Pouring the Milk Nude

Thumbnail image for Pouring the Milk Nude

We had to test out pouring the milk over her body art. This was interesting because as I said before I didn’t mix the stuff in the pool very thickly. So when she just scooped it up and poured it on herself, it disappeared. Completely transparent like water.
So we mixed up special batches just for [...]

Haven’t mentioned how I lit this shoot. It was amazingly simple.
One light – a 3×3 softbox – on a boom directly above the pool for every image you’ve seen.

Body Art Details Nude

August 13, 2009 Body Art

Alicia again, this time with out the bikini.
When shooting something like a tattoo covered model, you often see details you want to show. In her case it was the star of david tattoos, the interesting hip line, and the beading of the water/milk.

Milk, Tattoos and Blue

Thumbnail image for Milk, Tattoos and Blue

This is one of my favorite images from the shoot because of the three elements I used in the title. I love the color.
When I bought the pool I was a little worried the blue would be a problem. Anytime you introduce a color into an image, you find the image itself is changed [...]

It isn’t really milk, it is some high protein milk substitute I bought a HUGH bucket of at Costco. I thought I’d need a lot of it, but ended up only using about 4 cups for the whole kiddie pool.
Once again the model is Alicia.

Thumbnail image for The Milk Shoot Begins

We started off trying to be worksafe, but most of the images are nude.
I don’t remember exactly where the idea for this shoot came from. Like most awesome ideas I’m sure there was more than one source and they were brought together.
I first heard of Alicia because she applied to be a model for [...]

Two Girls Fine Art Nude

Thumbnail image for Two Girls Fine Art Nude

This is an image I’ve had in my head for a long time. I once saw a nude allegedly of Monica Belliuci’s lower torso where she had her hands crossed over her private area. I’d always thought it would be interesting to shoot a similar shot, but with another person’s hands. This is my expression [...]

On A Fallen Roof – Roxy Vandiver

May 20, 2009 Fine Art

I was driving down near the studio, which is in downtown Houston, and saw this opening in an abandoned building. Looking into the dark interior I realized Hurricane Ike had given me a gift. Part of the building’s roof had collapsed, and there was this great light on that part, paired with the darkness of [...]
