some are not. I guess that's how it is with any subscription service. 😂

I saw Chicory glowing in the morning sunlight on my drive to my friend's house and was hoping they had some in their field I could photograph and they did! So, these self portraits are inspired by morning sunlight on Chicory.

Self portraits
I thought of editing something into my hand.
2024-08-08 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, okay, so I got some feedback on the Polaroids. Someone said they don't know what they'd do with them.... like you can't just leave them out if you have a date or family over. My response.... shred them after you're done enjoying your mail.... like all your other bills. lol You are under no obligation to keep them! But, I do appreciate you shredding them or cutting them up when you're done with them!
2024-08-06 23:51:47 +0000 UTC View PostIt's not too late to have some sent to your house in a greeting card! US only. $7 for 5 (although you may get more goodies in your envelope). Cashapp or Venmo to artbybutterfly
And, if you've paid for some, they are percolating. Lol Meaning I've taken some, but I'm waiting to take a second look at them and see if I like them or hate them or want to take some more to have more to choose from. I'm not keeping your money, I promise. You'll be getting a surprise in the mail just when you'v...
