Update 9 August 2025

I'm not here for politics. I am here because there is a great community of photographers and models who support each other.

My camera has A.D.D. One minute it's boudoir. Another time astrophotography. Maybe landscapes/travel. Only my camera knows.

This photo features a woman posing on a light-colored sofa in a dimly lit, cozy living room. She is wearing purple lingerie and has her long, dark hair draped over one shoulder while looking toward the camera with a soft expression. The room is decorated with a large green plant, a lamp in the background, and dark wood flooring. A warm, hazy light flare crosses the center of the image, creating a dreamy, intimate atmosphere.

Photo Description ​This is a vertical, full-body portrait of a woman standing in the shallow surf of an ocean beach at what appears to be dusk or dawn, characterized by soft, warm light. ​Subject ​The woman is standing in the center of the frame, facing the camera with a confident and dramatic pose. ​She has long, voluminous, dark, wavy hair that cascades over one shoulder. ​She is wearing a white, slightly sheer, oversized button-down shirt, mostly unbuttoned, and light-colored (possibly beige or gold) bikini bottoms with ties on the sides. ​Her left arm is raised, with her hand resting on her head, while her right hand is placed on her hip. ​The water is washing over her feet and ankles, creating a dynamic, foamy effect around her. ​Setting & Atmosphere ​The background features the ocean, which has a moderate, foamy surf. The water has a dark, deep-blue appearance, contrasting with the white foam. ​The horizon line is visible, separating the water from the sky. ​The sky is the source of a beautiful, soft, golden-hour light, featuring pale orange, pink, and yellow hues, which creates a serene yet vibrant backdrop. ​The overall mood is sensual, powerful, and relaxed, with a strong focus on the subject's connection to the natural environment.

"Alleyway Goals"

Clérigos Tower (Torre dos Clérigos)
2025
Porto, Portugal 📍

#portugal #porto #dourovalley #visitportugal #travel #oporto #longexposure #nightphotography #portoportugal #visitporto #portuguese #winelovers #vinho #ButroTravel #streetphotography #urbanphotography
This photograph captures a view looking up a narrow, cobbled street or alleyway that is flanked by tall, traditional buildings. Setting: The street leads uphill, creating a strong sense of perspective that draws the eye into the distance. The pavement is made of dark, uneven cobblestones. Architecture: The buildings are multi-story and show classic European architectural styles. The building on the left is painted a vibrant yellow or ochre, contrasting with the lighter, mostly white and green/grey facades of the buildings on the right. Many windows have characteristic balconies. Focal Point: At the end of the street, framed perfectly by the gap between the buildings, is the distinctive, Baroque-style clock tower of the Clérigos Church (Torre dos Clérigos), which is a famous landmark in Porto, Portugal. This landmark helps confirm the location is likely in the historic center of Porto. People: Two figures, a couple or companions, are walking away from the viewer up the street, adding a sense of movement and scale. Light and Atmosphere: The scene is brightly lit from above by a clear blue sky, casting deep shadows along the sides of the buildings and highlighting the color of the left wall. The light and composition create a warm, inviting, and slightly mysterious atmosphere.

#OutdoorFashionShoot #football #portrait #FashionPhotography #FashionEditorial #OutdoorPhotography #Model #FashionModel #OutdoorFashion #nikon #ButroModel
​This is a portrait photograph of a woman posing outdoors, likely during the golden hour due to the warm, bright sunlight visible in the background. ​Subject: A woman with medium-length dark hair is the central subject. She is looking directly at the camera with a serious or intense expression. ​Attire: She is wearing a black and white striped button-down shirt. The shirt is styled in a revealing way, unbuttoned down the front and tied in a knot at her waist. ​Pose & Setting: She has one arm raised and her hand resting on the back of her head/hair. She is leaning against a bright yellow vertical pole which runs up the center-left of the background. The background appears to be a grassy field, possibly a sports field or park, which is blurred (shallow depth of field) to keep the focus on the subject. ​Lighting: The photo is lit by warm, natural light coming from behind and slightly to the right of the subject (backlit), creating a sun flare/haze effect around the pole and her hair, which adds a dramatic and soft quality to the image. ​The overall style is a bold, fashion-oriented portrait utilizing strong contrast (the stripes) and warm, dramatic lighting.

​That is a beautiful photo! It features a woman posing indoors, likely for a boudoir or portrait session, with a festive or cozy theme suggested by the background elements. ​📸 Photo Description ​The image is a medium-close up portrait of a woman with dark hair featuring lighter streaks. She is wearing light-colored, possibly white or cream-colored, delicate lingerie, including a lace bralette and matching robe/kimono with wide lace cuffs. ​The lighting is soft and moody, with a dark background and warm, out-of-focus lights (bokeh) that appear to be from a decorated Christmas tree or similar holiday decor, creating a soft, romantic, and intimate atmosphere. A blurred white object, likely part of the decorated tree, is prominent in the foreground on the left, adding depth. ​The woman is posing with one arm raised and her hand resting on her head, allowing her hair to cascade over her shoulder. Her expression is calm, sultry, and confident, and she is looking down with her eyes closed or partially closed. The overall mood is sophisticated, sensual, and intimate.

The image depicts a serene nighttime scene, with a person standing in a grassy field, gazing up at the starry sky. The individual is positioned centrally, holding a flashlight that casts a beam of light upwards towards the heavens. - *Person:* Standing in the center of the image, facing away from the viewer and towards the sky. - *Flashlight:* Held by the person, emitting a bright blue beam of light that ascends into the sky. - *Grassy Field:* The person stands on a lush green field, dotted with trees and bushes in the background. - *Trees:* Two palm trees are visible on either side of the person, adding to the tropical ambiance. - *Sky:* The night sky is filled with countless stars, forming a stunning celestial display. - *Watermark:* A watermark in the bottom-right corner reads "BUTROVICH PHOTOGRAPHY" in white text, accompanied by a camera icon. The image exudes a sense of wonder and awe, as if the person is marveling at the vastness of the universe. The use of a flashlight to illuminate the sky adds a touch of magic to the scene, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The photograph appears to be taken during a clear night, with minimal light pollution, allowing for an unobstructed view of the stars. The overall effect is one of tranquility and contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world depicted in the image.

She has short, styled hair and her eyes are closed with one hand resting gently on the back of her head, conveying a sense of relaxed allure. ​Setting & Mood: The background is dimly lit, focusing attention on the subject and the bright, warm glow of the Christmas lights. The lighting is soft and magical, creating a sensual and festive holiday mood. ​Key Elements: A heavily frosted Christmas tree is on the left, adorned with red and gold ornaments. The colorful lights scattered around her and the tree are the primary source of illumination, highlighting the festive, cozy atmosphere.

Molasses cookies, Welsh Cakes, Gingerbread, and Chocolate chip cookies. Worked all weekend making these, but tomorrow I will deliver them to some of the hardest-working women at a nearby cafeteria.

It is not much, but they all know my name and deserve to know their work is appreciated.
