Throwbacks, a small milestone...

Throwbacks, a small milestone...

I remember in testing with these, that I "discovered" an approach to softer, hazy looks in studio (both in lighting and in post work). I remember being super stoked for these results!

But, it was also when I was almost entirely focused on the tech and production aspect, and not so much mood and emotion. Not that Joanna did badly, but,...

Some throwbacks...

Some throwbacks...

Some sets you barely remember, except for one detail. In this case, my friend who owned the house I was shooting in that day casually threatened, "I am gonna put out the red satin sheets for your shoot" knowing full well I had no interest in that. As a joke, I said ok do it anyway!

And this was the result. I don't love it, but it was ...

I almost want to tell the story about this shoot, but, it's just interesting what different people's motivations are for doing a glam shoot. I'll leave it at that!

Quick reminder...!

Hey friends! So for everyone who maybe isn't familiar with how Patreon works, I just want to clarify a couple of things. I received a message asking if I ever post any content for those who have not joined yet, and the answer is that yes, of course I do.

Naturally, I do this as a sort of an incentive for ...

New work out-of-doors with Alexis yesterday. A quick preview as I am headed in to the studio in a bit and will be out most of the day today. These edits (and many more from other sets) are coming soon.

Plus new videos that Alexis and I captured yesterday as well.

Cut shots from my art book...

Sharing some shots that I did from a set over a year ago that eventually some ended up in my art book that I just released. Yeah, some of these were great, but I had to pick my absolute favorites, so these are mostly ones that got cut, but some that are included in the book too.

You can grab my coffee-table-worthy art book...

Throwbacks from 2012...

I think this was the first time I shot a couple? Maybe. Not sure. But it was still an exploration for me, and I def did not know what I was doing with lighting and composition for it. Nonetheless, it was a learning experience.

Some classic swimwear looks in the pool with a bright, green bikini no less! Sometimes people ask me if I ever shoot bold color, and I tell him that when I do, it's usually very very bold!

Throwbacks...backlit...

Throwbacks...backlit...

I was really exploring a lot of back-lighting at the time and also enhancing it in post production. But I think I overdid it and it was too heavy handed. On top of that this is the era where all my black-and-white images had a little bit of color toning to them (in this case, blue). Not sure why I like doing that back then, but I got away from d...

Briana "red light" industrial video (18+) is up...

One last video from the project with Briana. This one I wrote an industrial metal type of backing track for and experimented with lighting in ways I'd never tried. We wanted this one to be daring, different and drastic – I think the result ended up kind of amazing.

Collections?

Collections?

So quick question, do you guys feel like I should start organizing my posts into Collections? Patreon offers that function, and at first with only a few dozen posts it wasn't a big deal, but I am now fully moved into Patreon, as it were, and I know I'm going to have hundreds if not over a thousand posts here in the next few months.

Throwbacks to 2012...

These shots of CJ from 13 years ago were some of my earliest attempts at working in the art nude genre, and clearly I didn't entirely know what my vision was. I definitely approached everything like commercial glamour of the day, and to some extent there were some decent ideas here, I felt.

However, the execution was a little bit lacking,...

Happy to say that I will be working with Alexis again later this week, as she is coming here to Houston for my Art Nudes Workshop. Her and I will also be doing some new work, and a video project or two, which I am super stoked for. Alexis moves SO well and has become a fast friend since we me...

Briana, poolside (18+)

The sun came out, and then it went away, and then came out again, and kept doing that for an hour as we captured some clips poolside. Was a gorgeous and hot southeast Texas day, and Bri was definitely enjoying cooling off in the water.

Throwbacks with Hannah....

In April of 2024 I planned a big project centered around channeling a 1970s vibe, especially one that evoked a little bit of the modeling from the era. Hannah was up to the challenge, and I put together a huge shoot team and came up with a lot of great images – a true passion project!

UPDATE!

Another quick update about upcoming things. I'm actually, for the first time in years, classically behind on catching up with edits of different sets. Nothing is catastrophically wrong, it's just that there's been some family things that have taken a lot of my time, plus planning a big tour, which is endless phone calls and comm...

Happy to have finished this one today, and had a lot of fun with the lighting as well (more on that in upcoming videos too). I also enjoyed the thrash metal inspired soundtrack, which was fun to come up with and record – it'd been a couple months since I've touched the guitars!

Another quick question...

I try to just share what I do on my Patreon, whether it's a throwback or a throwback set or a new shot or a set of new shots. That said, I also just do whatever it is I do, that is, I finish the projects as I see fit, and call it a day.

But, would expanded sets for purchase (like my videos, affordab...

So starting in Houston on June 21 (next week!) and then taking the show on the road, as it were, I am back to hosting all new Art Nudes Workshops after 10 years of, well, of NOT. There were several reasons why I stopped doing these classes a decade ago, though I always love to shoot the art nud...

Did I post all of these before?  Throwbacks to Hollywood...

To be honest, I may have, but not totally sure. And it has been a shit week for me, due to Meta killing my Facebook profile (that I have had for 18 fucking years) and that is a huge hit to my networking and marketing – plus some personal medical matters in the family. So, do forgive me if these shots of Lynnie in West Hollywood are a double po...
