Photo May: May 13 – Jessi in the Water

Going way back to 2009 for today’s image. This comes from early in the year when I first started trying some new experiments in concepts. It’s also the first time I did a shoot specifically targeting outdoor nudes. I’d actually forgotten about this shoot until I started reviewing for this month’s series. Jessi was inexperienced, but good to work with. This was our only shoot together.

Outside with Ivy Lee

A more traditional post today looking at a recent shoot with Ivy Lee. My first sign is spring I think comes with my first planned shoot outdoors that works out. Here Ivy and I did some nice work in early April along the mountains. Warm enough for nude work to come out well and the sun up late enough to have time to get some good work done.

You can see more from the shoot on the Members Site.

There’s a wonderful waterfall at this location, but we didn’t quite have enough time to make our way there for some photos. It was also still a bit too chilly for her to get into the water that early in the year. We did get the chance to take advantage of the early spring greenery and water from the early rains and the numerous rocks and cascades around the area. This is one of my favorite locations to work in and I’m not sure I’ll ever get tired of it.

Photo May: May 9 – Keira Grant Study Between Rocks

My outdoor locations of choice usually contain either a stream, a waterfall, or rock formations of some sort. My favorite usually have all three. It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to work with Keira Grant, and this image goes back to one of our early shoots in 2011. If I recall correctly I stood on a rock ledge probably a yard above the ground taking this photo and Keira is several more feet above me here.

Photo May: May 8 – Hannah Perez as Frankenmodel

An interesting little idea from a few years ago working with Hannah Perez. Idea was to shoot a few close ups of parts of her body, and then print those parts at real size. I then taped them to her over the part in question. The results were interesting as you can see below.

Hannah PerezIt’s an idea I liked, but not really felt the need to follow up. Still, I do have an interesting variation on it that’s come to mind of late and there might be a variation of it coming sometime in the future.
