Trial Run, Pt. 6

We progressed slowly, and I tried not to push her too much. We put on some music she liked and we eased into her comfort level. Still, it really only took about a minute or so before she was completel...

Trial Run, Pt. 5

After nixing a few of her more cliched ideas, I told her simply to put on a long shirt she had and play with it, tugging it to and fro enough to add an air of tease and mystery to her. She immediately...

Trial Run, Pt. 4

She needed something simple to start, a safe, private area to feel comfortable in, so she came over to my little place and we shot against a simple white wall in my living room. Sam was slightly nervo...

Trial Run, Pt. 3

Though she was obviously comfortable with herself and her body, she had never shot anything remotely revealing before, only posing along a beach in jeans and a tight t-shirt. Our first shoot had pushe...

Trial Run, Pt. 2

Samantha reached out to me via Instagram about a month ago, saying she was interested in modeling. Apart from working with a few local guys with cameras, she had never really done any modeling. After ...

Trial Run, Pt. 1

My second shoot with new model Sam could not have gone better. Here's just the first part of a long evening session.

After reaching completion, he needed to take a break, and she happily rested, waiting for a second round.

HOLY CRAP!! $2500 GOAL REACHED!!!

A DEEP AND SINCERE 'THANK YOU' TO YOU ALL. From the bottom of my heart, I cannot thank you all enough for supporting me in my work. For over a decade I made little to no money from my photography, and...

At Home With Erin

It was late in the day on that Spring day in 2009, and Erin messaged me that she was bored. She ended up stopping by, removing her clothes, and hanging out on my bed, discussing the trials and tribula...

Coming to Life, 2/2

I had only shot and met Stephanie once before, and knew she was very tall, long and lean, so I began connecting the spikes with a long strip of cardboard and matching and blending the paint of the spi...

Coming to Life, 1/2

A few years ago I felt the need to get a little dark and weird and creative. I missed getting my hands dirty making actual things, so I began turning cardboard and paper mache and paint into spikes. I...

Interlude, Pt. 15

Overall, the shoot didn't last more than 45 minutes, and I try never to let them last more than an hour or two, maximum. I hadn't had much of an idea when she arrived, and we easily achieved the goals...

Interlude, Pt. 13

As usual, the sweater eventually came off and we took a few last shots of her in that moody light, reclining like so many women have throughout centuries of paintings.

Interlude, Pt. 12

I also found it funny when she finally stretched out on the sofa. What I consider to be a sofa of average length seemed almost doll-sized in comparison to her. When she stretched her whole self out, h...

Interlude, Pt. 11

Humorously, what passes as a "thigh-high sock" for her is longer than most people's whole bodies, and I remember holding one out and having it reach from my toes to my navel.

Interlude, Pt. 10

As usual, whenever I'm done with my idea, she asks if she can get a few soft, cute, and often commercial-looking images, this time in knee-high socks and a sweater. Of course, I unhesitatingly obliged...

Interlude, Pt. 9

She was definitely a little nervous about this angle, but again, she trusted me not to reveal too much. Once I showed her the image on the back of the camera, she immediately relaxed and went back to ...

Interlude, Pt. 8

Though she is definitely not interested in promoting a lot of nudity in her images, she somehow trusts me to be the only photographer that she will disrobe for. I'm honored by this, and always try to ...

Interlude, Pt. 7

My idea for the shoot was something simple and natural and intimate, something she and I had never tried before. Mimicking one of my idols, Herb Ritts, I went for something darker and moodier, as has ...

I love her fresh-faced expression here.

Interlude, Pt. 5

Despite her hindrances, she is a natural, and working with her is always a relaxing pleasure.

Interlude, Pt. 4

Unfortunately, Chase is not very flexible, so getting her to squeeze into the darkened, narrow space in my bedroom proved to be continuously difficult. Her legs are so long that they are hard to bend,...

Interlude, Pt. 3

Chase really is a natural, down-to-earth person. For as intimidating as her size can be, she is just another fun, klutzy person trying to make it in this world.

Interlude, Pt. 2

Chase is huge, a 6'4" amazonian who hits her head when walking through normal doors. I even had to turn off my ceiling fan when she came in so it wouldn't bonk her on the head.

Interlude, Pt. 1

My model and friend Chase Kennedy has the longest legs of any model in the United States. Somehow she managed to squeeze into my bedroom for this dark, moody shoot, and I'm happy to share them here wi...

Support System, 2009

When I took this self-portrait, I had just gone through a particularly tough year dealing with models. I had made myself available to several women in that time, advising them when asked, listening...

McKenzie Comes Clean, Pt. 36

Knowing we could keep going indefinitely, I finally told her we needed to officially stop, and I finally extricated myself from the shower and gave her some privacy. Another great shoot was in the can...

McKenzie Comes Clean, Pt. 35

And once again, even though I said we were done, I kept clicking away, and she kept posing for the camera. Little moments like this make what I do so much fun and terribly easy.
