Before & After.

Percolate

A close up and a pan out. There is often more to something than meets the eye. Sometimes a lot more...

Miera

An older image, which is why she is missing quite a few tattoos...

Percolate & Autumn

Ninja-Hump: When one comes up behind someone and clandestinely humps them for a short period of time, and disappears before the humpee knows what has happened... Like a ninja.

Adrian Louise

Two heads are better than one.

PXE

Breaking in a new strap-on.

Jade Vixen

I was tempted to Photoshop the armpit, but I resisted. Even after all these years, I'm still trying to figure out what should be left in and what should be touched-up.

Lyndsay

Twister. Yeah, the twister comes, here comes the twister...

Maggie

She comes from a land down under... where women glow and men plunder.

Sofia & Cammy

One of my favorite 'tricks' are nudes that I can shape, contort, bend and light into abstract shapes. I love it when the viewer's eye must explore the shapes, highlights, and shadows... and barely notice the nudity. Nudity is just the canvas, secondary to the composition and impact of the photograph. I want the eye to dance around the image, exploring the tonalities and elegant lines of the image. Making the image B&W get's rid of the flesh tone, and completes the transformation...

Izzy

Rope bra, a bit tight.

Mië

I am Doll eyes, Doll mouth, Doll legs, I am Doll arms...

Lady Lazarus

As Clarence says, "Just use your hands!".

Meira

Night vision.

Sally

Rope bondage dress.

Summer

Summer in the winter, cold indeed.

Heff

All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Meira

She's got a leg, and she knows how to use it. Seriously, though– I really dig the unusualness of this shot.

Aisha

Winter is coming.

Sally

Yet more shower shots.

Katie Marie

Wonderfully gritty, with raw emotion. What I've been aiming for lately.

Devon

This is an out-take from a large body of work based on a type of body painting. I have only put a very select few images from this series' of work on the internet (mostly out-takes), for personal reasons. I mainly think that it is a rather original series', and I fear it will just be poorly imitated. I don't really feel this way about anything that I post on this blog. There are so many b&w nudes, erotic or otherwise, on the web, that it's hard enough to stand out– being imitated isn't so much of a concern.

Percolate

Percolate is Jade Vixen's sister. Percolate and Jade couldn't be more different than each other in real life– ironically they often look remarkably similar in my images of them. That probably has more to do with the fact that I like to create personas in my images- many of the people that I photograph are often portrayed as more of a reflection of myself than themselves. Most people that I photograph are typically a little taken aback when they see my images of themselves (in a good way)– even though they were there for the shoot! They simply are not used to looking at themselves in the way that I portray them. My images are an illusion rather than a mirror. I've photographed Percolate many times, and I typically have created glamorous pictures involving elaborate makeup with her- because she's actually very laid back and doesn't really wear makeup. These images are a little closer to her actual personality, but they are still definitely a persona...

Jade Vixen

Jade Vixen is a very well known fetish model, who is also an old and dear friend. Some of my most memorable images were created with her, although they have usually been fashion or vintage looking images rather than raw and erotic. There are several good reasons for this, despite that she has a very edgy and uninhibited persona. For one thing, she typically tends to be in control and dominant (or wants to portray that in her images), whereas my erotic images tend to portray a submissive with some wild abandon. She also has an exquisite collection of latex and vintage clothes- so we've usually gravitated towards showing them off.

Little One

Little One is a powerhouse in a very petite package, although she is extremely quiet. We rarely say much when shooting, but she is definitely quite the muse. Like Tanya Dakin, she has worked with so many photographers, and everyone gets something a little different from her. It's easy to get a very glamourous image out of her, despite the fact that she is half the size of a supermodel. I prefer to try and extract the soulful facial expressions that are just waiting to be tapped into.

Kellie

Kellie is a friend of Jade Vixen, and Jade brought her by when they were traveling together. Kellie is pretty awesome, but honestly, I would be interested in shooting anybody with boots and a corset like this.

PXE

Innocent, yet not so innocent looking...

Ajaye

I've always been fascinated with the idea of creating a large body of work dedicated to just close-ups of O-faces. The idea that of representing something very intimate, yet not really explicit at all, yet at the same time very genuine & erotic is an appealing challenge to me. The range of expressions that one sees in O-faces is compelling as well– everything from serene, to sexy, to even grotesque. It's a psychological smorgasbord!

M & M

It would bore me to be restricted to one genre for my whole life– landscape photography, for example. I could never impose such restrictions upon myself. It's not that I don't have respect for an artist that does just that, such as Mondrian (who actually started out as a landscape painter!), but it is simply not the way that I operate.

Maggie

There is something very Greek statue-like about this. Not typical of most of my work, but I always like when I can produce something a little different.

Maia

This 70's lambs wool deep shag rug has served me well- it was a stock prop for years' at the Chinatown studio. It's been in a storage box for quite a while now, but I decided to bring it out of hibernation. I think that anybody that I shoot with gets inspired just by looking at it.
