Happy (observed) Halloween!

You know tonight is the night to party! Get out there and be spooky or creepy or sexy or wild, or just enjoy the crazies! 

Which design do you like, and can you find all the models? 

Black Wings for Halloween

I painted these Black Wings as a backdrop for photoshoots. This week it's all Halloween-themed and spooky scary. However, I made the painting somewhat ambiguous- are they wings, is it hair, or is it simply a crazy pattern for your mind to joust with? 

Tell me what you think- 

Are you ready?

I'm working on a big poster. It will feature 12 models...

Julie

I love working with creative models. Julie came in and grabbed my foraminifera scarf. "Can I pose with this- just this?" Absolutely. I love when a piece that I designed is incorporated into new works. What followed (this week's photos) was a stunning series of images that are sensual, passionate, and creative.

First Time

I've been moving a few items to Bentbox (at twice the price that patrons pay, of course), and one collection was from my first time with Kalopsia. It was early days, and a lot of Photoshopping had to be done.

As I worked on getting it ready to move, I realized there were some gems that maybe you all haven't seen.

Upcoming Model (bonus preview)

I work hard on my weekly posts, and sometimes it takes a while for inspiration to arrive. Often, it's a simple theme. This week's inspiration- the tee shirt! 

I hope you enjoy the upcoming set, featuring Luci! 

:)

"First Glance" again, by Request

When a model is requested, I go into the archives and see what's there. The adventure into the past often takes on a new life. 

I got a request for Kyla, and when I went to pull images from the archives, I was stunned by the beauty of the shots from 2 years ago. 

Enjoy this week, revisiting a gem from Ne...

What do you look for in Beauty?

There's an aesthetic that I visit occasionally of the European style of chaotic beauty, where everything is tossled, in the midst of ancient architecture. 

This week is a bit about that aesthetic. 

3909 is the Number, and the number is:

3909. I had to go to the image archives to retrieve a photo of Maizy in the grass, and I wasn't sure where it was, but I knew the number. So I punched in a search "3909" and found it, and...

There were several images with the same number, and some were from models that don't appear in the feed that often. I thought it w...

California Poppies

A little roadtrip can bring you to very unexpected places. Less than 2 hours from my studio, there lies a beautiful vista, full of wildflowers, and-- what's this? It's a Long-haired Oregon Floofie, migrating to warmer climes! 

The Best of those on Hiatus

Some models retire, some go on hiatus for a while and then return. 

This week is a collection of models on hiatus. As the old song goes, "We may never pass this way again!" 

Alia from 2018

Model Mayhem sometimes produces a collaboration that lasts for years. If you look in my archives here, you'll see I've worked with Alia for almost 5 years now. It's been a consistent once-or-twice-a-year thing. 

I really appreciate her- the next time we meet, I think I'll bring presents! 

And Meet Interesting People

This is Jessica. She's a very cool model from Arizona, who's just moved to L.A. She has a very natural fun look that is sure to bring a smile Wherever she goes.

Here on this page, you'll get to meet her and many others. Enjoy!  

Step Outside

Is the rain over yet? I'm not sure, so I'll bring my umbrella, even on a sunny day...it's a nature week! 

Sending to the Archives

Thank you, oh, my followers! With your help, I've been allowed to create tons of cool sensual art photography for a few years now. It's been amazing- even going to the mountains, forests and deserts with your support!

I am about to archive all of the old image sets and videos from 2022 and older. They'll soon be gone.&n...

Crystal

How do you perceive natural beauty? This week we shall explore the concept with the model Crystal Wings. 

Pretzelle

Here in 48 Goddesses, we have all varieties of goddess. I mean, at least 48 different personalities are represented. 

Come enjoy a daily happy slice of beauty! 

Two Models

A dream of any photographer is to have multiple models to work with. For February, I had some cancellations, and plans fell through, and I was down. 

Then, I got calls from two different models- great! But on the same day???

My thoughts raced- should I try to book them back to back? What can I do? Then, it st...

Monthly Schedule of Posts

Hi gang. Thank you again for supporting me and my art. Over the few years I've been doing this, I've gotten into a certain schedule, and I thought it might be good for you to know. That way you can enjoy the goddesses better, knowing what's up: 

Mondays: Demure- often it's the teaser day, and somet...

Fiery Red

This is one of my favorite shots of Heidi Rom. I won an award with it!  

Although it looks like there's the sun behind her, it was really achieved in the studio.

Would you like to see more from this shoot?

Subscribe and enjoy the vast collection!

Mardi Gras

I got more beads from my Mom. I'm not sure she'd approve of where they went...

Well, what else do you do with Mardi Gras beads than share, right? 

Beauty for the Month of February

Beautiful, beautiful February. Celebrate it. 

Retro Hairstyles

Cacia Zoo took the mohawk tradition of retro punks by shaving the sides of her head. Of course with such dense locks, one would scarcely recognize it, unless she wanted one to see. That is her power as an artist to shock and amaze when she sees fit. 

To work with artists and models is truly a dream and a gift. ...

Archives

The next few weeks will be images from the archives. 

Enjoy!

In-Between

What do you do in between Christmas and New Year's? Kat Malone wants to know! 

Have a Happy Christmas!

I hope you were good, so Santa visits you...

Models of the Year 2022

This year was full of new models, regular favorites, models that drastically changed their looks, and models coming from far away. This week's selection is a review of what we did, where we shot, props we played with- fun times indeed! 

Enjoy! 

Americans, did you vote?

As you may know, I love women. Women are counting on us to protect their rights, here in the USA. 

Let's not slide backwards- can you imagine what "48 Goddesses" would be like if the laws fell back to the rigid stilted traditions of 1842? 

I love you all! Vote for Love, and choices!
