YoYo - A Beautiful Compromise Collection (Part 3)

YoYo - A Beautiful Compromise Collection (Part 2)

YoYo - A Beautiful Compromise Collection (Part 1)

Yoyo is an old friend and like Afra I have known her for a very long time even before I started Nude Photography. However, the difference is that we have met in the past when I was still exploring Figurative Art.  She was my second nude model in December 2019 and it took us 1 year to have a photoshoot alone again. Actually I had one with her and Timo in June 2020, but is different when we create art alone. 

If you wondered about the name of the collection, it is an even longer...

Eyes - Rock & Sand Collection (Part 1)

I will continue with the Outdoor theme today.  I decided on this location in Southern Taiwan, because I wanted rocks, sand and old trees. Actually it is the same location I used when I shot Eyes and her husband almost a year earlier and it is very isolated.  Unfortunately, we realized the landscape totally changed the day we arrived most likely due to a large typhoon. So there was very little sand left and Eyes really had a hard time walking on the rocks. There were also no trees an...

Mimi (Part 2/Final)

Mimi (Part 1)

You know Mimi from another her shoot together with Becky. However, as mentioned I have known Mimi for a much longer time. She also contacted me on Instagram to ask about the possibility of a photoshoot and at first she also thought I was female. However, after informing her that I'm male and talking about art, she still wanted to shoot with me. 

Her project was really difficult. She loves rock climbing and hiking in the mountains. So she wanted to go to a famous destination in Taiw...

Afra (Part 8/Final)

I hope one day I will have the opportunity to shoot her again. My relationship with her is just very special and she really understands me.  We still talk very often and we are good friends. She even designed most of my E-Books. I always call her my art consultant, because she is a brilliant artist in her own art. However, she is as open minded as me and perhaps don't represent the mainstream view.  So I get in trouble with her advice too ;). 

Afra (Part 7)

Afra (Part 6)

This was most likely the part of the shoot that was the hardest to explain. I took a lot of photos and it continued until my memory card was full. She was on the bed and just start moving around. Kind of like playing with me and the camera. Afterwards, I kind of thought she might want me to keep the photos private, but she just said she loved it and I can post it. In fact, these photos were the last ones I posted before my old Instagram account of 1300 + followers got deleted in June 2020 So ...

Afra (Part 5)

There is a lot of things I love about Afra. Obviously we are good friends and it kind of made this shoot really special. However, I guess I really loved the Pony Tails and Red Lips. It added some extra sexiness to the photos, but then again it was how I experienced it and I was there at the moment. 

Afra (Part 4)

I am continuing with her collection since I really always miss her. This was still her one and only nude modelling experience. 

Peggy - 2nd Shoot (Part 5/Final)

Peggy - 2nd Shoot (Part 4)

Peggy - 2nd Shoot (Part 3)

Well, this part has more flowers again. Our plans was to cover certain parts with flowers or to combines flowers with some dynamic poses. Actually this part has an interesting story too. Peggy always surprise me and in a way I really miss her sometimes.  When we  were shooting the photos with the rose on her stomach, I told her it does not look good when she cross her legs. In fact I told  her:  "I know it sounds odd, but can  you please open your legs a bit more". Su...

Peggy - 2nd Shoot (Part 2)

This was one of my favorite parts of the shoots. I  suggested this pose (last 6 photos) and our vague idea was to decorate her with flowers which was my job :).   Actually we did this part two times. Once I finished the first set of photos, Peggy told me that there are too many flowers on her back and that she prefers photos like the last 4 emphasizing her back.  I must admit I was not really complaining about repeating the whole process. 

Peggy - 2nd Shoot (Part 1)

One special request from one of the Patrons, I'll will post Peggy's 2nd shoot sooner. This was shoot we planned better. We wanted to be more dynamic and creative for this shoot. So some parts of the shoot was Yoga poses that Peggy suggested and some other parts of the shoots we used flowers as the creative element.  She could not do all the Yoga poses as once since it was really tiring.  Unfortunately many of  the Yoga poses did show her face in  way that I can not post it...

13 & Jie (Part 6/Final)

13 & Jie (Part 5)

13 & Jie (Part 4)

I was planning to re-edit the photos before I post the rest of their collection, because I was not really happy with my editing results. However, I have very limited time currently. So I am just posting it the way I saw it and edited it based on my feeling that time. 

We had a few crazy & funny moments during our shoot and these were some of it. As I mentioned before, they use to be lovers in the past for a little while. It seems that during the shoot Jie was still very keen, b...

13 & Jie (Part 3)

For many of the older collections, I only posted a few parts. So occasionally I'll do some flashbacks like this post of 13 &  Jie. In fact a lot of photos in this collection I never posted on IG.  This part is all in black & white. 

Peggy - 1st Shoot (Part 4/Final)

It was really hard to shoot in this bathroom. Firstly we had limited space and I only had a 50mm lens at the shoot. Secondly the natural light is always poor in hotel bathroom and you need to switch on the lights that will effect the skin color of the model. So the photos in the bathroom were not that great, but I still think some were really nice. So really enjoyed playing in the bath and unfortunately most of the show photos showed her face. 

Part 5 will have a few sensitive phot...

Peggy - 1st Shoot (Part 3)

The first two photos were really hard to capture. I took quite a few, but I will only post these two. She wanted these photos from behind to be dark in certain areas yet show her shoulder blades. Unfortunately I had to choose a darker corner of the room for this pose, but this is also when I realized her definition of "sexy/erotic" is quite liberal since she considered this as "pure" art. 

Peggy - 1st Shoot (Part 2)

Peggy - 1st Shoot (Part 1)

Peggy is a very unique model and most likely the most surprising of how she expresses herself when she is nude. She contacted me on Instagram since an artist friends suggested my nude art as a good reference.  She thought I was a female photographer at first and said she has never done nude photography before. I had to break the news to her that I was actually male, but surprisingly she still wanted me to do her first nude photoshoot. She said she wanted to be a volunteer, but that she h...

Cos - Part 2

The last 3 photos  was an idea of Cos. She said the cactus symbolizes the barrier society erected to prevent females from being sexually liberated and enjoying the same freedoms as men. 

Cos - Part 1

Cos was really an interesting story and another lesson I learned in Photography. She is a good friend of my other model friend , 13.  I must also say that she is a highly intelligent person and a student spokesperson for female rights in Taiwan. So give interviews  on radio and give speeches/presentations at many events. So it was interesting that someone like her were interested in shooting with me. 

We started chatting on Instagram since she followed me and we realized ...
