AI generative fill
Playing with a new version of Photoshop, as I edit photos from a wedding.
The trashcan was in the first shot I took, before I went over and physically removed it. But I wanted to play with this version as I test out the new Photoshop Beta. Pretty interesting! Not perfect (and I'll make more adjustments if the client chooses this image as part of their edit package), but still I'm enjoying exploring the new possibilities.
The plant is totally AI-generated.

I miss my friend. I wish I'd known in time, what she was going through.
This sort of post is usually at the $10 tier (blurry photos) but I'm just gonna let everyone see it. This work has never been about money for me. I just want to make a positive impact on the lives of those I shoot with, and those who see the photos. I'm grateful my backers (people like you) help to make the mission sustainable.

Happy birthday, Jaquie
"I wanted to write a little something about my experience working with Brian. I have shot nude before only once or twice but none of those shoots were planned or directed [in] an artistic manner. Brian and I had scheduled our shoot a couple months in advance. I had been following him on IG for quite some time and loved his work but wasn't sure I was the right candidate to model for his style of vision. He reassured me that a natural, real and honest personality and pre...

Processing a 150-tier request
A long-time backer has requested this set, so I might as well ask: Who else wants the link! (See the 150 tier.)

Sometimes people ask me if I shoot with men too.
It's not as often. I prefer the female aesthetic, and women are more often given the cultural narrative of "you should do a photoshoot while you're young." But my primary motive in shooting is to help people find (or express) their confidence, and men seem to need that too!

About the promotion
Today I posted on social media about the free access to this entire unedited photo set… but the promotion has actually been running for about 3.5 years now! Anyone who read the description of the 150 tier has always been able to message me (with the agreement text) to ask for the set.
Many full sets of unedited stills are available at that tier! And the donations really help a ton, to enable future shoots with more people.

This set of over 3000 photos is available to all subscribers, regardless of what tier level you're at! My gift to you, to express my gratitude.
Tap the Talya tag.
