Update 2021: Hi everyone! I’m a semi-retired nude art photographer.

I haven’t updated the photo selection in my MM in a long time. You may know me from places like Zivity where I had been sharing my work and creating with amazingly talented models prior to it's shut down.

Some things about me…

~Because this genre of work is no longer my primary focus (no photo pun intended), I generally only work for-hire for up-and-coming models and for those who are looking for content creation to sell to subs.
~I'm fun and easygoing, and I'm sure we'll have a great time working together.
~I prefer actual locations to studio work so temperature and weather conditions are often factors in the equation.

What are you waiting for, message me already! :)

LONG TERM PROJECTS…

~PATREON/CONTENT Although my other projects have more direction, a plot, restrictions to focus on a message, these Fine Art Nude Editorials for Patreon are about you, the model. Nothing too complex, a story, beautiful imagery, not always pretty imagery, some sad, or happy, but emotion filled, powerful. The power you have from within coming forth. Let’s create something beautiful, enticing, sensual, raw, and real. Help make Fine Art relevant again.


~ABANDONED BOOKS PROJECT It's actually a huge project, and I feel it’s one of the most important ones of my career. The concept is that this is a world similar to 1984/Fahrenheit 451 where people have books hidden because they are illegal, the commentary is about how kindles/iPads/nooks are taking over and paper books are disappearing, it bothers me that in some digital versions of the literature they are changing the writers words to be more PC, example mark twain works, they are taking the N word out and replacing it with something like "African American". Now I don't approve of the use of the word in a derogatory sense but this is part of history and the use of the word shows context for the time period the story is set in, the author is dead and his words should not be corrupted. I am trying to express that there is a purity in the original works and so in this world these people who discover and read the purity of the writings and become pure and innocent again, that is represented in their disrobement. Sort of the opposite of the Adam and Eve story, but instead they lose their sin and no longer need their clothing because the clothing represents sin and their naked bodies represent truth and innocence. It also comments that nudity is not sinful and is in fact purity. The concept mostly involves books and older "technology" vs the new technology we know of today and contrasts that commenting on how it corrups our society. It's a very important project and I hope you will be a part of it.


~MACRO PARTS BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT On a limited basis I'm working on a collection of very intimate portraits of intimate parts. I want to be clear this is about the art and lighting of the human form, it's about positive body image, and is for both men and women, it will be done in B&W using high key lighting and film as a medium. I'mages of lips, nips, hands, labia(or penis), collarbones, butts, thighs, eyes, hair, all super close up body portraiture. It's a celebration of the human body and discovering the beauty in all types and forms. It's an anonymous project and will become a book when complete. PLEASE NOTE: due to the nature of some of the imagery, I cannot post examples on MM unfortunately, so please ask for examples and I'll send a link :)

AND FINALLY A message to NEW MODELS: Have a good support system! I’m poly, my partner(s) support me, they are happy for me to create and share the joy of the imagery I create with all of the artists in my life. It took me a LONG time to let some of my family know about my work, I chose to keep that part of myself hidden until I felt I was in a place artistically and emotionally where I could put that part of myself out there. Some artists never do, often models create online model personas with their own model names that separate them from their personal lives, protects them, and empowers them.

If your support system; your friends, your partner(s), your family are NOT supporting you, you need to take a good look at what YOU WANT. You need to be STRONG. When it comes to family… they will probably be the hardest, next your friends, they too may be skeptical, not all supportive, and the clincher is your relationship, your partner(s), more than anything they NEED to be supportive, and let me tell you, partners sometimes come and go, don’t let them hold you back, if they aren’t propelling your forward, maybe they aren’t the right partner for you. They need to help you, to guide you, to protect you, yes protect, which means also making sure you don’t dive in too deep too fast, and thats OK. But if they tell you you CAN’T do something, that’s a sure sign they are NOT being supportive. YOU are your own person, they can say “I don’t think that’s the wisest choice, but if you choose to do x thing or y thing, I’ll be there to support you, but maybe try z thing first and see how it goes?” That’s the kind of people you need in this line of work. PLEASE don’t let your angry boyfriend physically attack the photographer because he’s jealous and is trying to control you, or threaten to leave you if the work goes public. This is a form of ABUSE, and you shouldn’t tolerate it. Support… always seek support. You also need to be prepared to realize this work is like a tattoo, once you get one, it’s there for life, there’s no take backs, there’s no “hey I know you published this book with my image in it, but can you maybe not print a second edition because now I’m a (insert non-model-profession / different life status person) and I don’t want those out there anymore. It can work that way in certain situations, but there's no guarantee there. PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL LIE TO YOU, they will tell you “sure if you don’t like something I swear I can just not use it/take it down/etc” but after years of seeing it happen to poor new models, I can tell you DO NOT trust the Photographer (even me, I'm not a bad person, but in 5 years am I going to remember our conversation and a verbal agreement or remember that some random photo I find that fits with a different series was connected to someone who asked me to check with them, probably not, sometimes it's simply accidental and part of the freedom of the creative process, no malicious intent, accidents happen). Trust yourself, trust your instincts, don’t be afraid to be brave and try new things, but understand and accept where those things lead. Be Smart. DOUBLE CHECK that the photographer is a good person, that they aren't on some “bad photographer” list. There are scoundrels and bad “togs” out there, and you need to be aware. EVERYTHING should be discussed ahead of time, if you get to a shoot and suddenly the photographer starts introducing shot styles that were not discussed and you aren’t comfortable, say “I’M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT AND THAT WASN’T DISCUSSED AHEAD OF TIME, I’M SORRY BUT CAN WE STICK TO THE DISCUSSED SHOOT PLEASE?” If they get pushy, “c’mon, just try it” or worse, get scary, threaten you physically, or to slander your name if you don’t do what they want, any of that, CALL YOUR BACKUP PERSON right there and WALK AWAY, they are NOT SAFE. And it’s ok to leave, trust your instincts. I’ve seen too many people hurt by assholes out there. Also know your own limits, don’t say yes to something in the moment that you really don’t want to do and then try and take it back later, it never works and people can get hurt or be/feel taken advantage of. I want the best for you, safety, strength, communication, support.

Sorry for the long message, but it was important to say.
