I've done one black tape shoot in the past, but I hired someone to tape my model. This time I gave it a try. I taped the outfit for @marietmodel_.

Alex reached out to me having never modeled before. When I looked at her profile, I saw someone unafraid to be playful, awkward, and expressive. That mattered to me. The models I’m most interested in aren’t trying to appeal to an algorithm or manage an image. They’re curious about expression, about

Thanks to @william_scherrer_photography for introducing me to @feytalattraction and assisting me. The shoot was mostly an outdoor nude shoot, but I captured these images at the end so we'd have something to post to Instagram. You'll find the full set of images on my blog. Link in bio.

I'm always delighted when someone makes art from my photos. I'm even more delighted when I get to model in one of those images. Fantastic artwork by Ali @digitaldesiress. Thanks to my collaborator @ahna.g_art and our photographer, the talented @jonnycreative

When beauty holds something back. The sense that there’s more to discover beyond the superficial. There are layers and the real story or emotion is layered in a way that’s not immediately obvious.

When I hosted a "black tape" shoot, I didn't expect to help design the outfits or capture images, but I did both with the help of @peteys_portraits_. Thanks to @marietmodel_ for being patient with me as I figured it all out. Big thanks as well to @@xandradzw and @_mrs.amy.de_.

Happy belated B-Day Marianna! 🥳🎉🎈🧁 She was so excited about her 21st birthday in December that she set this shoot up last August. I didn't know what we were going to shoot. We had some streamers, balloons, and some assorted party paraphernalia. But it all worked out. I was impressed at what Marianna

It's a great experience for a photographer to put themselves in their models' shoes and get in front of the camera. Rosie embraced the experience and rocked a day of shooting at a birthday party for @michsmitsje. Happy belated birthday Michelle! Styling by @jonnycreative.

In a world overflowing with images that distort our perception of humanity, life-affirming images of the human form are banned rather than honored as something sacred. So we created a museum quality book that celebrates human beauty and nature as one timeless work of art. tinyurl.com/yrv9brbf
