Hidden Away, Pt. 22

It didn't take her long before she was rolling around in the sand, allowing herself to be illuminated by a secondary hole in the rock.

Hidden Away, Pt. 21

With the fire burning down a bit, Sid changed into an awesome beach cover-up she had brought. It reminded me a lot of an outfit I had seen Captain Britain's girlfriend Meggan wear in an early issue of...

Hidden Away, Pt. 20

I was constantly on the watch for both on-lookers and the rising tide. A friend had warned me that it was easy to get trapped in these caves, and since I had never been down there before, I was defini...

Hidden Away, Pt. 19

This pose was definitely a winner. And I loved the subtle highlights of the fire illuminating her ribs and breast. It's those little details that can make a mediocre image become great.

Hidden Away, Pt. 18

Her torso here is just ridiculous, am I right?? 

Hidden Away, Pt. 17

Hidden Away, Pt. 16

Originally when we shot these, she didn't want her face shown, one of the many models that was fine being as naked as possible as long as she retained her anonimity. In the two years since we shot the...

Hidden Away, Pt. 15

She decided to lay on her back next, and I loved this pose so much I couldn't stop shooting images of her.

Hidden Away, Pt. 14

I quickly discovered that Sid always looked serious, being plagued with that "Resting Bitch Face," as she called it, but she also had a beautiful smile. She was fun and silly, never taking herself to ...

Hidden Away, Pt. 13

Her shape was simply phenomenal. Do you like the tanlines?

Hidden Away, Pt. 12

What do you think of these?

Hidden Away, Pt. 11

Hidden Away, Pt. 10

Hidden Away, Pt. 9

I also loved her piercing blue eyes. 

Hidden Away, Pt. 8

Another thing I loved about Sid was her prominent tan lines. A photographer friend of mine refused to call her by her name, always asking me "Take any more photos of Tan Lines lately?"

Hidden Away, Pt. 7

I thought that the feel of the shoot had a ship-wrecked quality to it, so she tried on these long white socks that looked a bit Old World to me. I'm not sure if it was the right choice stylistically, ...

Hidden Away, Pt. 6

Apart from her body, I was loving this shoot because of the textures and colors. The light of the fire caught the rocks beautifully, and the opening of the cave provided a second light source that add...

Hidden Away, Pt. 5

Her body seemed absolutely flawless.

Hidden Away, Pt. 4

At 18 years old, Sid was in her prime. Active and athletic, Sid didn't have to try hard to look as well as she did.

Hidden Away, Pt. 3

Sid was a sweetheart, down for anything, and not afraid to get wet, start a fire, or strip in public. I wish they were all so willing. A week into our friendship, I talked her into going for a drive t...

Hidden Away, Pt. 2

I met Sid through my model Hana, who had recommended her saying that she was very open. On our first meeting, Sid immediately got naked and began rolling around on my bed, so I was glad to see I hadn'...

Hidden Away, Pt. 1

Valentine's Day isn't a lot of fun for most people. When you're alone on this day when eveyone is sharing their love, you might feel like you want to run away and hide. So in honor of that, here's a s...

January's PERK!!

Thank you again for everyone who retained their $25-a-month Sponsorship level or higher for January!

Below is the link to the folder full of over 350 images from a test shoot in 2011. The day I met ...

Bombshell!

 I can finally share these images from around Christmas of my dear friend  Cherish. She is one of the most naturally beautiful women I've known in my life, and one of the sweetest and most f...

Bombshell, Pt. 12

Cherish is one of the best, and I can't say enough about how great she is. I have so many more images from this morning's shoot, but I'm going to try to spread them out a bit so as not to overwhelm yo...

Bombshell, Pt. 11

Clearly, she cracks herself up when being this silly.

Bombshell, Pt. 10

And then, without warning and being the dork that she is, she took off her bra and started playing with it, putting her panties on her head and making faces. Don't ask me why she did this, and I'm sur...

Bombshell, Pt. 9

Like most models, she isn't crazy about the oil I had her put on for the shoot, evven though she agrees, like they all do, that it helps to make the photos look good. Here she is being silly while wip...

Bombshell, Pt. 8

I love her elegance and grace here. It's so effortless and so delicate and lovely.

Bombshell, Pt. 7

And as always, yes, her body is 100% natural.
