Shot at an emptied out room above a shop in Five Points. The chair was broken, a remnant from the shop below. The sprayed lettering was already there which worked out well. Almost 40 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.
Location: Columbia
Sierra, Bicycle II
On a fortunately desolate road in town. Sierra‘s got a body.
Sierra, Bicycle I
Out with Sierra on a mostly deserted road on the southeast side of Columbia, on one incredibly hot day.
Care, Under the Lights
The second set from our first shoot, Care, again, nailed it. Care does seductive well.
Care, Mid-Century Casting Couch
This is the first set from the first shoot with Care. We had known each other (or of each other) for a while. Followed her on instagram and she was posting normal everyday kind of posts. Then one day, this photo of this great-looking redhead shows up on my feed. And I realize it’s her….
Sierra, Under the Lights
Sierra’s just a great model. And in this set, she gave me one of my all-time favorite shots; three guesses which one it is.
Sierra, Members Only
In the midst of the couch shoot, we took a little interlude and Sierra donned her Members Only jacket.
Sierra, Mid-Century Casting Couch
The first set with Sierra, I fell in love. I so wish that we had been able to shoot more than we did but we could never seem to coordinate schedules.
Cre, Under the Lights
Cre was cool. Killer eyes. Should’ve done more with her but kept the shoot pretty limited.
Cre, Mid-Century Casting Couch
The second model I would shoot on the casting couch was Cre and this was the first “settled” position for the couch. Such a great model to work with.
Carrie, Under the Lights
Carrie has a definite look to her – captivating. Absolutely gorgeous eyes.
Carrie, Porch
Shot on the back porch of a building in the middle of town, surrounded by a bunch of college-kid filled duplexes. This was the second set Carrie and I shot and this was the last time I had models take self-portraits with the Instax camera as I somehow managed to lose the little lens adjustment…
Carrie, Parks + Recreation
The first set with Carrie. We took a few very casual shots before this with her in another outfit but it didn’t quite pull together into a workable set. Carrie has phenomenal eyes. Just amazing. And thankfully the dress didn’t distract from them too much. Had bought it off of Amazon for the shoot and…
Lux, Under the Lights
These were fun shots with Lux. Just great to work with.
Lux, Mid-Century Casting Couch
Lux was fun. Super nice. The shoot went on for a lot longer than I anticipated but worth it.
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 plan. With Julia only shooting lingerie and implied nudes, it wasn’t exactly what I was…
Julia, Lights
One of the smallest sets, this was more experiment than anything. I had just purchased these lights and wanted to do a little DOF shooting with them, uncertain how I was going to use them. Julia obliged magnificently. (I’d use these lights later for the Under the Lights project.)
Julia, At the Park
One of the longer-running projects I’m shooting features the bicycle pictured here in the shoot. Julia was the first model I’d shoot with it.
A Thing of Booty, Volume 3
Volume 3 in A Thing of Booty features an eclectic mix of derrières, including micro bikini, lingerie, implied nude, nude, erotica, and erotica+ shots.
A Thing of Booty, Volume 2
Volume 2 in A Thing of Booty features an eclectic mix of derrières, including micro-bikini, lingerie, implied nude, nude, erotica, and erotica+ shots.
Care
Care and I had mutual friends in Columbia and we might have spoken once or twice. Not often. Followed her on Instagram, very “life as it is” kind of stream. Then one day I’m scrolling down and there’s this gorgeous redhead on my feed. And it’s her. So of course I reached out. We immediately…
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. Super nice and super beautiful.
Cre
Most everywhere that I live, I like to keep an ad running on craigslist, searching for models. Cre responded to one of my ads and sent along some photos. I liked her look; awesome bedroom eyes. So she came over for a shoot and we did two sets, one on the couch and then one…
Fox
Shooting with Fox was an utterly super experience. After I shot Valkyrie, she had suggested shooting with Fox in Columbia. An excellent, excellent suggestion. The two days that we shot together were just stellar. It was such a good and unique vibe. I entirely meant to shoot Fox and Valkyrie individually while I was there…
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, buying furniture and whatnot as needed to fill up whatever space I lived in, so…
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 her look. But when she showed up, I could only vaguely see the person in…
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 on her. Just complete natural beauty. Sadly, M has moved literally thousands of miles away…
Mo
Can’t remember how I connected with Mo but she was the last shoot I did in Columbia and the first shoot I did in Winston-Salem. I have to hand it to her, she’s a trooper. I had been out scouting with a friend and we ran across this crazy abandoned warehouse buried in the woods….
Rachel
Rachel was a friend of Care‘s and reached out to me to shoot. Super nice girl with beautiful eyes. We’ve talked often about shooting more but can never seem to coordinate schedules.
Sierra
Sierra responded to an ad I had on craigslist. I have to give her enormous amounts of credit because after I moved to Columbia, I couldn’t find my groove. Had an impossible time finding models and the shoots that I had done felt really lackluster. The energy that she brought to the first shoot changed…
