The Fine Art of Photography ......... |
Recommended Sites Previous Entries 7-03-08 Here is the remainder of Adriana's first photo session - a series of candid shots showing her shaving on set in front of a vanity mirror. I liked the combination of innocence, sexiness and matter-of-fact pragmatism in this series. Rather than thinking about how she was going to look on camera, she really got totally involved in the task of shaving - giving us, the viewers, that tantalizing feeling of observing an intimate act. (More shots, including much more explicit close-ups, are now showing on LSG) 7-02-08 President Bush's "porn surge" is in the news again - this was just posted on Yahoo news: 6-26-08 Adriana is a Greek college student, modeling to make some extra money. She wasn't quite sure whether to shave her pubic hair, or let it grow in more for our session (which I'd requested); consequently, she arrived in an in-between state, with sort of a 5-o'clock shadow. To make the best of the situation, I decided to shoot her as she was, but to also shoot her shaving after that. So Set #1 has some very nice posed nudes of this beginner model, and Set #2, coming in a few days, shows a candid series of her shaving herself and showing off the smooth results. (More shots, including much more explicit close-ups, are now showing on LSG) 6-24-08 This just in: we're now hearing that one of the unintended consequences of George Bush's economic stimulus package (aka tax rebate) has been a boost to porn sites. Evidently with the economy in the trash can and gas heading for 5.00 per gal., a lot of people are choosing to stay home more and spend their little windfall tax refunds on web-based porn. After all, it's cheaper than going out on a real date. 6-18-08 Layla is an English model who has been requested by a number of members, so I'm posting another set of her. She has a great, voluptuous body - in fact you'll notice I photographed her in her big white bra almost as much as without it, since she looked very sexy both ways. (btw, she's very sweet, in spite of her serious look.) (Lots more of Layla on LSG) 6-10-08 Picture yourself in a small European hotel, somewhere on the Mediterranean coast, on a warm summer afternoon. You're traveling for a few weeks with your new Italian girlfriend, Sara, and you're just taking a few casual snapshots as she takes off her dress and settles down on the bed... That's exactly the feeling I had as I made this series of shots. Sara has the aura of a real woman - not so much a fashion model, or a nude web star, but someone with some real character and true sex appeal. (Plus she's one of the most popular girls on my site and on LSG) 6-02-08 "Cox" is a lovely 19 year old Czech model, who probably doesn't understand the English implications of the pseudonym she's chosen for herself...and I gave up trying to explain it to her. This is the second of four sessions with this model - in this case, I used the same setup as you may have seen last month with Mikelle. Quite often on these LSG shoots, we move quickly from one set to the next and I tend to repeat the sets that are to my liking - spare and simple. Again, the lighting is one big source, bounced off two white walls in a corner - nothing could be easier, and yet the results are quite bold and elegant (imho..) (For more sets of Cox go to LSGmodels.com) 5-25-08 Here's a sample of what you can get with the absolute simplest studio lighting setup, even 5000 miles from home. This was done in a large apartment with white walls. Two large softboxes were positioned a few feet from the model, camera left (although one light source would also have worked nearly as well) and I was about 15ft back for most of the shots. Because the walls serve as reflectors, the light on the model turns out fine from almost any angle, and also wipes out most shadows on the rear wall. If you don't have a huge apartment, you can just scale down the shoot to either portraits, or waist-up images. (Lots more of Keira, including explicit video, on LSGmodels.com) 5-16-08 I used to shoot almost exclusively black & white studio sessions, and I usually made it a point to get non-smiling expressions on the models' faces. I thought it added to the artistic nature of the work (it did). Now I'm finding myself doing just the opposite - trying to get big smiles out of the models (the Czech word for smile = oosmiev). For some reason, in color, and in a bright sunny room, it seems much sexier to see a happy face. It's lucky I've changed my approach, since today's model, Ellen, could not stop grinning for more than about 10 seconds. As you'll see, even in the most explicit poses, she's got an award winning smile. 5-09-08 As many of you know, I've been shooting a lot in Eastern Europe lately. I've become fascinated with the variety of faces we see in the models there - some with the classic Czech bone structure, high cheekbones and full lips - and others with an almost Asian look, such as you'll see in this series of Tina. There are a few rather explicit shots in this gallery (and many more at LSG) but the ones I find the most erotic are a group of about a dozen simple photos of Tina removing her jeans while lying on the bed. The images are somewhat posed, but also candid and "real" at the same time. I even included some awkward in-between shots, since I find those can bring out that sexy innocence so often missing from erotic photography these days. 5-01-08 I shot Mikelle with a Nikon D300, in color mode, and then converted to grayscale for this gallery. I think the lighting here lends itself to this process - white walls, full frontal strobes in softboxes, very flat and even. This is from a March location shoot with the London Studio Group . These sessions generally run about 30 to 45 minutes, so I don't get a lot of time with each model. Mikelle is quite experienced with fashion and glamour, so we were able to get quite a few very striking shots - some just fun and sexy and others very explicit. (A lot more of her now posted on LSGmodels.com) 4-23-08 I've shot this model for the London Studio Group 5 or 6 times. She calls herself Lola, for obvious reaons. In person she's exactly the way she appears in the pictures: young, happy, pretty, very sexy - but I don't think she's ever said a word during our sessions. She smiles and nods, and follows directions, but she's probably the quietest girl I've ever worked with. (I do know she's very capable of making noise, at least moaning and heavy breathing, as evidenced by her video clips at LSG...) 4-14-08 I've shot this model for the London Studio Group 5 or 6 times.

