Happy Monday, Hive [Tuesday for you all waking up abroad]. I just got back from @caffetto. Come to think of it, I was there a couple of times today. @vermillionfox took a fall on the ice while waking back to the car in uptown. She’s been in a lot of pain with a tender risk so after dropping @guthrie off at school, I had to buy her a wrist guard before she clocked in to work. The rest of my day has been @mirrorpool meetings with @felblob and @swarddraws on some exciting NFT news coming shortly. Kickboxing was great tonight considering it was my first night back, then and closed the evening with editing at @caffetto…again.
Every now and then, I’ll do a few individual edits rather than an entire set from one shoot. That tends to be on days that I’m only able to edit for 20 - 30 minutes, then pack up for other errands and commitments. That was the kind of day it was. I was able to finish a new photo of @dressedtokillyou from LA in October. This was completely serendipitous. We hadn’t planned it, even though she lives in London and I live in Minneapolis. Over the years, we’ve become very close friends so we ceased the opportunity and she woke up early taking an Uber to Pasaenda to meet me for this shoot. The photos didn’t disappoint; they never do!
Next, I wanted to share a new shot of Sar from Chicago. I shared another edit from this shoot a week ago and a few people said they were hoping to see more of her. We collaborated together often from about 2012 through 2015. We did an entire shoot at @mada’s home, which has been a venerable location for many dark pinup sessions over the years. She eventually got married, moved away, had a child, moved a few more times and we just recently reconnected. @tarotbyfergus and I made the trip to Chicago for a death match wrestling tournament and she met me there for this shoot on short notice.
Lastly, this is a new edit of Renee Olstead. Renee reached fame as a child actor and singer for The Disney channel. She has since grown into a full realized, liberated woman. We first shot together in 2016. We got some outstanding images back then, but since reconnecting in 2021, our photos have been next level. While visiting LA in October, I booked a cute AirBnB on top of Topanga Canyon and she met me there early before check out the following morning so that we could squeeze in one last collaboration for 2022. This shot is so strong with the backdrop!
Wow, real nice shot‘s
Thank you, @pippo84!
Cool shot of all these beautiful models.
They are, @benk07! I've been really fortunate to work with so many professionals. Thanks for the comment.
it was really fun to work with them.
Great job 💪
Congratulations!
Thank you, @orinoquense!
Without words, it's spectacular what you can do with your camera.
It show your passion and your model's passion for taking amazing photos.
Thank you, @triplug! The camera actually does help. This is my first mirrorless camera and I've been amazed at what it can do with exposures and focus. Also, some of the recent updates to Photoshop's Bridge and camera RAW applications have been game changers as well.
Even if you don't own such a high-performance camera but you are very passionate about photography, the end result will surely be amazing.
