Holding On, Pt. 13

After shooting for about half an hour or so, they were both so cold that I called it a wrap. They quickly got dressed and we headed back to the main house where they huddled under blankets and talked ...

Holding On, Pt. 12

The light in the small shed was fairly dark and bad, but a few times I used a small exposed bulb on a wire to illuminate them as they moved around on the bed, huddling together both for the photos and...

Holding On, Pt. 11

Not bad for having only met 20 minutes before this was taken, huh? What are your thoughts on couples photos? Is it intriguing? Would you like to see more?

Holding On, Pt. 10

Their connection here feels so real to me. What's your opinion?

Holding On, Pt. 9

As is always the case, Roarie talked a lot. And I mean, a lot. BUt that's part of her kinetic, enthusiastic charm. Roarie can preach about art, creativity, travel, social sciences, and a variety of ot...

Holding On, Pt. 8

I thought these moments were pretty sexy. What do you think? Is the illusion of intimacy created by these two strangers?

Holding On, Pt. 7

I was unsure of how far they would be going with their intimate touching, since I rarely shoot photos and only had briefly mentioned the concept to both of them via text. Since Roarie has participated...

Holding On, Pt. 6

For his part, Sufi had also never really modeled, but he was a very strong, confident, sexy man, and that helped him feel very comfortable boht in his own skin and with Roarie.

Holding On, Pt. 5

As always, Roarie is a natural, and her long, contemplative looks at the camera really make the whole process special and seemingly effortless.

Holding On, Pt. 4

Since Roarie is a lesbian and Sufi is gay, I wondered if they would have any chemistry. But within seconds I could see there would be no problem. They were naturals, and several times their quiet touc...

Holding On, Pt. 3

I took the photos in the little shed my hosts had arranged for me in their back yard. It was a renovated gardening shed, and though the room had been repainted and the bed was comfortable, the heater ...

Holding On, Pt. 2

While working on a large project in Amsterdam that just went public (I'll be posting in depth about that soon), I had one free day to kill upon it's completion. It just so happened that my friend and ...

I met this woman on a Friday, we took photos on a Sunday. Not the fastest I've ever made it happen, but close.

WTSGR II, Pt. 27

She was continually nervous to show her butt, both for fear of it being exposed and because she didn't think it had a shape. When I showed her the image, she was agog and incredibly impressed with her...

In the Deep, Pt. 13

I also enjoy the implied movement of this image. It's subtle and simple and natural.

In the Deep, Pt. 12

I like how strong and muscular she looks here.

In the Deep, Pt. 11

In the Deep, Pt. 10

Of course, she was enjoying every second of this, though secretly, after a very long few days, I was just looking forward to passing out on her sofa.
