In a world overflowing with images that distort our perception of humanity, life-affirming images of the human form are banned rather than honored as something sacred. So we created a museum quality book that celebrates human beauty and nature as one timeless work of art. tinyurl.com/yrv9brbf

@andreaxburns looks like a painting. This image has a Baroque chiaroscuro portraiture vibe (with hints of Caravaggio). Her body forms a classic painter’s triangle with the gaze, hands, and drape pulling you into the gesture. Cameron, if you're reading this post, this light falloff is an example of g

It is always a pleasure to work with Amy She is the consummate professional. She shows up on time ready to go and always delivers an exceptional performance. One of the hardest working Denver area models I know.

A fantastic somewhat impromptu shoot. We were scheduled to shoot with @jonnycreative, but he ended up going to ER this morning. Feel free to send him some love. So we headed to @rawphotographic studios and just played. Someone suggested this set up on the cyc wall and I love the editorial look. This

Behind the scenes from my Creative Exploration Meetup for photographers. We had no real agenda. We just played and tried to put a twist on the ordinary. When Jerry suggested we use gels (those colored pieces of plastic you put over lights to change their color), I said, "Sure! How can we use gels in

I wish I trusted my skills as a photographer as much as @laylaherreramx trusted that jacket would keep her covered. Not one nip slip the whole shoot.

Playing with a rainy day concept in a natural light studio. No rain. Just a spray bottle. These images are from a Meetup I hosted earlier in the spring. If you're interested in attending an event, just DM me and I'll make sure you get notifications.

This is my second time shooting with a horse thanks to my friend @sillvverr506 who invited me to join him. He's been living his dream these past couple summers by shooting regularly with horses. Check him out.
But the horse (Picasso) is really just a prop to showcase the lovely @strawberry_ravecak

The models with the ability to embody a character are the ones who can really take a photograph to another level. Although Nina is relatively young she has a very instinctive . Nina is one who can. She's a bit of a shape shifter. She doesn’t just strike a pose. She slips into a role. Quietly. Fully.

From my bodyscape workshop last week. Normally bodyscapes are dark (low key), but for this one I put Magnolia in front of a large softbox and let the light wrap around her for a high key look. Model: @missmagnoliamuse

One of my favorite bodyscape shots of all time. It took me a while to set up that Z-shape. Thank @latina.star for her patience.
I haven't done bodyscapes in awhile, but I just finished teaching a bodyscape workshop and it got me psyched about them again!
