Our second day on ExplOregon. We spent the second day shooting at a movie set in the making near Bend, Oregon. Actually the guy that owns the property is building several sets that can be used for film making and shooting still photos. We wandered around for a couple of hours before setting off for the Alford Desert. There were several locations to shoot in and with the three models it made for an interesting and productive second day. I shot mostly with Her Stillness Dances and Kaitlyn,...

I spent some of the last days in June on the Exploregon adventure tour with Floofie, Her Stillness Dances, and Kaitlyn. The first day was spent at a house belonging to one of the other photographers and we shot until one of the neighbors complained. Go figure. It was a great way to start the 4 days of adventure. You'll see a lot more of these lovely ladies in the next few posts so stay tuned. And as always thank you for supporting my efforts.

Still in June. Next up is Lauren. Lauren and I met while I was shooting with another model at Lauren's studio in London. We hit it off and she mentioned that she modeled as well and the rest is as they say history. We have worked several times together and it's never a disappointment. She recently put out a blast on FB about who was continuing to do remote shoots even after the pandemic was over and I responded affirmatively. Remote shoots afford the opportunity to work with models who ...

Starting off in June now featuring the lovely Naya. Naya lives in Moscow (yes that Moscow) and we shoot remotely. She has access to a number of studios, and her husband assists with the camera, moving it around. He also speaks ebglish a little better than Naya, although we shot this morning and I have to say her english has improved a lot. We've barely made it through the first half of the year. I'll have to go some to get all the way through, but it's a challenge I'll accept.

June had booked up fast for Merrique and I, so we scheduled our regularly monthly shoot on the last day of May. Merrique was preparing for her wedding and had bleached her hair blonde for the event. She was moaning the whole time that she had gone a little overboard and had ruined her hair. It has since come back. Our plan was to shoot a few in her bedroom and then move to the outside and shoot around her rhododendrun bush but Portland weather wasn't cooperating (it was raining, surprise)...

Still in May and next up is Kay. She and I go way back and have worked together several times over the last couple of years. She works as a dancer in an exotic club in London and is very comfortable with her body. She's fearless and a lot of fun to work with. We shot from lingerie to nude with some fashion thrown into the mix. She's normally blonde but you can never tell what color hair she will be sporting. During this shoot it was a pale blue. I think currently she is half pale blue ...

Aurora contacted me and asked if I would be up for a remote shoot with her. I agreed and we shot this set in her hotel room with her partner Mike hand holding the camera. It's not the best setup for a remote shoot but she and I powered through it and got some acceptable photos. The first time Aurora and I shot together was similar, but the second time was in a studio and we created some great stuff. Aurora was a blond for a couple of years but is currently a redhead, and she does have the...

Ashley and I had worked before with Angel Black, and Ashley had put out a casting call on Purpleport advertising for a photographer who might want to shoot her solo. She's in England. I responded and asked if she would be interested in a remote shoot and since we had worked together before, she said yes. Before the shoot, Ashley had said this might be her final shoot. I asked why and she told me she was having some burnout issues and trouble with not being able to control her content. As...

Getting to the middle of May now featuring the fabulous St.Merrique. She and I go way back together and work together regularly, once a month if we both have the time. Most of the time we shoot remotely, but on this occasion, she traveled to Las Vegas and did a few shoots around town. We shot this series at Calico Basin. For those of you not familiar with Vegas, Calico Basin is a park on the west side of town, right next to Red Rock State Park. It may be an extension of Red Rock (I'm not...

MoMo texted me and told me she was new to the area and asked if I wanted to shoot with her. She was in Las Vegas visiting, and I told her about Redstone and asked her if she wanted to meet up there. She agreed. She was traveling in (coming from Arizona) so we met around 11am and spent a few hours in Redstone creating the images here. It was the middle of May, and it was getting hot, especially for this Wyoming boy, so we spent the shoot searching for shade. She and her partner are origin...

Kicking off May with Marie and Raven. I have shot with Marie quite a bit and this was my first shoot with Raven. She and Marie were touring across the southwest and Marie contacted me and asked if I wanted to shoot with the both of them. Of course I agreed. They were driving to Salt Lake, and I met them at the abandoned cement plant about an hour north of Vegas. Like I said, I had worked with Marie quite a few times but not Raven. They were both a little tired, but we still managed to c...

Last, but not least, to conclude April of last year are two of my favorite people, Floofie and Merrique. It just so happens they are the best of friends as well. We set up a remote shoot in an AirBnB Floofie booked near the coast in Oregon and spent an hour shooting remotely. It was a lot of fun but not nearly long enough. Enjoy these photos featuring these two beautiful women. Once again thank you for your support. Coming up photoshoots in May of last year.

Moving on from the Venus of the Valley posts. Still a couple more shoots from April. First up is Naya. She is such a beautiful model and a lot of fun to shoot with even though she's in Moscow and I'm in the US so there is a substantial time difference. Usually I stay awake until midnight so she can get the early morning light in one of her studios. They open at 10am. Naya transitioned from lingerie to nude back to nude for this session. Yuri (her photographer husband) assists with movi...

The last series from the Venus of the Valley Tour. We spent the last day of the tour at Villa Anita in Tecopah. The Villa is an Air BnB and is an eclectic stop (to say the least). If you ever get to Death Valley and want to stay in the most unique AirBnB in the vicinity, hit Carlos and Mike up. You can get lost in the place and Carlos is a wonderful chef. Be forewarned they have 11 dogs roaming the grounds who show up for dinner. Vivian, V, and Kate were wonderful subjects and had a gre...

