Carrie and Eden in Black and White
November 24th, 2023
A few black and white photos of Carrie and Eden hanging out at Proparazzi.
Netti and Water
November 20th, 2023
There was a river where Netti and I were shooting, and it was hot that day, so we decided to take advantage of the situation.
Hanging out under the bridge…
And almost drowning in vegetation.
In the Ruins
November 16th, 2023
Spent some time wandering around some ruins in Southern Indiana with the beautiful and talented Netti.
More to come from this shoot.
Further Back
November 13th, 2023
Well, it’s the same shoot as the last post, but these were shot with my old single-element soft-focus lens and processed for my “Brigman-White” project.
The wonderful, beautiful models are again, Rachel and Eden.
Rachel returning to the scene of my discovery of “the figure in nature” with her 20 years ago.
Eden, the lovely model who I’ve been working with quite a bit in the past few years.
So, with these photos I conclude my visit to the beginnings of my work with the nude in nature.
Back to the Beginnings
November 8th, 2023
In May 2002 I made a trip to Maine to photograph nudes on the rocky coast. It turned out to be a eureka moment for me. I discovered that day that what I was supposed to be photographing all these years since I started in the 1960s is the female figure in nature. So that’s what I’ve concentrated on ever since that day.
In May 2022 I decided to mark the anniversary of that important day in my life by returning to Maine and doing another shoot at the same location as two decades before.
I took along a current favorite model, Eden.
Also, I was able to connect with one of the two models I had photographed way back then. And Rachel was willing to model for me again.
The result, as you can see, was another great shoot with great models at a great location.
Rachel is still a lovely woman and a very talented model.
More Than A Test
November 5th, 2023
When I bought my new Nikon Z7ii and finally got the Nikkor 24-120 lens to go with it, I set up a shoot with a new (to me) model to test them out together. Rayn Ravyn is a beautiful lady and a great subject for this test.
I’ve added these black and white conversions to my current portrait project. I think they fit very well.
And, of course, we did some nudes in addition to the test photos and the black and whites.
Netti Nude
November 1st, 2023
Yes Netti and I shot a few nudes at this shoot. She is such a lovely lady, how could I resist.
More Netti
October 29th, 2023
Some more “Noir” and more of Netti.
Netti is a lovely lady and a joy to work with.
Netti Portraits
October 22nd, 2023
During our “Noir” shoot I also did several portraits of Netti.
Netti is a lot of fun to work with and has a great personality. You can see a little of that coming through in these last two photos.
Noir Netti
October 18th, 2023
Netti Compton came to the studio and we decided to shoot some Noir-style things. Be careful of that dame! Netti is a great model and great fun to work with.
While we were at it I did a few soft-focus things.
And I couldn’t resist playing around with a few other effects in software just for fun.
