Memoirs of Steph

Tiers Online

I've talked with a few of you privately, polled the audience, and given this some thought to the matter, so here it is...The new format.

Hopefully this new set up will allow for a more custom...

Tiers? Let me know what you would support.

Originally, I got a Patreon to showcase artwork I post on social media in an uncensored manner in my artwork of Steph and her creative journey (her digital memoir). 

I work full time as ...

A Weekend in NYC

We were working for clients all weekend, but I managed to get a few shots of her.

Taken By The Sea

A short clip from a short film I made in 2020. The focus was combining the beauty of both surroundings and subject.  

Unfinished

Another unfinished photo, with only some basic editing for exposure. Here you can see use of a one light setup and using the white wall as some fill lighting. I have a large black foam board to use...

From the "Doubles" Series

Messing around one day with multiple in camera exposures. I'd need a bigger space for so many to work, but still fun for practice.

Art in Mind

When shooting implied or nude work you run the risk of getting trashy really quick. Of course, some may view the finest of art work as trashy, (a lot of the interpretation dwells within the viewer)...

Touch of Light

Yesterday's shoot ended with these looks. I really liked her posing, and her delicate movements. It's hard to describe or visually showcase how beautiful she is. Maybe, I am just biased.

I'll...

Summer Looks 2022

Today’s shoot involved several fun looks. I’ll have a more exclusive set up tomorrow. So far I’m really happy with how the shoot came out. Happy Mother’s Day.

Sassy Class

A montage of the "Sassy Class" shoot from earlier this year.

I think video, even short clips, can help bring more of a story to the shoot. The focus here was desaturation, white, and black, i...

More from Dexter

A new edit at the shoot everyone decided was a dexter themed look. I need to watch that show I guess?

I edited a video today from the Sassy Class shoot. Ill have that uploaded tomorrow.

Lunar Dust 2

A few more edits from the "Lunar Dust" series last fall. I wanted to go heavy on texture and contrast on these edits.  Her soft features with the coarse powder was the element. I boosted the c...

Basic Exposure Editing

Skip to 1:15 for the 7minute tutorial

From phone pictures to portraits with high end mirrorless cameras exposure is the key fundamental. Your exposure is captured and then further enhanced in...

Lighting and Editing

When I started out and did not have many lighting options, I resorted to low key shoots that often were almost too dark/dramatic. This was a shoot several years back, using a canon 5Dm4 and an Orli...

Form & Figure

From time to time I make sure to get very simple casual shots focused on her figure. The on going project is called "Form & Figure" and while at the moment it may just look like nude photos, I ...

Super Woman (Steph)

Today's creative shoot. I only had time for some quick initial edits, so more to come.  Let me know what you think of these.

Delicate Rose

More from the Delicate Rose shoot. New edits as of today. I got a lot of positive feedaback on the exclusive tier. That will be something I will make available (easing into it) in May. 

Text to Art

Want more of this content?

This is a quick look into the project I am putting together. Texts have been a big part of our relationship. Traveling, and being a part, but we connect any way we ...

Flamingo

This was Shay's concept. A little out there, but very creative. She of course did an amazing job. Steph is fairly flexible but  I was surprised she could hold that pose for the length of time ...

Update

We are doing another body paint shoot today, I'll have some bts and final shots up soon. I also have a new series "Texts to Art"  I've been working on. As always, if you have any requests, let...

More from the Spartan Series

She posted this to her IG today, so I figured I would coordinate the post. I posted the gallery back in November or December but this shoot has been one of the more popular shoots. People have boug...

The Female Form

Since I have known Steph, she always makes efforts to treat everyone kind and with respect. She draws from her own negative experiences when people cast judgment her way.

 I've witnessed...

Plants

We photoshoot every week, but I've been out of town all week filming. I asked if she would do a cell phone selfie shoot, and this is what she sends me. 

She loves her plants.

Physique

Before her physique show she was competing in she asked to do a shoot showcasing her progress. I knew she had been training hard but when I saw her without clothes before the shoot I was amazed at ...

Creativity and Barriers

Someone recently emailed from me tiktok and complimented me on my work, and asked what they should do if they have a desire to create but not sure how or where to start.

The Mummy

Her favorite movie is the 1999 The Mummy with Brandon Fraiser, so I figured we should do the shoot. 40$ worth of cloth and Steph with a one light set up. She was absolutely beautiful during the sho...

To The Top

This was part of the bodyscape project I did. I never used this photo in the final gallery however. It's more of a joke than anything, but is still a nice approach to portraying her features as ter...

Grid Lights

I've always loved dramatic low key shoots. (low lit sets or subjects) A great way to achieve that adjusting your camera settings or modifying your light source (or both). I ordered some grids to fi...

Focused Perspective

I've been thinking a lot about crop factors when it comes to presenting photos or videos. Macro and Micro perspectives change a photo entirely. The crop factor adds to the focus and the overall mes...

Another from the Crusader Shoot

As you can imagine she said this suit hurt to wear...
