Boudoir: Corset & Lace ft. Rachelred vol.2

Continuing my boudoir corset series with Rachelred

Boudoir: Corset & Lace ft. Rachelred vol.1

Exploring the corset as art. It is still one of my all-time favorite pieces of lingerie for boudoir photography.

The Red Dress ft. Rachelred

I had the opportunity to work with Rachelred again recently. Her energy is so amazing when she gets in the studio, she is able to connect with the camera in a way that makes you feel like she's looking in to you personally. Its an amazing talent and the resulting images tell a beautiful story.

Halloween Is Coming ft. Kahlan - TBT

Halloween is my favorite time of year, and as July comes to a close, it becomes a countdown for me. Here we have a series from a past session with Kahlan playing with one of my many skulls. I have so much fun playing in the studio with talented models and capturing how expressive they are in different scenarios. The images within contain nudity and are Not Safe For Work.

Boudoir: Corset and Lace ft. Kat

The corset is such a sexy wardrobe piece. It covers more than most lingerie, while it seems to show something forbidden. The laces down the back have a beautiful symmetry and in the right lighting becomes a piece of art in itself.

Armed: Un-Concealed Carry - TBT

Tattoos, Guns, and Attitude. I've worked with Roxie several times and I haven't had the chance to share all her photos. So here I have an addition to my Throw Back Thursday posts. All the guns belong to her, are unloaded, and safe to pose with in the studio. No ammunition was even brought into the building to ensure safety for both of us. The series was a lot of fun to shoot and includes a lot of her favorite firearms and masks. The images below contain nudity and are NSFW

Curtain Call ft. Kat

Studio photography has the potential to get repetitive and stale. How do you avoid that? You have to find a way to reinvent and renew your small space. Props are a great way to add a little variety to each pose and it gives the model something to interact with as well. In this instance, my prop of choice wa a set of sheer, white curtains I have hung in my studio. I didn't have to give much direction here. My main instruction was to wrap yourself in the fabric and play a sexy peek-a-boo game with the camera. Its one of those series where you want to keep looking to see if there's more to see.

Day of the Dead - Life & Death

Welcome to the next installment of my mask series. In this instance, I layered a second mask designed to look like an aged skull and affixed it with strong magnets to eliminate additional straps or attachments. I wanted to have a juxtaposition of beauty & horror with a life & death mask. I painted the skull piece to completion before beginning the beauty design in blue. By doing this, I was able to align the nose and teeth more accurately between the two layers. Having two complete and separate masks, I can easily use them together or separately and still maintain a complete look. The beauty mask stands on its own and doesn't need to make use of the skull appliance. My technique for applying the magnets to the skull piece also allows it to be used independently if my model chose to adhere magnets to her skin using a makeup glue. This has not yet been a chosen method but perhaps in the future, I will find a model willing to experiment with that look.

No Evil

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

I love this series. There are so many ways to interpret each pose. The images I composited all seemed a good match with each other, but I will also include some outtakes below. A huge thank you goes out to Kat for bringing her own spin on this set.

Day of the Dead - Blood Lust

This is the next installment in my mask-making series. I have been creating masks as a hobby to build on my creative impulses. This is a continuation of my first tear-away Day of the Dead mask with this one being much more graphic with drips and blood stains across the entire face of the mask. All the blood details between the masks are hand-sculpted and are 3-D with hand-painted detail in varying shades of red to simulate blood and muscle beneath the surface. The smaller mask attaches with magnets embedded within the sculpture so no strings or fasteners are visible. The eye sockets are filled with black and red lace in order to separate the model's eyes from the mask. Black silk roses are splattered with red paint to mimic blood splatter and matches the other details on the masks. The juxtaposition of the horror of the mask and the beauty of the model is my new favorite technique.