Still more from April of last year. Vivian and V started the Venus tours in 2022. It is a multi-day photoshoot with three models and six photographers. I highly recommend it, if you can afford the time. I've been on three now. You have to be careful of which one you choose, because a few of them are really tough physically. They tend to be the campout tours, but all of them require a great deal of hiking. The locations and models are worth it. This was day three of this tour through D...

Day 2 of our Venuses of the Valley Tour in Death Valley National Park. We spent most of this morning hiking Golden Canyon hiking from Zabriskie Point to the entrance to the canyon. People lined up at Zabriskie Point could see what was going on but the models didn't seem to mind, nor did the tourists visiting the park. V, Vivian, and Kate posed at various points along the trail. We encountered quite a few passersby, but none complained. Like I said this is day 2 of the 4 day tour. It was...

Still in April. I spent 4 days in Death Valley with three very lovely women, all of which I had worked with before, V, Vivian, and Kate. It was very hot at the end of April, but I didn't mind. We started the tour shooting at Badwater Basin with V, Vivian and Kate posing at the salt formations. I was at this same spot earlier this year and the area was completely underwater which is a rare occurence. The three models were fearless. As the morning wore on, more and more people showed up a...

Just a little bit different today. I'm adding a few more of Fanny and posting some with a remote shoot with Anoush that I did in April before launching my end to April with the Venus tour. Anoush and I met on a UTadventure Tour a few years ago and have stayed in touch with one another. She is great to work with and a lovely subject. I'm headed out tomorrow to shoot with Kristy and Shantia so this post is a little early, but stay tuned for posts from that outing as well. We're still in Ap...

To make up for lost time last week (I was out in Utah shooting with 5 talented and beautiful models (stay tuned)) here's a few bonus photos featuring the lovely Jessica. She and I hadn't worked together for years. In fact the last time we worked together she had just found out she was pregnant with her first child. I contacted her and asked if she would be interested in shooting again and she leaped at the chance. She hadn't been modeling much since she had the baby and had been working h...

Still in April. Next up is one of my favorite models, Floofie, and a first time (for me) working with Artemis Fauna, a British model whom I'd wanted to work with for some time. If you've followed me, you know Floofie is the first art nude model I worked with some 8 years ago now. I don't know how many times we've worked together since our first shoot, but it's a lot. She never disappoints. We shot this remote from her home in Oregon to my home in Nevada. Like I said, she never disappoin...

A bonus post for you all from a shoot I did 3 weeks ago with the fabulous Fanny Muller. Fanny lives in Hungary and comes to the US regularly. She contacts me when she's here and we go out and spend some time in the Nevada desert. We keep talking about going to the Grand Canyon which is pretty close to me when I'm in Nevada. We didn't hit Redstone this day because the Park Service had a volunteer cleanup project going this day, so we ended up at a couple wide spots in the road that I'm fam...

Still in April starting off with Vivian. Vivian and I go way back. I was her first art nude shoot. Now she is a very popular model running her own tours. This was a remote shoot. She had taken a break from traveling and contacted me about doing a remote. I agreed. We shot this in her apartment in front of her patio door. At the end of the shoot, a small bird flew into the door and knocked itself out as they tend to do on occasion. Vivian was distraught over it, but I told her to just...

April was an extremely busy month last year. It's going to take several posts to get through the month and there will be a special treat at the end of April featuring 3 models over 4 days in Death Valley. To keep us going we'll start with Riona and Merrique. Riona has retired from modeling but one can only hope she'll return. She had a baby this year and announced no more modeling after the baby. I had two shoots with her in 2023, the last one when she was 6 months pregnant. As you can ...

Finishing up March with another shoot with Alina. This time a little more on the fetish side of things. Like I said in my earlier post, Alina has a whole house full of rooms catering to bondage. You can choose whatever you like. And as I said I think she does a booming business. This time I elected to shoot in one of her dungeons. It was very well equipped and she obviously knew how to use all of the equipment. In one of the photos you can see the scars where she had her breasts enlarg...

March was a full month for me. It usually is because many traveling models start their tours after a long winter, and Las Vegas is one of their early cities. Next up though is Meghan and Aurora, both remote shoots. Meghan is a very popular traveling model in Europe and I shot her at my friend's (Zoi) studio in The Netherlands remotely. She is a tall slender redhead as you can see. This was my one and only time working with her. I'll have to see if I can shoot with her again this year. ...

Still in March. I kind of went off the reservation with the next shoot I had. I found Alina advertising her dominatrix services on Purpleport and thought it would be fun to do a shoot with her. I wasn't up for the dominatrix experience mind you but thought it could be fun to shoot in a dungeon type setting. It turns out she and her partner have an entire house set up to photograph various forms of bondage and BDSM. I opted for the light version in this first shoot. Alina was great to wo...

Still in March. I told you it was a very busy month. March is when the weather finally warms up enough to schedule some in person shoots. Ashlee came over from LA and spent a few days in Vegas and we scheduled some time out at Redstone. Ashlee and I go way back. She lived in Vegas for quite a while and we originally met in a workshop in Vegas. It's always interesting to see what hardware, ink, or hair color she'll show up with, but she's really fun to work with. This may be the last ti...

Still in March, we have Bella and MinhLy. Bella comes to Vegas quite frequently and reached out to inquire about a shoot. I agreed and we met up out at my favorite location and spent an afternoon among the rocks shooting away. She is quite an attractive woman and has probably the best artwork I have seen as far as tattoos go. She's also a photographer so knows her way in front of and behind the camera. I think I was partial to redheads last year. I shot with a number of them. MinhLy an...
