Style Implied Nude

Skye, Pink Boots

Skye had posted a photo of herself in these boots prior to our shoot and I messaged her to say, “Absolutely, bring those.” I had originally thought to do something at a construction site or something with harder colors and contrast…

Skye, Mid-Century Casting Couch

I’ve been lucky to find not just beautiful models to shoot but just fantastic people. Skye falls solidly in that group. And strongly in both departments. This was the first of two sets we did for our first shoot. No explicit nudity…

M, Sheer

One of the better ideas I had was shooting with a sheer sheet. Still would’ve been nice to shoot M with it outdoors in a field somewhere.

M, Purple Panties

After the “fiasco” with the black panties not really covering M, I bought another pair that I thought would work better. They worked just fine. 🙂

M, Mid-Century Casting Couch

This was fun. It was fortunate that M‘s hair was as long as it was at the time we shot since we were shooting implied nudes. What was less fortunate were these particular butt-less panties. Butt-less panties look great on…

M, Under the Lights II

M has such a great ass. I mean, I love everything about her as a model: great eyes, great facial expression, she poses wonderfully, but her butt is awesome. So buttless panties were a reeeeeally good look for her.

M, Bicycle I

The first set from the first shoot with M. I always tell models before shoots what I’m planning for us to shoot (as well as giving them guidelines on styling and wardrobe). M was comfortable shooting implied nudes so we…

Care + M, Red

After Care came over with M that one night, I knew I wanted to shoot M again. So this was our first shoot. She was awesome. It’s always interesting shooting two models together to see how they’ll both interact with…

Care, Balcony I

Care and I took a trip down to Myrtle Beach and stayed in a hotel so we could knock out a few shoots in the area. This was day two, getting ready before leaving the hotel. Also, pro-tip: if you…

Julia, Mid-Century Casting Couch

The first model I would photograph on the couch would be the first model I photographed in Columbia: Julia. At this point, I had an idea of what I wanted to shoot with the couch but didn’t have a solid…

Paige Cowell, Park

After shooting our first set at the house, we headed out to a park close by to take some other shots.

Kristina, Futon

The first set of three that we shot. Kristina is one of the hottest “alt models” I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Truly gorgeous.

Allison, You Can Leave Your Hat On

Arguably one of the best striptease songs ever is Randy Newman’s You Can Leave Your Hat On as performed by Joe Cocker. I hadn’t planned this as an homage to that song but Allison made it exactly that with her…

Allison, Hermosa III

After spending a little time in the jungle, eating a peach, and then getting to the root of the matter, Allison got dirty on the beach. And then cleaned up. And then got muddy. And then got clean all over…

Allison, Hermosa II

A beautiful day on a beautiful beach with Allison. A good ways down Playa Hermosa, far enough away from the crowds that we couldn’t even see people in the distance. This is actually is one of my favorite sets, despite…

Allison, Jungle

I have to hand it to Allison for being a good sport. Because I had a vision for a photo and video shoot and, clearly, I was crazy from the heat when I came up with it. Me: Alright, here’s…

Jess, Scarf

One of a few different sets Jess and I shot at the hotel.

Allison

One of the great things about the small towns in Costa Rica (and really, anywhere) is that you know everyone if you don’t at least know of them. So Allison was visiting a friend at a neighboring cabina in Jaco…

Carrie

I don’t recall how Carrie and I connected but I know I was the one who reached out to her. Was totally captivated by her look. We did one shoot together and, unfortunately, not long after she moved to Germany.…

Jess

Funny story about Jess. So some media outlet was having some sort of competition looking for photographers and I was really excited about it. After looking for a model, Jess came to the forefront. So our first shoot was all…

Jessica

When I first moved to Costa Rica, I was leary of shooting models and it wasn’t until after I moved to Jaco that I felt comfortable enough to shoot. Jessica was the first model I photographed there and the goal…

Julia

Julia was the first model I photographed after moving to Columbia, SC. And it was kind of funny because, at the time, I didn’t really own anything. I had been living a fairly minimalist lifestyle for a pretty long time,…

Kristina

For some reason, at the end of 2016, I made it my mission to start shooting more models more often. I think I photographed about four different models that month. In any event, Kristina was one of those models. Met…

Lux

Lux reached out to me in response to an ad, if I remember correctly. Of all the models I’ve shot, nobody has ever transformed the way she did the day we shot. I had seen photos of her and liked…

M

Sweet Jesus, M is something else. Care and I had a shoot planned one night and, on the way over, she said she was bringing a couple of friends. M was one of those friends. Was immediately and obviously sold…

Samanda

Samanda reached out to me for a shoot while I was living in Jaco. There was a tree in a mountain town that she specifically wanted to shoot beside. So she, her sister, and her mother picked me up the…
