Been busy with #shutterfest this week. So not posting much. Here's a quick phone edit from a shoot...

Great work! I think the pink one is my favorite.

Agree! It looks like a perfect shot, and quite genuine. I think that's due to the skill of the photographer and model. Please share more.

What do you think of this pic? For me, it tells a story, because I happen to know the model's background. However, for those who don't know her, I'm wondering what you think or feel when looking at this shot. #artshare #boudoir #NSFW #lingerie

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

Stoked for next week. I'll be at #shutterfest as will these two lovely humans. We always make such cool art together! Models: @inarastarr.bsky.social & @scarletfevers.bsky.social #artshare #lingerie #boudoir #photographer

More #blackandwhite pics incoming! Latoya lounging by the pool for your #monochromemonday viewing pleasure. #BoudoirPhotography #Photographer #IntimateArt #BodyPositivity #EmpowermentThroughArt #SensualPhotography #ConfidenceInFocus #BoudoirSession #ArtisticExpression #bikini #artshare

While technically, this isn't #blackandwhite since it has a sepia tone, I think the pic of Thalyann still qualifies for #monochromemonday I could be wrong though. What do you think? #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Here's Moxie: The 1st pro models I worked with. Years after this Sandy Hook sunset shoot, I also officiated her wedding. If you're interested in a portrait or boudoir session, or in getting hitched, hit me up! #artshare #portrait #photographer #models #boudoir

Proof that time travel is real! I found this pic in my great grand pappy's hope chest. If @cassycyanide.bsky.social hasn't got super powers, she must be smarter than Doc Brown! #portrait #artshare #vintage

The #blackandwhite except for a single color pics used to be really popular some time ago. Is this something people still like to see? Let me know with a comment. #portrait #photographer #photography

Wrapping up #monochromemonday with another throwback. I shot this pic as the sun was setting over Double Trouble State Park, NJ. It was early in my photography journey, but I always liked how it came out. #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦 #artshare #blackandwhite

Here's an old pic I took of an Elvira #cosplay from years ago. I thought she had the attitude and look down to a tee. #blackandwhite #monochromemonday #photographer #artshare

Classic Betty Page style with the incomparable Pinky. lifestyle #inspiration #art #editorial #photoshoot #photographer #modeling #highfashion #fashion #photography #lingerie #boudior #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦 #artshare

Very cool heels! A perfect way to hold shoes when drinking liquor from them. Really interesting origin story here: medium.com/the-practica...

Beautiful art needs intention! A good looking person, isn't enough. Natalia looks great without my help, but contrasting her soft curves with sharp edges & posing her so that every line in the frame leads your eye to her, makes my photo beautiful too. Like it? #artshare #photographer #fitness

I liked how this pic came out. She (the model) thought my edit was too heavy-handed. I thought her refusal to give me credit when she posted it, was impolite. So we never worked together again.

Here's Heather exuding grace, confidence, and style for #monochromeMonday She makes it look effortless too! #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Playing with scale is fun! My pic of these rocks doesn't look super impressive, until you see the size of the climber on them in Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas. #SeeTheWorldSunday #travelpics #photographer #artshare #picoftheday

I had no idea that #ChapeauπŸ‘’ was a thing even though I love hats. I have so many pics with hats in them, including this one featuring Haley. #boudoir #photographer #artshare #portrait

This photo feels whimsical to me. Some of the lighting effects are in camera, and others were added in the edit. The expression on @cassycyanide.bsky.social face fits the mood perfectly. What do you think? #photography #artshare #portrait #photographer #boudoir

I don't shoot many negative space pics, but here's one from two years ago. This was a slackline performer at a random event. I really love the intensity on her face and the way the line cuts through the frame. What do you think? #artshare #photographer #portraits

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

Random pic from my back yard with @cassycyanide.bsky.social and I really enjoy how the colors came out. #photography #artshare #portrait #boudoir #photographer

....and now for something completely different; When I'm not shooting or editing pics, I play PC games. In this space sim, you don't survive long in space without a suit, but I chanced it to grab this epic photo! What do you think? #starcitizen #videogames #artshare

Here's Lizzie, trying to pull off the "Little Mermaid" hair flip during our pool shoot. I'm reminded of that rave scene in the second Matrix movie. #bikini #photographer #artshare #summer

Hope y'all had fun binge drinking to celebrate our foreign ally today. I didn't feel much like celebrating (can't imagine why). Regardless, I'm holding out hope that the snakes can be driven out of places they don't belong, like old Saint Patrick intended, some time soon. #freeukraine #ukrainestrong

Here's Alexandria for #monochromemonday What story does this photo tell? #blackandwhite #lifestyle #inspiration #art #blackandwhitephotography #editorial #photoshoot #photographer #modeling #monochrome #highfashion #fashion #photography #lingerie #boudior #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Absolutely beautiful!

When I was editing this pic from an outdoor tub shoot, I thought it looked better with the tub almost completely cropped out. Does it look weird? Or can you still tell she's getting into a tub? I need your feedback. #portrait #photographer #artshare

We had a blast creating this shot with @deadlynikkidoll.bsky.social even though she didn't consider herself a strong swimmer. #underwaterphotography #boudoir #artshare #bikini

Fun fact: This model was singing Trump's praises last year. I know, not surprising with the Statue of Liberty holding a rifle and "We the People" tattooed on her leg. Wonder how she feels, now that he's arresting people for speaking publicly? #artshare #fucktrump #photographer

Now that Daylight Savings Time has started, I'm daydreaming about warmer weather. #bikini #photographer #artshare #NSFW

Oh dear, Elon Musk learned how they do protests in France.

Here's one of my customer's favorite shots from his #cosplay session in PA. We planned the shoot in an arcade where comic characters really come to life. Reply or repost if you'd like to see more of these kinds of shots. #artshare #cosplayphotography

Apparently there's some rumblings on the darkweb that the doge people are installing backdoors for putin in all the federal computer systems. You didn't hear it from me though.

Quite happy with the progress I've made over the past year...

Here's the ever-dramatic, always delightful Jenna. She thinks #blackandwhite photos look more classy. I like how they minimize distractions. What do you think? #monochromemonday #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Wow! Beautiful photo and a bit intimidating that this was one of your first nude shoots. Great work! #monochromemonday

Happy #monochromemonday to all who celebrate! This is @cassycyanide.bsky.social with whom I hope to work again soon, the next time either of us crosses the country. #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦 #artshare

This photo looks how I feel. @scarletfevers.bsky.social always brings the creativity and dramatic range.

One of the rare times I used a matte look in the edit. Not bad?
