JCP Photography

Adlee

She played a little basketball in college.  You can tell she had to have been good at it by her long legs.  When I shoot in the rocks like this, I try to find somewhere with a green background.  I think it sets the models skin tone off a little bit versus shooting her against the rock, but it depends on the light and wind.

Adlee

These boots were made for walking.  When you walk through the desert good footwear is required.  Everything in the desert stings, sticks, or bites.  We didn't want any of that to happen to her.

Adlee

This set was shot a year ago December in the Nevada desert.  Adlee's family lives in Mesquite, NV and she was visiting over the Christmas holiday.  Here she is walking through a desert wash. This is the last one in this set for now.  There will be more to come of Adlee and others.  It's just getting into warm spring shooting season, and I have several shoots set up for March and April.  I hope you'll bear with me and to those of you in the cold north land, stay warm.

Gwendolyn

Okay so I lied, I couldn't resist posting one more of this very beautiful woman.  I didn't think you all would mind.  :-))

Gwendolyn

Last one for now but we got many more great photos which I'll be sharing in the future.  Thank you all for your support.

Gwendolyn

The small glade had a number of different locations to use as a backdrop.  The sun kept going in and out of clouds all morning long making it a challenge from a lighting standpoint.  We overcame.

Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn has some dance training and it shows in her posing.  She is also a very beautiful woman.

Gwendolyn

This is the area where the motorcyclists stopped to change.  This was shot after he left.

Gwendolyn

Gwen had just gotten finished with a UT Adventure Tour and had spent a week traveling around Utah modeling for various photographers.  As you can see this was fall and a bit chilly, but not cold.  Right after this shoot Gwen would leave for the winter in New Zealand.  The fall colors in Idaho are much different than the colors in Wyoming.  In Idaho they're mostly reds, in Wyoming they're mostly yellows.

Gwendolyn

We were hiding from the first person who came through in this photo.  He was a motorcyclist who was changing just over the little rise behind us.

Gwendolyn

I shot this set in September 2016.  Gwen and I met half way between where we were staying which happened to be near Lava Hot Springs, ID.  We found this small forest glade after searching for a secluded spot for over an hour.  A couple of people happened by during the shoot, but didn't see us. Their loss. :-)

Candace

I really like the almost religious feel to this photo.  And as always, Candace rocked the shot.  This will be the last one in this set for now.  Thanks once again for following me and supporting my art.

Candace

This was shot in the kiln at the cement plant.  At this point Candace had given up on how her hair looked.  To this day when I send her these photos her first reaction is, "Oh my, look at that hair."  :-))

Candace

It was extremely windy when we shot at the cement plant.  Candace was not at all happy with how her hair looked in quite a few of the photos.

Candace

The venue has changed to the cement plant.  Both locations are within 15 minutes of one another, but the cement plant is by far used more by other photographers.

Merrique

As you can see, the model has changed but the coffee cup still remains.  I thought I would just throw this one in here.  The coffee cup eventually was broken by someone,

Candace

I found the coffee cup and placed it in the window.  There's no further significance. 

Candace

I've shot with Candace several times over the years, but she's currently retired and the owner of a thriving photography business in San Fransisco.  I keep telling her, she's too young to have retired from modeling.  These shots were taken in a ghost town just outside of Mesquite, NV.  I think you'll agree that Candace is a beautiful ghost.

Sekaa

Yes she has very long hair. We shot several implied nudes with her hair covering her entire body.  Kind of reminds you of a brunette "Cousin It" from the Addams Family.  

Sekaa

Sekaa does such a good job modeling, it's hard to get a bad photo of her.  The contrast between her smooth skin and the rock really makes every photo in this series a winner.  IMHO.  I look forward to working with her again.

Sekaa

Even though Sekaa is an amputee in this photo, I like her pose and the lines leading to the model. 

Sekaa

We found this little hole in the rock.  

Sekaa

Just an illustration of how tall the rock formation was.

Sekaa

Continuing along with this wonderful model.  Sekaa stopped by last November and she and I spent the day in the desert getting some great photos.  I mean almost every photo was great.  Here are a few more from our collaboration.  I like this shot because it conveys such a Peeping Tom vibe.  You're the hiker just wandering along when you happen on this beautiful woman.

Wonderhussy

Last one for now.  We got a lot of good photos from this session, but it was so doggone cold. Sarah was laying on wet, cold rocks most of the day.  We would shoot for a while, and then get back in the truck and turned on the seat warmers.  If anyone knows the engineer in GM that invented those things, I owe him big time. :-))

Wonderhussy

Like I said her and I always come away with some great photos.  I just push the button, she does the work.

Wonderhussy

The sun came and went all day long, mostly went, but we did manage to get some really great photos.  I haven't shot with Sarah in some time (my bad).  She is one of the most talented and desert knowledgeable ladies around Nevada.  We always have a great time discussing mines, abandoned mining towns, and out of the way places as we shoot.

Wonderhussy

A little BTS for you.  As she was attempting to put her poncho on while perched on a rock in the wind.

Wonderhussy

This was one of the photos we shot before we were run off of Whitney Pass.  At this point it was starting to rain pretty good.

Wonderhussy

So not to be deterred, we headed back down the pass toward what we thought was some sunshine poking through the clouds, shooting these photos along the way.  The light was great and Sarah as always was beautiful.
