Art and fashion with Zoi

The first two images were shot with a Lomo Petzval using a shift/tilt lens that allows twisting of the focal area. Lighting is a direct lamp diffused through a 5-in-one popup modifier.

The ne...

Sylph Sia on the chain gang

This is from an abandoned soap factory, which, unfortunately, is now cordoned off as it’s falling apart. I only got to shoot there once, with Australian Sylph Sia.

When I go in a place like...

Tanias Bath BTS

Short iPhone BTS with Tania Aresti in a bathtub.

Tanias' bath

Here is a set with Tania Aresti in the Lake District. I had rented an Airbnb house with this bathtub (one of the reasons why I rented it). After taking several outdoor shots with Tania, she was col...

An exception

I generally don’t like to light models from two sides, and in this case, the model is standing in a window alcove that wraps around on three sides:

The backlight on light from the left is m...

Just a blouse

It's an oldie with an anonymous model.

I’m totally in love with the first image; the cheekiness in the model's expression is priceless.

Lighting combines a direct lamp (which creates ...

Oval exhibition

This is from a private workshop I did in Scotland in a vast mansion. Shooting this is almost as easy as it gets: Beautiful interior room backlit with wrap-around windows and a gorgeous model. What ...

Love me or leave me

And Old favorite with Victoria Alieko. She’s an experienced erotic model, but she also wanted to do some more artsy stuff. This is from a medium silver umbrella above the camera and placing her c...

CB shibari

This model has gone through something of a transformation lately:

When we first talked, she would only shoot implied nudes. I declined as I generally find it too limiting unless the model is ...

Shruti and the body chain BTS

BTS for the shoot with Shruti

Shruti in chains

I came across this model by accident and was intrigued by her look.

We have few women of color in Denmark, and as you say, “the neighbor's grass is always greener.”

We set up a shoo...

Shady Eros BTS

Shady Eros

In Lanzarote with Wiana, we shot the Art Nude on Location: Mastering natural light. I was careful not to make the movie scenes focus on eroticism. But since both she and I like to shoot more erotic...

BTS with Katya Clover in the crack

Clover in a crack

This is one of those that almost got away:

Some years ago, I visited Kullaberg with Katya Clover. 

We shot many different images, but I particularly like this one as it deviates fr...

Herodiade

I don’t think I ever will tire of seeing images of this Italian powerhouse of a woman.

Sunlight and reflected light from the balcony. There is a bit of a Helmut Newton feel to this: He was ...

Sofa Availability

I’m not one to reveal a model’s age, but I was flabbergasted when she told me.

This is another example of why having skill and style pays off:

Grace 108x doesn’t currently model, ...

Daniella Carter on a Box.

I guess this is one of the perks of specializing in shooting nudes and having excellent technique and edit skills: Daniella Doesn’t shoot nudes, as her perception is too many photographers would ...

Marble on a stool

The Gorgeous Ashleigh Rae is doing her thing on a chair.

It’s such a pleasure working with professional models who are used to posing. 

Ashleigh had never shot nude before but wa...

From above so below

The Endless Sinner is doing her thing. This series will have more, but I wanted to give you a preview.

I experimented with the light here since I had just acquired a boom a few days before. 2024-02-10 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

The cigar box

Depani Malika chillin’ in a phone booth set up in a washing room on a film set.

The light in there is so lovely.

Fanny by request

One of my Patrons asked if I had more images with Fanny Muller, so I dug up the archives, and the answer, as you can see, is YES, I did indeed.

Some are duos with Carina Casa; I hope you don�...

Siren at work

Belzen model conjures up a storm so she can lure unsuspecting sailors ashore.

Well, not really, but as you can see on the rocks, we did encounter some rain on this shoot (and ended up waiting...

Honey on the stairs

Miss Birdette AND Nausicaa Yami in an exquisite lingerie set - from Honey Birdette. This was shot with a combination of ambient light and a Profotoo B10 with an umbrella to light the model slightly...

D Genvievre's back

The gorgeous D Genvievre in my studio chair. I can modify how the daylight strikes the model by tinkering a little with the blinds in my studio. This is precisely the same place and light as yester...

Claras' see through top

Clara Sinclair brought this beautiful transparent blouse, and I thought it would suit my vintage sofa well, so we shot a set with that. Somehow, having a little clothing makes the set more sexy/ero...

Fencing

This is an older shoot from the first time I was shooting at Arsenic:

They reached out and, upon learning I was coming to LA, offered me to use their house in Los Feliz. They also offered to ...

Moroccan Bathroom BTS

Here is a birds eye view of the shot in the Moroccan bathroom. The full edited movie can be found in the 2024-02-02 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Rococo lighting

This style is such a classic for me:

A bit of sunlight streaming in through a window hits a wall, creating a central framing for a model - and some exciting shadows to add depth.

The am...
