Miss Kacie Marie in Griffith Park, Pt.1

Miss Kacie Marie in Griffith Park, Pt.1

If you've followed my work for any length of time, you probably know who Kacie is. Singer, dancer, actress, and model, Kacie is the definition of "doing it all." These uncensored images were shot in Los Angeles several years ago when she was on yet another tour.

May's Special Gift for the $25 Level

May's Special Gift for the $25 Level

Since it was so successful this last month, I'm going to continue to give a monthly special "thank you" to everyone at the $25 level for those who don't cancel or change their subscription level at the last minute.

This time the incentive will be the password to a folder of behind-the-scenes images I took at a wild nudist birthday party several years ago. It was a fun free-for-all of skin, g...

Ky-Ay-Lee, Pt. 6

Photographically, we didn't do all that much, but I felt as though we created a good foundation for hopefully a good working relationship in the future. She was sweet, took direction well, and literally trusted me implicitly even though we had never met. I wondered what I had done to deserve such a chill, open-minded person, but again, after the week I just had, maybe I had earned it.

Unlike most 18 year olds, Kialey doesn't drink, smoke weed, or have any other vices. "I like to have fun and hang out, but I don't really have anything that drives me. I want to be creative, but have no natural talents. I'm looking for something, though!"

Even though she has a few tattoos sporadically placed around her body, Kialey had the perfect form for this idea. I'm working on a book of soft, White-On-White shapes and forms, and I could not have asked for a better model. Thank goodness for Instagram. She had found my images online and randomly messaged me. I suppose it was kismet.

Ky-Ay-Lee, Pt. 3

Sick of standard test shoots, I decided to play with long exposures, odd, colored lighting, and extreme depth-of-field in order to test what was possible with a boring, static wall in my otherwise boring house. And thankfully, she was open to it all.

Ky-Ay-Lee, Pt. 2

"I'm not flexible, I'm wiggly!" she said confidently, meaning to sound awkward. I had asked if she could dance or jump or move like a dancer in any way. Her thin, long, elegant frame was ideal for what I'd been looking for. To find a small town, local woman interested in posing nude, let alone looking forward to posting the images to her own Tumblr account, was remarkably refreshing. I've spent th...

Tonight I had a great test shoot with Kialey, pronounced the way I wrote the title. She is smart, self-assured, and had some great quotes over the course of our evening.

Faceless Nude #244

Faceless Nude #244

Several years ago I was at a bar with a female friend who was joking that I need to find a girlfriend, or at least get laid more, as most of my women friends tell me. Almost immediately upon voicing this statement, my companion spotted a friend walking in, a tall, thin wisp of a woman who struck my fancy instantly, I'll call her Elaine.

Elaine was the kind of woman I'm a sucker for, or as my...

Kat David goes for a swim...

Late last year Kat David and I took some photos at her apartment's community pool area. Though we received many curious views from her neighbors, I'd say the experience was overall very pleasant. Here she is being her beautiful, dorky self yet again...enjoy!

Kalani in Technicolor, Pt. 7

Kalani in Technicolor, Pt. 7

Figuring that we couldn't do much more, we called it quits only a few minutes later. The whole experience couldn't have been more than 20 minutes overall, but that was just enough to feel like we accomplished far more that afternoon than just sitting around drinking and bitching about the world. I love this lady, I wish there was more I could do to ease her struggles.

Kalani in Technicolor, Pt. 6

I finally reached a water-to-glow stick ratio that I felt satisfied with and continued to click away, asking her to lower her face in the water more. One of the things I love about Kalani is how elegant, graceful, and emotive she can be without even trying. She has lived a hard, complicated life, and sadly continues to do so. But that makes capturing a look on her face that conveys deep, complicat...

Eventually I was chucking in four and five sticks at a time, cracking them to create the chemical reaction then tossing the glowing plastic in with her. She just casually laid there, laughing at me and the spectacle.

"You always get me to do shit that I would never do with anyone else. And I can never anticipate what it will be from one time to the next," she chuckled with her sly, devious g...