4-05-08 Here's a change of pace - a b&w series from one of my "observer" workshops. A group of photographers gathered in my studio to watch and learn some of my basic techniques, from making and using a canvas backdrop to shooting film and Polaroids with a Hasselblad. The results of this workshop were quite satisfying, and some of these shots have appeared in various photo and fetish books. I've also included a few proof sheets in this gallery, to give a better idea of the progression of poses and angles involved getting "just the right shot". 3-25-08 When was the last time you saw a woman wearing a girdle? I'd have to say it was many years ago, in the Sears Catalog - that is, until I shot this week's cover girl, Natalie M. * Natalie is very fond of this retro-pinup look - with the girdle, white stockings, big brassier (for obvious reasons), etc - so we had a lot of fun with her 1950's era underwear. Have no fear, however, she managed to remove most of it by the end of the session. *Please note, this is not the other Natalie, from my earlier b&w work. This was shot for LSG, and the complete set can be found there (with a few more explicit shots.) 3-17-08 I've just returned from a marathon shoot in Prague - photographing a new crop of LSG models. And from my totally biased and unscientific polling, Keira seems to have won the hearts of a majority of the Private Archive members, so here she is. This was an unusual encounter, since she'd written to me weeks before saying she had just started modeling and was hoping to work with me. It was a nice coincidence that I was already booked to do the LSG shoot in March, so we immediately added her to the schedule. (Lots more of her, plus video, soon on LSG) For those who need an excuse to look at the pictures, you can study the difference between these, done with the new Nikon D300, as opposed to my other recent shots, using the D2X. 3-09-08 Update from Prague: here are a few shots of four of the latest LSG models, from a shoot still in progress in rainy Eastern Europe. (Full size images available in Private Archive) I'll be returning to California next week, so let me know which of these sweethearts you'd like to see more of. 2-25-08 When shooting in a new environment, I often try to get the models to stand in for some lighting tests, before we really get going on the actual shooting session, since I hate to have to stop and adjust lights during the shoot. In this case, I was fortunate to have two models hanging around, although as you'll see, one of them needed a little help getting undressed. 2-15-08 Nela returns with a series done during my first Prague trip, when she was a complete novice, and only 18. This session took place in a very small studio, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees. You can see a bit of a glow on her skin, due to the heat and humidity, but I think it only adds to the sexiness of the photos. 2-7-08 Today, I'm presenting a guest gallery of enchanting work from a new book by a fellow photographer. Jack Gilbert is the founder of Michelle7.com, one of the web's most influential sites devoted to artistic nude photography. He is also responsible for a related site, Visions of Ophelia, which focuses on his own visions of beautiful young women. The new book, of the same name, is a wonderful collection of black & white nudes and semi-nude portraits of girls on the cusp of woman-hood, photographed with obvious appreciation for their unique mystery and magic. 1-29-08 I posted a gallery of Demi several months ago, and I've recently received a couple requests for more of her, so here she is again. This series has a much different look from the previous set, although they were both made the same afternoon in Prague. Here, she's got that traditional sexy fashion model pose - it could be an ad for perfume or jeans (don't worry, those come off about half-way through) The session ends up with some very explicit shots, although her LSG sets and videos go even further. 01-22-08 Here's another gallery of images from the LSG London house - again with one of my favorites, Wildy. These were done with available light on a rather cloudy afternoon, so you'll see the ISO 800 grain in many of the images - which I happen to like. The digital format makes low light shooting much more palatable, but many people don't like this type of "noise" in the photos. I, on the other hand, am reminded of the old fashioned look of high--speed film and push-processing. and for me it adds a bit of artsiness to the shots. In any case, I doubt anyone will object to looking at this beautiful young woman, no matter what the format. 