Style Nude

Anastasia, The Flash

Before Anastasia and I got settled in for some indoor shooting we did some shooting around the area with her in a yellow dress sans underwear.

Renna Ryann, Black Lace + Stockings

This was the last individual set with Renna on this marathon day before shooting her with Ava Addams after lunch and then Ava by herself later that afternoon. Honestly, I wish I had shot Renna extensively in this outfit because…

Renna Ryann, Mornings

Renna and I shot this little set of her morning routine during our third shoot. I always felt these were some of the most fun and innocent photos we shot and really captured Renna. Loved these photos but until this…

Renna Ryann, Construction Time

My first shoot with Renna and the start of our friendship. True story: I had a pretty well-known addiction to Nesquik and prior to us shooting, Renna had promised that if I shot her, she would give me some. And…

Tatiana, Guitar

If ever a guitar was misused more than in this shoot, I would love to see those photos. There’s a really simple explanation for why some of the shots look strange: there’s no strap on the guitar. So Tatiana is…

Delila Darling, Naked

On the day of our first shoot, I had planned a whole theme for the day. For whatever reason, I took a whole set of photos that weren’t tied into it and were just simply Delila naked on the bed.…

Christie, The Pantsuit

Christie in a snazzy pantsuit. Until she isn’t. You know, I really have no complaints about purple as a color. In fact, I’m kind of a fan. This set from our second shoot might have had something to do with…

Christie, Black Top

It’s funny but I never realized until I worked on these photos more than a decade later that Christie had an ass that wouldn’t quit. I don’t even remember noticing that while we were shooting. In any event, here’s another…

Anastasia, Black + White

Anastasia, in and out of her black top and black and white striped skirt. This is the final set from our first shoot.

Anastasia, Patio

In the midst of all of this jumping around between inside and outdoors, naked and clothed, we shot one set outside on the patio that didn’t quite make the fashion cut since Anastasia went sans panties. This was such an…

Anastasia, Apartment Nudes

From the first shoot with Anastasia. This is the natural progression following the Ripped Jeans + Lingerie and Pink Panties sets.

Katja, Motorcycle Boots

For the longest time, this was one of my favorite sets. Just Katja (eventually) wearing only motorcycle boots. I still absolutely love the idea and I think it’s a striking look: a nude model wearing only striking boots. It certainly…

Katja, Purple Dress

Katja had such a different look, very hippy chic. Definitely not the South Beach standard. Which was excellent. This was actually the second shot we set, the first one being very brief and really throwaway shots. With this set, I…

Ava Addams, On the Bed

I remember being super excited about working with Ava when we met. And we had met a few days earlier at a Starbucks on Washington Ave to talk about shooting. Such a different place and time back then, South Beach.…

Kesley, Albums

I have no idea what happened to these albums but it’s a shame that I don’t have them any longer. True Story, I’m a big fan of Tom Jones, Herb Alpert, and virtually all of the sort of lounge-y music…

Kesley, Breakfast in Bed

Very brief and super goofy, this set has Kesley naked in bed with a breakfast tray replete with English Muffins and OJ. Fancy! You gotta cut me a little slack on sets here. I was still just starting with photography…

Kristin, Apartment III

I think this was the first set where I actually used dedicated lighting. And it was only in shots where Kristin was laying down on the rug. Not professional lighting, of course. I had a work light that I was…

Kristin, Apartment II

This set is sort of the odd one out since the first and third are clearly stripdowns. This set is all of the strictly nude photos in between those sets, with me trying out a few different scenarios. If I…

Kristin, Apartment I

One thing about Kristin was she was very dramatic with her facial expressions. It’s just such a terrible shame that I shot her in low light with one lens, the “thrifty fifty.” Looking back, I wish we had shot all…

Britney Brooks, Red + White

This was the third set Britney and I shot and, like the first set, we shot this in the living room. The natural light was best in the bedroom (which you can see in Spongebob Squarepanties) but I was also…

Madison Scott, Cutoffs

The last set from my first shoot. With Madison. I’d like to think I’ve gotten a little better as a photographer since then. 🙂

Madison Scott, Bedroom II

For the longest time I was so proud of my first intentional DOF shot which I shot in this set. But my pride was tempered by what looks like a series of Sears Portrait Studio shots coming from the same…

Madison Scott, Bedroom I

Madison was great. And fun. And I was incredibly fortunate that for my first shoot I had a model with experience in front of the camera. And also one with experience being naked in front of the camera. Because I…

Alyssa

Alyssa was the first model I photographed from North Carolina after moving to the state. Shot in the early months of the COVID-19 lockdown, we planned from the outset to be cautious. In reality, there was far more risk going…

Amber

Amber’s shoot was a great one-off shoot. I was back in the states, having returned from Costa Rica and was temporarily living in North Carolina while I recuperated from dengue fever. Was getting cabin fever and somehow I connected with…

Anastasia

Anastasia was one of the nicer earlier surprises in my shooting career. Spent forever trying to coordinate our first shoot. Every time we’d set it up, something would come up and it would fall through. The last time we tried…
