More Nudes in Nature

In my last post I promised some more of the ‘Nudes in Nature’ that Ben, Callie and I created in Utah. As I worked through the 5 days of shooting, I got a new respect for these two amazing models – especially as I noticed the scrapes and bruises accumulating every day. To put the cherry on top, the last day I asked poor, bruised Ben to go and roll around on the salt flats… imagine!



Coming up
On Saturday I have done the most amazing shoot with Tantila & Diablo from Indianapolis and I have another underwater shoot scheduled with them for this coming Saturday. I am just thrilled with the work we created and will be sharing shortly.

On the Easel

At the moment I am working on quite a number of new works aimed at my two upcoming exhibitions in London. Though I was planning on photographing all my new works next week, I decided to share the piece I am working on right at this moment. This is another piece of Artemis – a pose that gripped me and I just could not leave unpainted.


At the same time I am also working hard on completing the editing of my Utah photos (working through 3919 photos is quite a challenge!) So stay tuned for more ‘Nudes in Nature’ shortly.

Teamwork

Today I am sharing a photo, a young model from Dayton, Ohio who calls herself ‘Italian Kitten’, and I created a while ago.

This was an event I will not soon forget. It was a photo shoot combined with a group figure drawing session. She accidentally went to the figure drawing location first and when I offered to give her directions to my studio, she said ‘hang on, let me give the phone to my mom’.

'Mom?' In the few years I’ve done fine art photography, I’ve had friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and even pets present, but never a mom before. When I opened the door, in walked the model and not only her mother but also her father.

What an amazing team they turned out to be. Her father was a pro in holding and aiming my reflectors while her mother was hair stylist and makeup artist. A team I can definitely recommend!
