Divya is hilarious to work with. The photos don’t show it, but she is a dork. She’s also incredibly intelligent, sexy, and funny. She was in the neighborhood and asked me for an impromptu shoot. She brought the talented MUA Cabrielle Brooks and hair stylist Kia Floss. We only had enough time to do a couple of looks, but that didn’t stop us. The last time we shot we only had a couple of hours and managed to pull off 3 looks that ended up looking pretty fucking cool.

See? I can shoot people with their clothes on.

Taken earlier today. I’ve never taken a photo then turned around and uploaded it right away. For some reason I’ve always felt that a good idea, or a great vision for an image has to simmer in the back recesses of your creative third eye to full mature into art.

Then I realized I was just procrastinating. Bebe S. Bellamont is hanging out with me this weekend to model, be cool, and make art. She wanted to see how I retouched, and like a magician I was reluctant to show my tricks. The next thing I knew I had a glass of wine in my hand, and I somehow finished the shot above. Tomorrow we’re going to be shooting with the lovely Fela Fray.

I was recently invited to join a new photographic art group called The Obscura. I’ve been invited to other groups in the past, but usually the group’s activity dies almost as quickly as it started. This is the first one where there were other highly skilled photographers that I respect and like were part of the contribution team.

If you never seen work from artists like Kencredible, Chad Michael Ward, Serena Star, Stuntkid, Destroy Inc., and a ton more then I highly suggest you visit The Obscura. Some of the photographer/artists on The Obscura inspired me to experiment and shoot the subjects I do. If you find my work decent, you will definitely love the quality of art that they can produce almost daily.

A note of caution (which I realize is kind of stupid since you’re reading my site): Most of the work posted is adult/mature material, but there is also several pieces of high quality work that aren’t nude/adult oriented. So don’t visit the site while around people who can get you fired.

If you are tired of my lack of an update schedule, then the 10-12 of you who visit my site once a week (Google Analytics is so useful, yet so depressing) will enjoy The Obscura. So in addition to updating my this site, Model Mayhem, deviantArt, Facebook, et cetera, I will also be updating my work on The Obscura.
