Ayn Meets Anne
June 11th, 2021
Back when Ayn was pregnant we did a shoot, before the plague arrived, in the style of Anne Brigman for my Brigman/White project.
This was my last shoot with Ayn. Soon she was busy dealing with her lovely new baby boy. Then the plague arrived.
But the plague is fading away, we are all getting vaccinated, her baby is becoming a little boy, and I hope to soon be able to work with Ayn again. She’s a great model and a great friend. I’ve missed her over the past couple years. I’m looking forward to making art with her again soon.
In the Woods with Eden
June 6th, 2021
I’ve recently been working with a “new” model. Actually I met Eden quite a few years ago. We did one shoot and then she pretty much vanished from the model world.
A couple years ago Eden contacted me again and said she was ready to get back into modeling. Then the plague hit us all and we were not able to get together to shoot while that was going on.
But we seem to be coming to the end of the plague and I’ve been celebrating that by doing a few shoots with Eden.
As the weather has improved we were finally able to do what Eden had wanted to do all along, an outdoor shoot. I haven’t had time to edit these photos myself, but, as is my custom, I gave all the photos to Eden for her to look at and do whatever she wanted. She sent me a few of her favorites and I edited them for her. I thought she did a very good job selecting the photos she liked, so I decided to go ahead and share some of her selections with you here.
This final image is my favorite of the ones that Eden chose.
Eden is a fine model and very enthusiastic about us working together, so I’m sure you will be seeing a lot more of her on this blog.
Fine Brandy
June 2nd, 2021
Every now and then a lady will contact me and want to model for me. That’s a nice thing.
A couple years ago Brandy did just that. Of course, you never know if a particular person is going to be a good model.
As soon as I saw Brandy I knew she was going to be someone I wanted to work with. And, as you can see, I was right. She did a great job on this, her first nude shoot.
We even did a few photos for my Brigman/White Project, like this one:
Jenny in Black and White
May 27th, 2021
A few photos of Jenny Anne Rose in black and white.
Just hanging out at one of my favorite waterfalls.
Of course, I couldn’t resist playing around with one of my orbs for some of the shots.
Jenny at the Waterfall
May 22nd, 2021
A few photos today from a shoot with the fantastic Jenny Anne Rose.
This is one of my favorite places to shoot. It’s only a few minutes from my home.
A great thing about waterfalls: They are constantly changing. So every time I return here, it is different.
And, of course, there are lots of other interesting locations all around the area, so everything isn’t always shot at the waterfall.
But the waterfall does draw me back time and time again.
Different Ways to See Neva
May 13th, 2021
I thought I’d share a few different ways I’ve been playing with editing some photos of Nevaeh Lleh.
Above is a straight black and white version. Below a toned version in the manner that I edit files for my Brigman/White project.
And below, the same edits on a different file.
I just thought the comparisons might be of interest.
I’m very unhappy to report that WordPress has done an automatic update and, as usual, the changes have made things much worse. It took a good half hour to figure out how to upload my photos so that they would display properly. I don’t know who is doing these changes, but I really wish they would stop it. WordPress just gets harder and harder to work with.
Nevaeh Lleh Visits
May 9th, 2021
My friend, the beautiful, talented model and delightful person, Nevaeh Lleh, visited all too briefly on a drive across the country. We had time for a quick shoot at her B and B.
It was great to get to visit with her for a bit and, of course, we did get a few nice photos.
I’ll have a few more to post soon.
This last one gives you a little better idea what Neva is really like when she isn’t striking a model pose.
Things You See in a Parking Lot
April 30th, 2021
Just something I noticed while in a parking lot the other day. Shot with my cell phone.
Moon Shot
April 28th, 2021
Did a shoot with Jenny Anne Rose and the full moon this week.
Pinhole Day 2021
April 26th, 2021
Yesterday was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. I always try to make some pinhole photos to mark that annual event.
This year I was fortunate. The weather was very good. The light was good. And I had two excellent models to work with.
The three photos above are from the first shoot with the amazing Jenny Anne Rose. We went to a “Hobbit House” at a local park and Jenny provided an appropriate outfit.
The shadowy figure above snuck into a couple of the pinhole photos. Not sure who that is. Strider maybe?
Then at the end of the day I went to a local lake with Eden, another fine model.
The light and reflections were wonderful.
So now I have a serious problem. I can only upload one photo to the Pinhole Day website. I’m going to have to take a few days to think about which to select. Let me know if you have a favorite.
All of these photos were made with my Panasonic GX8 and a Pinwide wide angle pinhole.
