Arabella is a model/photographer in Britain. I met her through a mutual friend (Elle) who worked with her on several occasions. Arabella and I started working regularly together with her as the model. She had an idea for a remote shoot setting up the studio as an artists studio with her acting as the artist and the model. We scheduled it and...

Merrique and I shot our typical monthly shoot early in November. I say typical, but nothing about this lovely woman is typical. She and I are fast friends. This shoot was concentrated around nudes, nothing else. We tried a little Hollywood glamour lighting using Merrique's Snoot (I love saying that word) at the end of the shoot and I process...

My friend Zoi Morgan hosted a remote shoot with this lovely woman and asked if I wanted to work with her. I agreed and spent an hour shooting with Leontine in Zoi's studio in the Netherlands. Leo is also from the Netherlands and very beautiful as you can see. We shot a few different setups in Zoi's studio and created some nice photos. I spen...

Taylor messaged me and asked if I would be interested in booking her. I think she found my name on Model Mayhem or another social media site. She was visiting from the east coast and looking for a place to relocate to in the west. I think she finally settled on Arizona. She confided during the shoot that she had fallen in love with the area ...

My friend Dakota (pictured on the left) and I shot several years ago out at Redstone, and she was so impressed that she started doing an annual phototrip with 6 photographers and another model. She often asked me to join and guide the trip. In 2023 Dakota and Dane Halo were the models for the excursion and I joined up and accompanied them and ...

Starting into the 4th quarter of the year. Paige contacted me and asked if I would be interested in shooting with her. At the time, she was a local Las Vegas model but had done quite a bit of traveling and was relocating to Utah. I met her and her boyfriend (at the time) at Redstone and we shot for a couple of hours. Interestingly, Rachelle ...

Naya and I worked together quite a lot in 2023 and in 2024. She lives in Moscow and we met through social media. Her husband assists with the remote aspects of the shoot and as an interpreter, although Naya does speak quite a bit of English. I trip her up every once in a while with my American slang words. I always request she wear at least ...

As you all know by now, Merrique and I shoot once a month either in person or remotely (mostly remote these days since she's moved to the other side of the world). This shoot we intended to get some intimate portraits and bodyscapes with Merrique getting real small in her home space. The camera was set up maybe 4 feet from her so she was confi...

This was Riona's last photoshoot before her retirement from modeling. She and I had worked together a couple of times and she specifically requested that we shoot together one last time. I agreed and told her that if she ever decided to unretire, she knew where to find me. She hasn't unretired and gave birth to a healthy baby boy who now is a...

Rachelle and I first met through a remote shoot. She lives in England. We shot a couple of times remotely and I found out she was leading a photo tour based out of Las Vegas. She and her husband do a trip about every other year in the southwest US. One of the places they go and spend a few days is Death Valley. As fate would have it a west ...

Merrique and I do a lot of experimenting during our monthly remote shoots, most of it works. She had an attachment to her lens which blurred half of it, kind of like looking through a prism. Depending on the amount you twisted it, it would blur out more of the photo. We tried it during this remote shoot and it worked pretty well. I guess it ...

Helen and I met online and started remote shooting back in the Covid days. She was one of the first models I worked with remotely. I have to admit, she is difficult to work with, but we've tried a few things over the years and most of them don't work out. She has a penchant for standing nude against the wall or doing something in front of a v...

Just a little bonus post for my supporters this past year. I've selected one photo from each month for your enjoyment.
First up is Sara. We shot together in January remotely. She is coming to America next year and I hope to schedule an in-person shoot with her.
Next up is my friend Kristi. She and her partner spent the winter at ...

My friend Brennan was in Salt Lake while I was shooting with the 4 previous models, so before leaving the city, we made a date to shoot out on Stansbury Island in the Great Salt Lake. There's a salt mining operation at the end of Stansbury Island just out of frame of some of the photos. The mine is located where the last two photos were taken ...

My last day of shooting with these 4 gorgeous models, Hannah, Jenn, Femina, and Auroraa, on this trip. I'm sure there will be more to come at a later date. In fact, Jenn and I have set up a shoot this year and Auroraa and I have already completed shoots this past year. We spent this last day fighting mosquitos and living in the water. It was...

Our second day working with these lovely models. We started out at Antelope Island (for those of you familiar with the area around the Great Salt Lake) and finished the day in the sand dunes south of Salt Lake City. A thunderstorm had just rolled through the sand dunes and there was still a bit of lightening in the area. At one point everyone...

Auroraa (formerly Dasha) and I go way back together. I was one of her first shoots after she had started modeling in 2016. She had taken ill and had gotten pregnant with twins right before this shoot, and this was one of her first shoots after having given birth to twin baby girls. They had come early, which is not all that unusual for twins ...

I finished out June with a remote shoot with a model in Moscow (yes that Moscow) Diana. The only issue with working from the western US to Moscow is the time difference, 10 or 11 hours depending on where you're at. So to shoot with Diana at 10 am Moscow time, you start at midnight or 1 am your time. As you can see, Diana is worth staying up l...

We were supposed to go to 2 locations this last day of ExplOregon, but the mosquitos were so thick we decided to spend the entire morning at the lava flow instead of going to a barn located on the edge of a shallow lake (where we figured the mosquitos would be even fiercer). It was a good call. The mosquitos were bad even at this location and t...

We shot in and around the hot springs and then ventured out to the lakebed in the ...
