How anyone can one pass up an opportunity to take a naked picture in an outdoor shower is beyond us.
(BTW, we are headed up to a cabin in north eastern Arizona this morning--will be on and off the grid, but we will be in 70 degree temps vs 110.....)

If you've been following along on our Instagram Stories and in our Patreon feed a bit, you'll know that we have gained accessed to a gorgeous backyard of a clothing optional Air BnB. A client asked us to shoot her there. We were introduced to the wonderfully kind owners. And, they invited us to book more shoots. 2020-08-06 16:59:02 +0000 UTC View Post

As far as The Naked Desert goes the Petrified Forest & Painted Desert National Park is pretty much where we gather our life energy from. We love this place. We love shooting here. And, I think the results speak for themselves.
Although, Death Valley, White Sands, and the Bisti Badlands are on the l...

Just a quick, small set from Monday's shoot at a clothing optional Air Bnb. It was a beautiful house with a gorgeous back yard. We found out about it while doing client work, met the owners, and now for a small fee have photographer's access. It is a perfect option for when trekking an hour out into the dese...

Oh, I can't wait to start editing these files!

Sometimes it's best to let curiosity get the better of you. On one of our hikes we notice some interesting hoodoos a little ways off trail. And, lucky us, we discovered a spot that we will affectionately refer to as Aphrodite's Temple. We shall return!

Hades (Instagram: @lookits.hades) was one of the first models to shoot for us, almost exactly a year ago! It was a great shoot, and we created a ton of great content, and we are forever grateful! She has really blown up this past year, working hard, and getting her name out. Yesterday, in fact, she shot for ...

Hopefully you are all finding a way to stay safe and sane during these times. Arizona has shut down its bars, gyms, and delayed the start of school by 2 weeks.
We don't have an Independence Day themed image to post. (Actually, we never really do themed posts.) In fact we just returned from Tahoma, CA, locate...

About 2hrs from and 7000' ft higher than Phoenix is the gorgeous Mogollon Rim--a place more closely related to Colorado than the Grand Canyon. This special place provides a respite from the summer heat--one of the best kept secrets of our state.
So while the compositions we had planned at the Petrified Forest Nat...

One of the reasons we love Arizona so much is the diversity in environments and landscapes. And, while we definitely prefer the stark and desolate beauty of the desert, we can easily switch to something green and lush--a place that looks more akin to the Pacific Northwest versus the Sonoran Desert. Case in point: this l...

Christy (IG: @spilled_milk___) will always have a special place in our hearts.
She was one of the very first models to shoot for us just as we were starting out as The Naked Desert Photography team. (It was nearly a year ago, July 2019.) We are so very grateful as she was our entree to the local photography...

Kelsea (IG: kfrav) drove to Prescott, AZ, with another "nude-in-nature" photographer, James Ellingen (IG: @jamesellingen) back in March. They planned to do a multi -month roadtrip/photography tour initially, but then the corona virus came. Instead they decided to stay in Prescott. Around April some mutual acquaint...

Y'know we do take requests. Had a couple Patron ask if we could post more of Rebekah. We are digging into the archives since we only shot with her once. But, we do like and promote this kind of interaction. So, do let us know if there's a model or a set you'd like to see more of.
We are actually thinki...

Its been 110 degrees or hotter here over the last three days--making desert photoshoots somewhat dangerous. But, well, we found a cool cave with great light and protection from the sun. And, well, we started going out a 1am to try to take pictures with the Milky Way.
We hope you enjoy the effort :)

Well, we are open to shooting clients and models now. It's exciting to get out again, but also frustrating dealing with inevitable flakiness. We had a model booked for Sunday, but then "something came up" a few hours before. <shrug>

It's getting hot here in Arizona--about a week straight of 100+ degree temperatures. Luckily for us we know some spots to cool off while also maintaining social distance. In fact we are farther away from much less people here than we are in our own neighborhood.

The Little Painted Desert is an abandoned county park near Winslow, AZ. (Yep, that Winslow of RT66 and The Eagles fame ;).

Been taking a free MOMA online course on the philosophy of photography during this pandemic lock down. And, seemingly the "art" of photography has a lot to do with intent.
