Fretless, Pt. 1

I finally had the pleasure of meeting and working with the wonderful Jordan River , who, in just a couple years, has created a stunning library of content. We spent an afternoon experimenting with colored lights and having a grand time!

McKenzie is so perfect, it is hard to talk about her without sounding hyperbolic. She's funny, talented, smart, kinda naughty, and more than willing to go the extra mile to achieve a creative goal.

I haven't felt very good about the double exposures I've shot recently, I just haven't been "feeling" the process like I did a year ago. So today, as I ran errands after a long and hectic week, I took a few minutes and shot some clouds at sunset, which were unusually thick and billowy for this area due to an abundance of recent rain.

No one had ever seen these images of McKenzie, so it is nice to finally share a few of them.

Back in August, McKenzie came to visit me in my hometown for a productive weekend of photos, drinking, and laughter. On Sunday morning, only an hour before she drove away, she quickly put on this outfit and we shot a few base images for later double exposures. Today, seven months later, I finally went out and shot the sky and clouds over a few of the images. What do you think of these?

 This special set I shot in Amsterdam last year is somewhat different from my normal fair. I hope you enjoy this new, never-seen-before work!

Since I have posted every weekday of this month, I'm going to change things up a bit this one time. There are over 70 images in this set, so I will share my favorites of this set at the $25 Level and the rest as a folder for the $55 Level.

Holding On, Pt. 13

After shooting for about half an hour or so, they were both so cold that I called it a wrap. They quickly got dressed and we headed back to the main house where they huddled under blankets and talked for another hour before we all went our separate ways.

Holding On, Pt. 12

The light in the small shed was fairly dark and bad, but a few times I used a small exposed bulb on a wire to illuminate them as they moved around on the bed, huddling together both for the photos and in order to keep warm. I liked this one.

Not bad for having only met 20 minutes before this was taken, huh? What are your thoughts on couples photos? Is it intriguing? Would you like to see more?

Their connection here feels so real to me. What's your opinion?

Holding On, Pt. 9

As is always the case, Roarie talked a lot. And I mean, a lot. BUt that's part of her kinetic, enthusiastic charm. Roarie can preach about art, creativity, travel, social sciences, and a variety of other topics that range from fascinating to odious. Still, she's an absolute sweetheart that I always have a soft spot for, having let her stay at my home in California several times now.

Holding On, Pt. 8

I thought these moments were pretty sexy. What do you think? Is the illusion of intimacy created by these two strangers?

View Post

Holding On, Pt. 7

I was unsure of how far they would be going with their intimate touching, since I rarely shoot photos and only had briefly mentioned the concept to both of them via text. Since Roarie has participated in countless shoots with other models of both sexes, I let her take the lead, allowing her to call the shots. I think she did well, don't you think?

For his part, Sufi had also never really modeled, but he was a very strong, confident, sexy man, and that helped him feel very comfortable boht in his own skin and with Roarie.

Holding On, Pt. 5

As always, Roarie is a natural, and her long, contemplative looks at the camera really make the whole process special and seemingly effortless.

Holding On, Pt. 4

Since Roarie is a lesbian and Sufi is gay, I wondered if they would have any chemistry. But within seconds I could see there would be no problem. They were naturals, and several times their quiet touching and slow, long hugs felt very real. I didn't really get a chance to discuss it with them afterwards, but neither one of them seemed to have a problem with the situation in any way.

I took the photos in the little shed my hosts had arranged for me in their back yard. It was a renovated gardening shed, and though the room had been repainted and the bed was comfortable, the heater that had been installed seemed to be from before World War II. Needless to say, I'd fallen asleep shivering for a week, and so Sufi and Roarie were now suffering the same fate. At least they had each other to help stay warm.

While working on a large project in Amsterdam that just went public (I'll be posting in depth about that soon), I had one free day to kill upon it's completion. It just so happened that my friend and model Roarie, who travels internationally almost constantly, was in the area that week and had time to meet up with me. One of the hair stylists on my project was Sufi, this really cool, gay, Iraqi Kurd who had been raised in Amsterdam and was a joy to work with and be around. Via text message, I as...

I met this woman on a Friday, we took photos on a Sunday. Not the fastest I've ever made it happen, but close.

WTSGR II, Pt. 27

She was continually nervous to show her butt, both for fear of it being exposed and because she didn't think it had a shape. When I showed her the image, she was agog and incredibly impressed with her shape, asking me to take a few more.

Of course, she was enjoying every second of this, though secretly, after a very long few days, I was just looking forward to passing out on her sofa.
