Launch Post

October 14, 2015 in Site News

This is my blog. It will be scintillating, riveting, scandalous, and (at times) thought-provoking. But it isn't yet. Yet. Stay tuned!

What pleases me most about this #throwback, is its complimentary colors. Lucas had spotted the grasses on a drive into Portland, earmarking them for future use. But I had only his vague description of what we would find, and he had no idea what I’d prepared for wardrobe. (Give me a break: this was early stages @mkulischphoto. I had no idea how to plan a shoot yet.) We got lucky. As sometimes happens. Color accents worked. Hair suggested tones in the grass. Blue jeans and white shirts provided an visually-consistent contrast. Still so happy with this. • You can also find me on Patreon. @patreon is a platform that allows fans to become monthly subscribers, to support artists in their project and $$$ goals, and to receive a bit of exclusive content in return.

More and more, I greatly enjoy putting a model into a uniform landscape. Swaths of sand, long lakes, red dirt and rock, asphalt, these grasses: it heals our perception for a moment and simplifies the world. But uniform landscapes do not leave the model alone, either. Rather, we get to make sense of them within this landscape. And I feel that mental exercise worthwhile and continually interesting.

Big beautiful messes of grassland with big beautiful messes of dirty-blonde curls. All courtesy of Lucas, who delivered me, him, and his beautiful curls to the location outside Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland, OR. Coincidentally, this is the only shoot where my @topman parka truly worked.

One of the final shots of the day, last summer, in the @fdphotostudio Art location. Jarid (@seraphs_) and I had only worked together once before then, he bringing a whole lot more bravery and comfort into this shoot. By this time, given all the light streaming into the space, we were both a little hot and sweaty—which gave Jarid the most wonderful glow against the white of his wings and drape. • You can also find me on Patreon. @patreon is a platform that allows fans to become monthly subscribers, to support artists in their project and $$$ goals, and to receive a bit of exclusive content in return.

Another #throwback from my summer studio session with Jarid (@seraphs_) last year, sporting tight denims and sailor’s caps. The windows in this place are amazing and huge! And @fdphotostudio knows how to curate a space with just enough personality to not overtake. We felt right at home. • You can also find me on Patreon. @patreon is a platform that allows fans to become monthly subscribers, to support artists in their project and $$$ goals, and to receive a bit of exclusive content in return.
