I started to get interested in doing some dance related work after reading Jordan Matter's Dancers After Dark book. This was one of my dance-themed shoots. I was lucky enough to catch Poppyseed Dancer during one of the few times she was back home in the DC area. She's constantly touring around the w...

Layla Tso brought this student uniform with her along with a couple pairs of glasses to go with it. Naturally, we had to bring it into the shoot!

Gurularoo took the cold in stride during this shoot. The temperatures were around the low to mid 30s, but you wouldn't know it looking at her.

I chose the location for this Naked and Afraid--themed shoot because it was on the riverfront. What I did not account for, though, was the level of silt that made up the river floor. The silt was very thick and culminated in deep mud so anyone who stepped into the water would sink up to their knees and get s...

Here are more from my set with Anna Jialing. She had just moved to New York City shortly before but traveled back to the area so we could work together.

There's something cool about a T-shirt with angels carrying assault rifles. :-) Kalopsia did not keep the t-shirt on for very long!

By request, here are more photos of my friend enjoying the sunshine and the warm temperatures. She requests to remain anonymous but does not mind me posting photos of her as long as I don't include her face.

I love lace dresses and the one that Vox Serene brought with her was killer. This also was the dress that she wore when a police officer came by and asked what we were doing. At least she could honestly say she was dressed!

Here is more from my set with Denisa Strakova. Unfortunately, she has not returned to the US since this shoot, but she continues to be very active throughout Europe.

Here is another shoot I did in my Naked and Afraid series, this time with Marzipanned. We tried to get away from trails and shoot away from areas frequently visited, but even here we had a couple that walked by. Fortunately, we had already wrapped up shooting and were in the process of putting my equipment away, b...

This was my first shoot using the TV show, Naked and Afraid, as a theme. I didn't want this to look polished and was going for a more raw, unfinished look.

I thought I had posted this already and went on to do other things, only to find that these were photos were still in my to be published folder waiting for me. Ariel Taylor and I were hiking around the Harper's Ferry area and came across this rock formation. It didn't take us long to get set up and shooting!

Willa Prescott and I had a lot of fun exploring this location. It was a bit chilly so she constantly was looking for some sun to sit in. Every time she found someplace to sun herself, I placed a 1-stop diffuser over her so we could shoot. She definitely looked forward to our breaks so she could put on her pa...

This was among the most beautiful hotel rooms I've ever had. It had this huge picture window in the bathroom overlooking the ocean, which we tried to take advantage of as the sun went down. Since every room in the hotel had the same picture window, I wondered as we shot how many noticed the flashing light and the ...

I just met RavishRaven recently and we hit it off right away. We both originally are from the west and we have very similar backgrounds. More to come soon.

We had a fence to play with so Collibrina started working it. The fence never looked so good!

I was very happy to get to meet Denisa during her visit to the US and Canada. I believe this was her first trip to both countries. During our shoot, Denisa provided several tips about travel to Czechia and where to shoot.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and that food was plentiful! I returned back last night and was happy to have flown with Alaska Air, arguably the best US carrier. Here are a few shots from my set with Vox Serene. This shoot marked the only time I had an issue with the police during a shoot. For...

Willa Prescott hid it well, but it was cold that morning and I kept her in the shade most of the shoot. I will be pretty busy tomorrow so I don't anticipate posting. I'll be back posting on Friday, though. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

How do you react when a woman introduces herself as Wonderhussy? Take your camera out and celebrate! I met her during a trip to Las Vegas and found her captivating. I noticed that recently she started making YouTube videos of herself hiking nude through the wilderness and bathing in various ponds and lakes a...

Bella Burke improves the couch. I used a single light and a shoot-through umbrella. I shot these underexposed to keep them moody and made adjustments in post.

This is an place that I stumbled upon while looking for an alternate location after a police officer recommended I no longer use my go-to location because the county owns that property. I was very happy with the light this day and the vivid colors it brought. I won't tag the model here. She is a friend who i...

Despite the number of times I traveled to the Toronto area, I was not able to meet up with Kalopsia. I was pleasantly surprised, though, when she told me she was coming to the DC area. Naturally, we had to shoot together!

It was great working with Kim Louise as she is very dynamic and versatile. It also helps that she's a rocker at heart and introduced me to some metal that I had not heard before. I used a single light in a shoot-through umbrella as fill and to help separate her from the background.

This was a very fun shoot. Araina is full of energy, is great in front of the camera, and is willing to do whatever whacky thing that comes to mind.

Gurularoo and I came across this fallen tree as we were hiking through the park. There was no one around so we went to work. I loved that she wore jungle boots to the shoot so I insisted she keep them on. I'm not sure it made much of a difference, but I used one light as fill.

Denisa brought a very large wardrobe with her from Czechia so we looked to do some mixing and matching.

Sorry for the radio silence the last few days. I've been having to work late and I had a shoot I had to process for a client. The few hours I had at home before going to bed were spent processing the photos. I was able to send them back to the client tonight so am able to get some shots out here.
