That time I convinced my friend Tracy, who thinks she isn't photogenic, to come do a shoot with me at the park. What do you think? #portrait #photographer #artshare?

Add a little #kink to your life! Here's the awesome @deadlynikkidoll.bsky.social from our last photoshoot. #boudoir #lingerie #photographer #NSFW

How cute is this!

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

How do you all feel about video game photography? Here's a selfie of a selfie I took in Night City! Let me know if you want to see more like this... #videogames #photographer #artshare #cyberpunk #screenshots

Here's Liza, an aerial performer. I thought it would be cool to photographer her from above, since most people would never see that angle. How did I do? #portrait #photographer #artshare #photoshoot

A classic glamour portrait I took of a beauty school student. Name unknown, but her haunting gaze is perfect for today's #monochromemonday post. Enjoy! #photographer #portrait #artshare #classicbeauty

Sometimes I also have photoshoots with men! Here's Daniel borrowing my shirt and hat for his take on "Urban Cowboy" for #monochromemonday shot in NYC. #photographer #fashionshoot #blackandwhite #artshare

You have the right to remain... I don't know... I was going to make a cop joke, but I've got nothing. Here's a lovely pic I took. #boudoir #NSFW #altspace 🫦 πŸ”ž #artshare

Here's a long exposure shot of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC I took about a year ago. I love how the colors came out, and the street traffic sort of underlines the majesty of the icon building. #artshare #photographer #travelpics

This gloomy, rainy Sunday, needs a pick-me-up. So here's my shot of the fabulous @julyhigh.bsky.social captured at her wonderful birthday Pool Party shoot in July! #biniki #boudoir #summer #artshare #photographer #portraits

Here's a steamy shot of Jenna for your Saturday evening. This shoot helped me learn to embrace chaos and appreciate elements out of my control. Like all the little droplets. #boudoir #photographer #artshare

Here's a classic Betty Paige look with Pinky. Happy Friday! #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦 #artshare #art

Up way too late reflecting on the twists & turns life keeps throwing at me. So here's a pensive self-portrait I shot while staying in a castle in Tuscany two years ago. #blackandwhite #selfportrait #photographer #artshare

So cool! We definitely need more, "Hold my wig. I need to destroy some nazis." energy right now!

This pic of my good friend Jill, feels like I captured a natural moment in time. In reality, it needed help from lighting and editing to get this look. How did I do? #portrait #photographer #artshare #outdoor #sunset

Here's Jayne in her, "You ain't never had a nurse like me!" era. #boudoir #cosplay #fetish #roleplay #NSFW #lingerie #artshare

I love this! Let's make sure we're prepared to keep ai at bay, if we need to.

I often frame tightly to focus attention on my subject. Here, I shot wider with Latoya thinking the green around her does the same thing. What do you think? #photographer #art #fashionshoot

Raise your hand if you're a photographer who has made one of these types of composites to practice editing. #artshare #portrait #photoshop #photographer

Recent client from a #boudoir shoot. She struggles with self-doubt as do most of us, so taking control of her narrative and embracing her femininity provided a wonderful confidence boost as well as resulting in some cool shots. Message me if you'd like to setup a shoot of your own.

Today's #monochromemonday pic feature the amazing Alexandria tells a story. Please quote and reply with what you think that story is. #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦 #artshare #art #blackandwhite

I imagine this might be found inside the charred helmet of a fallen soldier. The cursive on its back says, "I'll wait for you." Model: @inarastarr.bsky.social #artshare #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Roast my photo! I shot & edited this pic several years back with my friend Jenna posing. I think my art has improved since then, but I'd love to get some honest feedback on what you think could have been better with this shot. You won't hurt my feelings. Let me have it! #roastme #photographer

So proud of the brave people of Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ for standing strong against tyranny. Let these numbers inspire the world. An underdog with conviction is a dangerous thing!

My favorite part of the day is washing my stimulants down with an energy drink. πŸ™ƒπŸ«¨πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! May the Year of the Snake bring good health, joy, and prosperity into your life.

Keeping with today's #fetish vibe, here's my attempt at Rembrandt Lighting with the lovely @deadlynikkidoll.bsky.social sporting some BDSM gear. Looking forward to working with her again soon! #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Here's a cuddle puddle to start your Tuesday off! #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Can we call this brave American "Gor the Clod Butcher" for standing up to Drumph? #resist #blueresistance #fightthegoodfight

Kicking off #monochromemonday with my melancholy portrait of the always inspiring @cassycyanide.bsky.social share if you're a fan, and let me know your thoughts on what you'd like to see more of from my feed. #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

I've been holding out on you folks for a few days, but that ends now. Here's a fun #cosplay portrait from a #harleyquinn shoot with my good friend Lily Stitches. #bikini #art #artshare #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦

Republicans are NOT cowards. They’re win-at-all-cost opportunists with situational ethics that exist to benefit the 1%. They paved the way for Trump who delivers on their dreams of stacking courts with unqualified ideologues, transferring trillions to the top, and rolling back a century of progress.

She's such a good model! Can't wait to work with her again.

Infuriating! We need to gut this voting system and find something better. Spread the word! #Bluecrew

Though trying to avoid the news, I'm still exhausted on day 3 of this nightmare. How are you folks doing?

This is my beautiful and talented wife, who describes herself as, "a nice Karen." I posed her in our orchard to show off one of the awesome sweaters she knitted recently. I'm hoping Karen will get off Zuck's algorithmic hamster wheel of misinformation and join us here soon.

If anyone needs me, I'll be living in this alternate reality for the next 4 years.

These past couple of days I haven't really been feeling very creative. I'll be back with more portraits soon.

Here's an all-time top-tier best deep-cut #cosplay I had the pleasure to capture. The dude serves "Handsome Squidward" masterfully! What's your fave cosplay you've seen or put together?

I love the idea of surviving in the desert due to my pre-planning & radical self reliance, dancing on the playa, discovering art, & helping people have amazing experiences.

Beautiful image! Technical issues like bad focus, editing, or framing can instantly turn me off. Also, distractions that catch my eye more than the subject.

Wrapping up the week with some #shibari featuring the amazing @scarletfevers.bsky.social #kink #bondage #fetish #lingerie #boudoir #photographer #NSFW πŸ”ž #altspace 🫦