01-13-08 Amber is back, for a session we might call "Fun with Pantyhose" I've never been a big fan of pantyhose - I much prefer bare legs or thigh-high stockings (although I don't really look good in either) - so it was surprising how many nice shots we got in this series of our favorite hot redhead posing in her striped hose, and then proceeding to carefully cut out the crotch, for some even better pics. (There will be a few more stills, plus some behind-the-scenes video of Amber posted soon on LSG) 01-04-08 At the ripe old age of 26, Adriana is considered nearly over the hill in the modeling world, but there's certainly no sign of it in this set. This gallery comes from a recent shoot at the LSG country house, just outside London. Adriana was with us for a couple days, and I did four long shoots with her, but I think this simple natural light series, shot in the smallest bedroom, is my favorite. The wardrobe was little more than cut-off jeans and a blouse - which I often find more erotic than any wild fetish outfit - and she has a sexy maturity you just can't find in teenagers. (To see the rest of the sets of this models, and some more explicit videos of her, check out LSGmodels.com) 12-25-07 Anita is another Czech model, photographed in the large LSG apartment in Prague. This is a very similar lighting set-up to last week's session: two big soft boxes off to the right, and in front of the model, and a plain background. This is a common fashion technique, and I love to shoot these gorgeous girls in this style, since the final scenario here is so much different than the common fashion layout. For those who are also LSG members, you can see a video of this shoot in their new VIP section. 12-17-07 This is a basic studio shoot, with standard seamless paper, big strobes, and our favorite subject, a beautiful nude model. Christelle's gallery is really a very simple excercise - naked girl applies body lotion - which makes for some very sexy / sensual poses; but you'll also see a great range of expressions on her face. She has that young-and-innocent look, but also, at times, the professional fashion model's disengaged attitude, that we all find so irresistible (for some reason). I also have a nice natural light session with Christelle, which we'll post in the near future, and which has a totally different look. (See the LSG site for the full set of Christelle's sessions) 12-10-07 Today's set of photos is from a recent trip to London. We had a beautiful house in the English countryside, just chock full of naked girls. I shot for 5 days, and I'd have to say that this session with Czech fashion model Wildy, is my favorite from the whole week. She is the definition of Stunning: tall, thin, blue eyes, not too young, but not too old. So, if you're freezing in the snow and ice this week, you may be able to warm up with Wildy in her bright sunny bedroom, and her pretty yellow lingerie. I surprised myself by taking even more shots of her with her underwear on than with it off - but of course she's just as stunning naked, and we have some rather explicit examples of that too. (You can see more of Wildy, and the other 45 London sessions at LSG ) 12-03-07 Kymberly has a great combination of a classic sexy pinup body and a beautiful but slightly wild & dangerous look. We shot this series on my studio canvas set, at the end of a long afternoon - this is just one of four sessions with her. The only problem with a model like this is that it's never time to put down the camera. As you'll see, she can look sweet and innocent in one shot, and then downright pornographic a few seconds later. Fortunately, here in the digital age, there's never a danger of running out of film, so I have many gigabites of Kym in the can. (so to speak) I'll be posting more of her here, and quite a lot of the really explicit shots will be available at LSG in the coming weeks. 11-25-07 Viki is back for another return engagement - this time in the dining room of LSG's 300 year-old Normandy chateau, out in the French countryside. We had seven models on site for this week long shoot last year, and I think I photographed every single one of them in this room, and on this table, before the trip was over. (Look for Nela and Ronni in their diningroom table sessions, in the Private Archive) Viki seemed perhaps the most relaxed and "at home" of all the models, stretched out on this platform and shedding her clothes for the camera - and as you can see from this cover shot, she has just about the perfect physique for such an assignment. 11-17-07 As many of you know, I often shoot private commissions, most of which are never seen here, since they're, well, private. But once in a while, when I'm very pleased with a private shoot, and if the client / subject is willing, I post a few shots on the site. That's the case with today's gallery - this is Mistress Matisse, the beautiful and infamous Seatlle blogger and dominatrix. These are the highlights of a huge cache of photos we shot over the course of a long, but very satisfying session - including a mix of things - portraits, some fashion shots (check out the perfect tight black dress she's wearing) and, of course, a few nudes. I shot this session many moons ago, and I've been meaning to put this little collection together for quite some time. And while we all enjoy the pretty teenage models from Prague, I know there are a few of you out there just dying to see a real woman, with poise, self-confidence, and, happily, some pubic hair. So if you're the type who'd choose Catherine Deneuve over the Olsen Twins, then you're going to love this series. And if you like what you see, you might also want to visit her blog. In addition to being a pro dom, she's also a very sharp and witty writer on countless subjects, but mostly about s-e-x, and all its many permutations. 