We added a bit of milk to the mix, making the water not be so transparent. But soon the water was so dense that the glow sticks weren't very visible at all, killing the effect. Even though I had bought dozens of them, I was hoping I'd be able to save some for a second attempt a few days later, not thinking I'd need to use all of them to generate enough light to make the desired effect possible.

Easily bored by the whole "natural light by the window" thing, I asked her if she'd be willing to try something new, using glow sticks to illuminate water in a bathtub. Seeing as how she'd just have to lay there and not do much, it sounded fine by her, and we started as soon as the tub was full only minutes later.

At first Kalani just came over to hang out, have a few drinks and a smoke, and generally just get away from life. Invariably she gets naked and I take photos during these encounters, and honestly, isn't that the best kind of friends to have?

In case you haven't seen her on the many other posts I've made with her, Kalani and I have been friends since she was 18. Now in her late 20s, she still...

We can go months, sometimes years, without talking, but inevitably Kalani and I meet up some afternoon or evening, share a drink, and create photographic experiments that are always interesting and sometimes extraordinary.

I just discovered this lost shoot of my buddy Kalani in a bath tub illuminated by glow sticks from a few years ago. I can't believe I've never posted most of these! View Post

Frustration

Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a lot of disreputable people pledging at the $25 level, seeing all that is available there, then downgrading their pledge or canceling outright at the last minute so they don't have to pay at the end of the month. I'm not sure what I can do other than block them, but I don't want to block anyone. Why can't people just be trusted on the honor system? It reall...

Rant Against Bullying Models

Rant Against Bullying Models

I realize that the kind of images I create might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Living in a fairly conservative town, I’m more than aware that taking photos of scantily clad women might not be the best career choice to have made if I wanted to be treated with a certain level of dignity and respect by some of the more uptight members of the community. And that’s fine, I’ve grown to accept th...

All of these images are from 2013, and these specific images have never been shared since we took them. I am spending the next week digging through the archives to find more of my adventures with Tiffany. Stay tuned.

Tiffany's long, thin frame makes her an ideal choice for bending, abstract images. From our very first shoot together, I knew she would achieve great things when pursuing a career in alternative modeling.

I recently found these hood images of Tiffany Helms. I had enlisted the aid of a make-up artist to help paint shapes on her body in abstract ways, and though most of the images eventually seemed a bit repetitive and boring in my opinion since I lacked a full idea for the shoot, I think they are worth sharing.

Old Friends, 2010 - Pt. 6

As we continued to explore, we talked and laughed and gave each other whatever was desired. Afternoon faded slowly to evening, but neither of us noticed or cared. There have been far too infrequent moments of that level of intimacy in my life in recent years, mostly due to my own isolation than anything else. I hadn’t looked at these images since they were uploaded onto a hard drive upon my retu...

Old Friends, 2010 - Pt. 5

I've always been a fan of every aspect of the female form, finding beauty in all its subtleties. Part of me wanted to watch and document this moment for along time, but another part wanted to do everything but watch. I held out for what seemed like an eternity, clicking away until I couldn’t resist being involved any longer.

As I laid her down on the bed, she asked me to just watch her from afar, and I clicked away as she moistened her fingers and began to explore her flesh, saying I was only allowed to watch (and possibly take some photos), at least for the time being.

This teasing, touching couch-play went back and forth for quite a while, and I’d continue to click away with my camera when there was enough blood forced back into my brain and hands. There was and still is a part of me that wished I could have stayed there in that moment for a long time, but we both knew this was a fun and frivolous experience, so we ignored the more serious thoughts in our min...

Sara always had a subtle, thoughtful depression about her, and knowing the tragedies she had experienced in her younger years, I could easily understand the complexities of her mind. Still, I respected the way she never allowed those terrible experiences to restrict her from following her goals.

In accordance to my vow to be more honest about myself online this year, I’ve decided to post more intimate images and tell stories of experiences I have documented over the years. I’ve desperately shied away from letting anything about my personal life be shared online, but I figure in this closed-off, subscriber-only forum it should be fine.

With the death of Prince this week, I re...
