Memoirs of Steph

Venom

Several people suggested we do the upside down kiss but reversed, sadly we already ripped up the suit beyond using it again. Maybe we will get another one sometime.

Spider Suit Part 2

I have more from the ripped suit portion of the shoot coming soon, but here is what we have so far.

Soft Light

One of our first nude shoots with strobe lighting and a large diffuser. I was really happy with the lighting however, the wrinkled paper backdrop was really bothering me. Paper rolls get expensive ...

Spider MJ

Part 1 of the Spider shoot from today. Part 2 will be in the studio. Look for the exclusive content and behind the scenes video soon. I'll add these to the gallery for downloads. 

Around the House

More shots from the quarantine. I remember being happy about not working with other models for a while and getting a break to focus on shoots with Steph. These shoots got a little more risque, part...

No Bra Club and Not Pierced

I doubt this classifies as art... however these are questions I get asked. Why Steph wont wear bra's and is she pierced? 

Wearing bra's is very uncomfortable for her, and she is not pier...

From Steph :)

I mentioned in the video a few days ago I would be making more efforts to engage on Patreon. We are planning to shoot this weekend and film another podcast type video. If you have any questions/fee...

Arrows by Day

She kept drinking tea during the shoot so that became the name. The goal on this shoot yesterday was to fake golden hour using a light gelled coming in through the window in our living room. We tri...

Podcast and Livestreams on Patreon

I am filming a short podcast with Steph this afternoon. I have gotten a few questions for me and Steph on IG and private messages on Patreon. If there is any question you have in particular feel fr...

Simplicity

Earlier nude concepts involved very little in terms of posing, props, or even lighting. I didn't know exactly how to approach nude shoots other than the fact I wanted to showcase her form.  2022-01-05 15:52:04 +0000 UTC View Post

As promised here is a behind the scenes look at last week's shoot along with some lighting tips just to get you thinking.

Other Ways To Relax

The upside down shots don't look so comfortable but they are fun to look at. The chair poses came at a request from Pat, thanks for the request.

This was a one light setup. I used a 5 foot diffuser with a gelled modeling light. I was shooting around f1.4 with ISO ranging from 800-1600. M...

One Light Portrait

Sometimes simplicity is more powerful in terms of light and even wardrobe and props. A few days ago Steph and I started a new series of bodyscape work. It involves heavy use of light and shadow, po...

BTS: Cleopatra

This shoot involved a 2 light setup. I knew I would be adding a background in post, so I used a back light to help separate her from the background. You can see I was using a 5 foot octobox as my k...

Falling Ladies

From yesterday's IG post, here is the unedited and bts look at the shot with Val and Steph. Steph and Val are going to be in a new shoot together soon.

Contrasting Elements

I have experimented with a number of props and wardrobe possibilities to compliment the female form. Plastic wrap, VHS tape, foil, paint, to name a few. 

This shoot in particular started...

From the "Robber" Shoot

I wanted to do a shoot using the light bars as a jail cell so to speak, and a gobo to create a spot light. This was a concept shoot, and we did not have a lot of time, but we will do this shoot aga...

Natural Light

Yesterday we filmed a small tutorial, start to finish, using as little as possible. The emphasis was natural light, and use of highlights and shadows. 

I used my canon R5 and a 50mm 1.2 ...
