Where Do Models Come From?
Monday, October 22nd, 2012
I’ve been photographing nude models for a long time. Much longer than most of my current models have been alive. I was shooting nudes long before there was an internet. Long before there were internet modeling sites and full-time traveling internet models. Times have changed. Back in those dark ages before the internet my models […]
All My Life’s a Circle
Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
The trip I took to Maine this summer was special in many ways. It marked a decade since I had made my first trip to Maine to do nude photos, back in 2002. The shoot I did on the coast with two wonderful models was my “Eureka” moment when I realized that I should be […]
Sometimes the Magic Works; Sometimes It Doesn’t
Saturday, October 6th, 2012
“Sometimes the magic works; sometimes it doesn’t.” That was one of the many wise things that Old Lodge Skins said in the movie, Little Big Man. And it wasn’t something he was upset about. It was just a fact. Well, it’s true of the magic of photography. Especially true when you are dealing with the […]
Angie’s Back
Sunday, September 30th, 2012
As you may remember from an earlier post, Angie recently had a baby. I enjoyed photographing them together in my studio. Well, Angie is back as a model and she’s as lovely as ever. So we went back to our favorite location to do some new photos. I’ve shot Angie here time and time again […]
Farewell New York
Friday, August 24th, 2012
This will be the final post from the shoot near New York City with Erica and Venus. It was a great day of shooting with two wonderful models. The weather was perfect…solid overcast with occasional light rain. Just what I look for when I’m trying to shoot nudes in nature. And, don’t worry, this isn’t […]
Erica’s All Wet
Sunday, August 19th, 2012
When I talk to models about working with me I try to always promise them that they can plan on getting cold and wet and dirty. I put my models through a lot to get the photos I’m after. Most of the models I work with understand what I’m after and what is required on […]
Birth of Venus
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012
I couldn’t help thinking of that painting when I started looking at these photos of Venus de Milo from our shoot just outside New York City. Of course, these photos are nothing like the famous painting. But the model is Venus and she is splashing around in water. That’s close enough for me. There was this […]
It’s Been a While
Friday, August 10th, 2012
Sorry I’ve been gone so long. I’ve been really, really gone. As in very limited internet, cell service, hell, not even any TV. I’ve been off in the wilds of Maine. It was a great trip with a bunch of friends, both photographers and models. I’ll tell you more about that trip in later posts. […]
More Crimson in the Gorge
Tuesday, July 31st, 2012
No time to write tonight. And it may be a while before I’m able to post again. Lots going on that you’ll hear about here eventually. Meanwhile, here are a few more photos of the fantastic Crimson Reign from our shoot in the gorge. Enjoy.
Crimson on the Rocks
Saturday, July 28th, 2012
After we shot at the quarry Crimson and I hiked to some of the wonderfully colored rock cliffs that make up this gorge. This despite the cut on her foot that she got when she slipped on some of the rocks around the quarry. I cleaned up and bandaged the cut using my first aid […]
