JCP Photography

Allie

A color photograph at the same window.  There was another woman posing just out of the frame to the right on a couch in the living room.  Between shots her and I were visiting.  She told me she wasn't a model at the venue (she could have been) but had asked if she could join to get some photos taken for her personal use.  She was posing with another photographer in lingerie.  I didn't ask her to get a few photos of her, but I should have. :-(

We've moved to a different room in the house now.  This one and the next are of Allie sitting in front of the living room window.  This one is B&W, the next will be color.

A color version of Allie in front of the dressing table.  We were inside a victorian style house on location.

This is the same room as the last photo, but we've moved away from the window to this dressing table.  I like how the mirror captures her back.  I processed the photo in B&W to match the antiquey feel of the table.

Allie

This venue was a curtained window with lace curtains and the early morning sun was streaming through the window.  I enjoy the patterns the curtains made on her face, breasts, and torso.  I really like the way the shadow curls around her right nipple.

I spent a few hours with Allie at the Arizona Shoot Out in November at an old abandoned mining town.  There are several shooting venues ranging from garages to abandoned vehicles to mine headframes.  Allie was at ease at all the locations.

I know I've been away for a while.  I was in Nevada and had a very slow internet connection and couldn't upload photos.  Here's a set with Allie Summers.  I've shot with her a couple of times and she is very beautiful and photogenic.  She's also in demand because of her red hair.

Dancing in the Desert

Last one for now, but certainly not the end of this series.  Merrique and I have plans to work together at least a couple of more times this year, and I still have many more great photos from this shoot yet to come.  If you like these, tell your friends to come on over.

Dancing in the Desert

As some of you know, I've posted this photo before, But I think it's one of the best from this shoot and worthy of an encore appearance.

Dancing in the Desert

Merrique and I were introduced by a fellow photographer who told me at the time that I had to shoot with this woman.  Her style and mine would be a great match.  He was right.  Her and I always come up with some great photos when we shoot together, no matter the location.  Of course I just push the button.

Dancing in the Desert

Another change of wardrobe.  This skirt shows the wind blowing a little better.

Dancing in the Desert - The Dress

We shot at several locations on this day in several different outfits.  This was one of my favorites, but the rest were great as well.  It was windy this day but not as windy as it had been the day before.  Merrique told me she had shot the day before at Red Rocks near Las Vegas and had been nearly blown off of a perch.  You can see some effect of the wind in her hair.

Dancing in the Desert - The Dress

Merrique changed int this outfit and said she had bought it to go dancing at the clubs.  I guess she saw the shocked look on this Wyoming guy's face, laughed, and said she wore it over the top of a slip when she went out to the clubs.  Even with a slip, I think she would be turning some heads and have guys lining up to get on her dance card.  

Dancing in the Desert

The location is Cathedral Canyon. over by Pahrump, Nevada.  It's an abandoned religious shrine which has been significantly vandalized over the years.  It was windy during Merrique and my shoot but not as cold as it had been just a couple of weeks earlier.  Merrique and I have shot together several times over the last few years.  She's a real joy to shoot with and for that matter just spend the day with.

Dancing in the Desert

Merrique, Floofie and I had shot at this location a couple of weeks earlier but it was damn cold and windy.  We shot a few photos but basically the models and the photog were frozen out.  I have one rule.  If it's too cold for this boy from Wyoming to run around nude, it's too cold for the models. :-)  Merrique and I agreed that we had to come back when it warmed up.  

As an aside, my internet connection is very slow so I may have issues posting this set.

Wood Nymphs

So I hope you enjoyed this series and my photography with these three very beautiful and talented women.  There are many more photos from this series that I'll roll out over time, so stay tuned.

Wood Nymphs

And last but not least, this is the photo I went to Facebook jail over some months ago.  I posted it to a private group that wasn't so private and spent some time in FB Jail for "violating community standards".  I think it was worth it.

Wood Nymphs

I think this is probably the best of the series.  Three absolutely beautiful and talented women in the forest. 

Wood Nymphs

Finally got all three of them to look at the camera.  

Wood Nymphs

We finally found a sunny spot.  As a photog you don't realize how hard it is to get three women all looking in the same direction until you have to deal with it.  You'll notice in this shot and others they all look in a different direction, but at least they have their eyes closed here.  It's also difficult to get all of them in an implied pose.

Wood Nymphs

So I've shot in the forests of Idaho and Wyoming, but they're nothing like the forest in Oregon.  The foliage is so dense that you're always in the shade with filtered sunlight.  The other thing is that you deal with stinging nettles and other nasty stuff that you don't find much of in Wyoming and to which Bree is extremely allergic.  Near the end of the jaunt through the forest she got into something which caused a rash on her back.  She was worried that it would affect her ...

Wood Nymphs

I think this photo illustrates the lighting issues.  You go from highlights to deep shadows in the space of 3 feet.  Getting the light right on all three models required some fancy post processing and just getting to where you could start working on the lighting required some fancy camera work.  Most of these photos were shot at relatively high ISO so you got a lot of high highlights and a lot of noise.

Wood Nymphs

A behind the scenes photo.  Yep, my job as a fine art nude photographer is extremely difficult.  Not everyone has the stamina.

Wood Nymphs

Once I heard that three of my favorite models (Bree Addams, Kira Floofie, and Glass Olive) would be available in Oregon, I made plans to shoot with them over two days.  I give credit to Lin for the title of this series.  I think you'll agree that I'm one very lucky photog to have these three talented women pose for me.  The venue was very much different than what I'm used to shooting and I must confess that when I originally shot this series, the lighting and processing was overwh...

Bree, Floofie, and Olive

When I heard that three of my favorite models were together and available for a shoot in Oregon, a road trip was in order.  We spent one day shooting in Floofie's new house and one day out in the Oregon forest at Studio Sereno.  There will be more from this series starring three of the most talented and beautiful women in the business.  This is a special preview for my $5 and up Patrons.  Thanks for your support.

Floofie

And last but not least, the model that got me into shooting beautiful women.  For those of you that don't know the story, I saw a photo of her and said to myself, if I ever have the chance to shoot with her, I'm going to do it.  It turned out that she had a travel notice up and we got together and shot in Moab, Utah.  She is IMHO the best.  I tell everyone I started with the best and got spoiled.

Eclipse

This one uses just natural lighting.  While some photographers have a lot of issues with the harsh daylight, I can see the photo better in the natural light.  I have problems envisioning what a photo will look like using speed lights.  Eclipse and I shot together a couple of times this last year, and we plan on doing more shoots in the future.  

Eclipse

Another of the models I met at the Arizona Shoot Out, but didn't shoot with.  Eclipse and I spent the day at several locations ranging from the desert to the cement plant to the dry lake bed.  We got some great photos at every location.  I was experimenting with speed lights at this location versus just natural lighting which is what I normally use.  It's okay.

Emmy

Another of Emmy against the blue Nevada sky.  I really do hope that I get one more chance to shoot with this woman before she retires from modeling.

Emmy

I haven't shot with Emmy a lot, in fact just this one time.  I was having issues with my primary camera so I used my old tired 7D for this shoot with okay results.  Emmy is contemplating retirement from modeling which is too bad.  She and I spent the day at one of my favorite locations during this shoot.  She and I met during the Arizona Shoot Out, but I didn't shoot with her at that time.
