Memoirs of Steph

Nude Woman on Couch 2023 (Portrait)

Nude Art. I don't know I would hang this on our wall (just yet) but maybe one day.

Night Boudior

From yesterday's shoot. I thought she looked very beautiful here. I used one key light (continuous) and 2 practical lights in the background.

Queen’s Chamber

We did some new looks today in my friends studio. We spent the afternoon creating photos and video with several looks to include nude. I’ll have that project ready this week in addition to a few ...

Lace Lingerie

Part of yesterday's shoot, I'll have much more interesting looks and a video tomorrow.

Recycled

After a client shoot today we re used the backdrop paper. Steph insisted I join her. Yes I had pants on lol. 

I used a doubled stacked 1/4 black mist filter on a 85mm at f1.2 to get the ...

Newest Text to Art Entry

We haven’t traveled apart for a while so it’s nice to text again. These were all I got today :(

Drama (Continued)

Yesterday I posted about dramatic lighting using natural light, here is a shot using strobe. Strobe used to intimidate me. Not only the technical aspect of connecting it to your camera and adusting...

Traveling

She’s traveling this week, meaning I’m home to fend for myself. We haven’t traveled separately since military days. This is usually the time I get some text to art kinda content… 🤞

Dramatic Light

Ask yourself where is the lighting coming from, then determine what light you like and what light you do not like. 

This was the same shoot, just slightly different positioning and setti...

More from "Fusion"

You know me I dont mind snapping some bts.

Secret Garden

The first photo is a new edit the to Forest Fairy gallery. 

As I have said before, my strengths in photography are in lighting, not so much in posing. When it is just Steph and I, I feel...

Out in Williamsburg

Today I went to go visit with my dad for the afternoon. My dad was a hobby photographer for years and always pushed me to photograph (although I leaned more towards videography.) I guess the fact t...

Becoming Art

This is on of the first home studio shots I got of Steph. I had seen this pose on a photography forum and really wanted to try it with Steph. I was tired of looking at other models, or photos that ...

2016-2018

I’ve been taking photos of Steph since I knew her in 2011. If you look in my phone or on my server you can see I really started taking photos of Steph seriously around 2016. I started photographi...

Flooding Emotion (Appreciation Tier)

She's described this feeling to me. I don't know that I can articulate the feeling I have witnessed on text...

What?

Sometimes I am going through old galleries and come across really weird or dumb concepts I wanted to try at the time. I don't know why Steph puts up with it but I am glad she does.

This conce...

Morning Light BTS/Tutorial (Fox & Appreciation)

I'm not sure this qualifies as a tutorial but it may give you some inspo to put some thought into your photos next time you go take some. You don't need a whole lot of gear just some nice natural l...

Blank Canvas (Full Gallery)

I posted a few of these shots we got from last weekend a few days ago but here is the full curated gallery. If you missed the video, that post is a couple days back as well.

The next look/the...

Morning Light

Here's the shoot we did this afternoon to kick off Feb. 

Would you be interested in a bts of how we did this shoot? If so I filmed a very basic one.

Lingerie Behind the Scenes

Fur Coat

A throwback to one of my favorite shots of Steph on cold day in the home studio. I had this vision of creating a renaissance style or classical image. I took two versions, one of her looking toward...

Blank Canvas Video

A quick artistic summary of the weekend.

I shot this at 120 fps at 4k using a 50 and 85mm lens with a black mist filter on the Canon R5, the stills are using the same camera with n...

Blank Canvas

A new gallery and Some previews to today's shoot. As always I'll update this gallery with much more in the coming days.

Friday in a Few Photos

She got the gym in early then we both worked for a client doing some Boudoir photos, then I started editing some of the videos projects I have due for clients.

But we’ve managed...

Bedroom

One lazy afternoon led to a photo session... an authentic moment together. I've posted some of this gallery before and there is still more to showcase... The last photo looks painful but it wasn't....

Fusion (Part 2)

I asked her to make a behind the scenes video to the last shoot we did... it wasn't bad. The intro was a little long and she stole my video but that's okay, I give her a C + lol.

Workouts and a new Edit

Today was a busy day with clients but I managed to get her a few more edits and she sent me some work out selfies.

Fusion Video

We got several cool clips from this look and lighting set up. Steph got behind the camera herself. I am always glad when she does.

Fusion

Today's shoot was a lot of fun. I'm not sure what to call this one. I came up with the lighting concept at the last moment. Any thoughts?

Here's a few previews. Much more coming from this sho...

Hit the Showers

Shower Time after a run. She did 6.2 miles I did 5.15. She looked better in the shower though.
