I know been awhile

I have been very busy and well…just plain lazy. I am back in the swing and will be posting more. My last psot I talked about my muse model Shannon. Today I shot probably my last photo with her. sad to say she is moving back to  NC. I will miss her a lot. She has grown to be a friend as well as my muse. I wish her and her kids well.

here is my latest of her

Shannon

She always says I photograph nothing but her backside. Well it is the cutest one I have ever shot LOL

This was in the studio of a friend. I have made a deal with her to use her studio and lights from time to time. as any of you know I don’t shoot inside very often but it is nice to have that option, especially for artistic nudes.

The Tech stuff.

Alien bees 400

alien bees beauty dish

high and pointed down at about 5 feet. set for f8

I wanted the rapid light falloff at the bottom.

Muse

I think every artist should have a muse. I have found one I am quite happy with. She does not live far away is a stay at home mom. Available pretty much anytime I want to shoot and has a home large enough to shoot in. What more could I ask, well for starters that she stick around. Unfortunately she is living in Feb. so i will be without her. It is hard to find someone willing to try any pose or style and is so comfortable being in states of undress. Here is one of our latest.I am moving more and more to this artistic style of shooting

Shannon

I shot with my favorite muse last night. We tried some different things than our usual

Guerilla style outdoor nudes

I am not telling anyone to try this, but shoot and scoot outdoor nude shoots can be an adrenaline rush. I took allthe precautions I could. I scouted the location, a very rural country bridge that one end of the road was closed. We drove down and turned around facing back out knowing the road was closed behind us. Shannon was a trooper. We started shooting in the field off the road

It was a wildflower field. should have seen her naked in flip flops.

I thought the graffitti would be interesting

then she turned around and took her bra off.

and finally the Full Monty. Shannon has one of the nicest rears and set of legs I have ever had the pleasure to shoot. I am very fortunate to have her live so close and be a willing muse. I did not get to shoot her tied to the RR tracks, was just too many folks around. Maybe next time.

Shannon

I shot with one of my favorite models, last Saturday night. hard to belive she just had a baby three weeks ago. Once again it was all done with a 2 canon 430 EZ flashes and a small Quantaray slave flash. As I have said before you do not need elaborate or expensive lighting, it just makes it easier
