Nudes

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...

Pre-pandemic, who knows when, I was working with some folks in a new independent co-working, looking to bring in more creatives, hold workshops and seminars and so forth. Felt like the beginning of something really interesting to be honest, there is such a lack of community at times outside of the virtual world, and frankly I’m sick of instagram and facebook is a cesspool. Long story short we were moving forward with holding some lighting / portraiture / figure workshops and wanted to test the space, as it was kinda funky and not anywhere near what you’d think of as a traditional studio. The results were surprising to say the least. I didn’t have high hopes for the low ceilings, but it worked out, even with a 5’10” model. The available light in the space proved pretty interesting as well.

Unclear whether we’ll ever pick up where we left off, but here’s what we’re left with. A littler diversion if nothing else. Model is Willa Prescott, on location in San Francisco, January of 2020.

Brooke Eva, Take #1

First take from the film scans of a shoot with Brooke Eva in early January. You can see more of Brooke's work at http://www.brookeva.net/

Found a great new space to shoot in... beautiful old hardwood floors and great big shop windows with amazing natural light. Got a couple more shoots on the books already for February, looking to use those South facing widows...

New years resolution of shooting more is so far working out. If you're down to shoot, drop me a line, always looking for new people to work with.

You can contact me here...

All images shot with a DigiBee 400 mono light, Leica M2 /M3 - on Ilford FP4 125 film, developed in Rodinal. 

Ashlyn, Take #1

Worked with Ashlyn quite a few months back now, an ex-pat model way out in the sticks in Mariposa, outside Yosemite National Park. She's got straight up hippie dreads and a huge personality. It was good fun, you can see a bit more of her work here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/2352803

Threw in a few color shots from the digital tests just for giggles... more scans to come...

Gallery Update: Portraits, Figures, Et Cetera

Dumped a new batch of images from the past couple years into the Portraits, Figures, Et Cetera gallery. Below is a few excerpts... see more in the full gallery at left... 

Amber, Take #1

After several false starts Amber and I were finally able to pull it together and shoot again in October. She's a wonderful model and just a lovely person... you can see more of her work at http://modelmayhem.com/ANudeMuse or at http://anudemuse.com/

All images shot with a Leica M2, Leitz 90mm f/2.8 on Ilford FP4 125 film.