11-10-07 Today's photo set is unusually large; I've included a lot of images I might normally edit out, in order to show some of the rather innocent, awkward shots of this very sweet girl posing nude for the first time. My intention is not to show her looking silly, but to show how these hesitant, unsure expressions can make very nice images, and can actually be very sexy as well. It's also an interesting study in how the edit of a group of photos can make a huge difference in the impression one gets about the model, the photographer, and the photo session. It should be easy to tell which shots I would have eliminated to make it appear she was a seasoned veteran (and to also make it appear my photo skills were flawless...) (Klara has come a long way since this first session, as I'll demonstrate in the near future, or go to LSG now for more stills and videos of her.) 11-02-07 It's not often these days that I pull out my classic canvas backdrop for a photo session; and even though this is a color set, I think you'll recognize the look from many of my early black & white shots already posted here. Amber had such a great look in the natural light of the studio, with her pale skin and gorgeous red hair, that I forgot about using the strobes for this one. Photographers out there may notice the effect of setting the digital camera white balance to daylight indoors, which produced a blue cast to the gray canvas. I could have corrected that later, but I decided it looked good, especially with this model. And if anyone can tell me why the telephoto zoomed in accentuates the blueness, I'm all ears... (As usual, see the LSG site for even more of this model.) 10-26-07 Anyone who grew up "reading" Playboy in the 60's and 70's as I did (well, anyone male and heterosexual) will be quite familiar with the body type of this week's model, Simi. She's the classic Hugh Hefner centerfold from the glory days of the magazine - buxom (I think that's the first time I've ever used that word) pink cheeked, all natural and unattainable. I used to think girls like this couldn't possibly exist, but now I have my own photographic evidence. This is a large set of images, with quite a few clothed and semi-nude shots (and, don't worry, quite a few very explicit nudes) since I encouraged her to take her time slipping out of her blouse and skirt and underwear. For those who are as taken with this model as I was, look back a few months in the Archive for her first set of pics. (For even more of Simi, plus a few videos, visit the LSG site.) 10-19-07 I started shooting a lot for the London Studio Group last summer, and we began in Prague with some local fashion models, most of whom were posingnude for the first time. Viktoria was one of the first we shot at the studio , and even at 19, she'd already learned that fashion models never smile and always act bored. She didn't have much trouble getting out of her clothes, but it was a challenge getting her to smile or laugh. I'm posting a compilation of three sessions here, to show how she eventually comes out of her fashion shell and turns into a cute, smiley, happy, almost girlnext-door type. 10-12-07 I just saw an article on the web about Natalie Portman appearing nude in a new film, and I was reminded of our friend, Ronni, my favorite Natalie Portman look-alike from Prague. Whether or not you agree about her resemblance to Ms Portman, I'm guessing you'll enjoy wondering if this lovely body is anything like that of the famous movie star. Observant members will recognize the setting as the same one in which Nela was shot, in a set presented a couple weeks ago. Both come from the shoot I did with the London Studio Group last year in the French countryside. When working on a large project with numerous models, I often leave the lights and set untouched for several different sessions - not only for the sake ofefficiency, but also because I find it interesting and rather erotic to shoot several subjects in exactly the same setup (and of course the same can be said of my early black & white studio work) 10-05-07 The first day of our first shoot for the London Studio Group we had some lovely girls waiting in the Prague studio, and I hadn't yet tested my lighting or camerasettings in the cramped space we were using. I sensed the models were getting restless, so while one went off to do her video session, I asked the others to just stand up in front of the seamless, wearing the clothes they'd arrived in, and undress. I was then able to test the lights, camera and models all at the same time. Also, I must admit, even after all these years, I still get that warm fuzzy feeling when I can say to three beautiful young women, "Please walk over there andtake off your clothes." (Bonus tip for you photographers: take a close look at some of these behind-the-scenes pics and you'll see that you don't need a huge space to make decent studio shots. Of course, you still need the beautfiul women... 09-26-07 I've just returned from another LSG shoot - this time, a week in London - so we're running a bit behind with our updates here. Fortunately I've got a new exotic beauty to introduce - the lovely Dia, from Brasil. Her olive skin is quite a nice contrast to most of our recent models, plus she's got that seemingly rare (and imho very sexy) attribute among modern girls: pubic hair. Also, for the photo geeks out there, you may be interested to know that this is the first session I've shot with the new Nikon 18-200 VR zoom. It's a great all purpose lens, and I think you'll enjoy the sharp close-ups I was able to get, in some of those hard-to-reach areas... 09-16-07 Another member favorite, Nela, was along on our famous Normandy trip with the LSG crew. This series was shot on a cold, rainy afternoon at our chateau in the French country |
