Self portrait experiments in a laundry basket - set 2
The end of that. lol
Just realized there are three of me and that's kind of neat.

I don't know. I have nothing to say for myself. Sometimes I just do shit and see what happens. This is an example of that. I think a shoot cancelled, so I spent a bit of time shooting myself. And, been sitting on these photos since Spring. More weirdness to come.

We swapped outfits. And, apparently I've been a bad student.

2023-08-08 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be honest. I have so much "content" it's hard not to blow it all at once! I have shoots from months ago and self-portrait shoots I'm sitting on, too. And, I have more shoots scheduled this month. I'm really going after it this year to get my list of concepts shot and work with some new people and just really excited about modeling and Patreon and you being here. The audience gives the art life and meaning. Thanks for giving my modeling and creative photographic work LIFE.

This is the last one from what I found on DeviantArt and downloaded to save. This is only one side of my body flipped to make the other half of the image. I've learned this before in something other than photography, but no matter how symmetrical your face or body looks, it's actually not. And, if you take one side and mirror image it to the other side and look at it, you'd be really surprised. It is said that people are more attracted to faces that are the most symmetrical. So, this is only ...

So, here's my line of thinking with self portraits and probably all my concepts. It's better to get the idea photographed and out and seen than to wait on perfection. Could someone else shoot this better? Yes. Could someone else or me edit these? Yes. But, I think you still get the point and the rawness of not being perfect or editing adds a realness to what I present. Someone asked me if I wanted any help editing photos once and said that I probably didn't because I was a purist with my phot...

Which photo is your favorite? Some good stuff coming up into rotation this month! Thanks for sticking around. It means a lot to me.

Some of you have shot with me when I had a studio in the Masonic Temple building in Zanesville. This is the main floor, after hours. Still risky with no shirt on. It was years ago, before it got busy and all the rooms rented. Sarah and I did coordinate our outfits. There's also one photo of me being a beast with some simple body paint. Sarah and I painted each other.

We were trying some themes. Our faces are funny in some of these. Years ago at Mission Oaks Garden with Sarah Jean Modeling and Timothy Wombold.

Obviously the last three are the money shots. Interesting what angles and lighting can do.

Like in the old days when I use to post a selfie a day. Tit smash/arm rest breakfast 🥣
2023-07-28 13:05:56 +0000 UTC View PostI drove an hour and a half and they couldn't do it today because it's so large and close to the vessels on my temple and the main surgeon wasn't available. I was scheduled with a PA. They will do it on September 13 in Zanesville and the surgeon will potentially do a skin flap. 😳 So, I'll be trying to get shoots in during August because I think I'll be out for about a month after that while my face heals. Not that y'all need to know all my business but I already talked about it and some may...

The first shot is a test shot. So, after we shot the tea party set, he said let's shoot it a little more naughty like how you'd make your Barbies scissor or hu mp when you're little. I said that's pretty expected (I'm getting to be such a snob about not wanting to do things that have already been done a lot or without putting a twist on it), but we can do some. It was making me laugh, as you'll see. And, some are just me basically showing off my Barbies. I weeded these down some, but got tire...

You've probably seen these before, right? The chainmaille /scalemaille top was created link by link by Graywolf's Chainmaille in Cambridge, Ohio. It was on loan for the shoot. The location of the first two was Mission Oaks Garden in Zanesville. The sword was the photographer's idea and the location for that was inside a hotel room with a backdrop and lights set up. My friend and fellow photographer/editing wizard Alexandria Kellett (XoLeXo Photography and Graphics) edited the final photo the ...

2023-07-22 00:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday kind of "went sideways" as the kids like to say. lol. The dermatologist called me and said the mole they took off my temple had abnormal cells and they need to do surgery on it next Thursday (which may put me off modeling for a couple weeks or who knows if my face is fucked, although it's on my temple, which may be hide-able with my hair.....anyone want to shoot a person in-the-raw scars and all?) and then my back brakes started grinding when I brake and turn right, so I made an app...

I don't have energy to weed these down and I can't get them all in one post, so you'll have more of this concept to enjoy (or not) tomorrow. I am wearing a vintage lace ombre dress from xtabayvintage on loan from another photographer. (It was perfect timing because I knew I was going to do this shoot, but didn't have nearly as ruffly of a tea party dress.) I bought this miniature tea party set from an outdoor flea market for $8! I tromped through the mud and that is all I bought that day. But...
