Ronni N4BW

Here's a black and white conversion series of Ronni from the Normandy trip. You can compare this gallery with a couple of her previous color sets to see what the original images look like. With all the options now available in Photoshop, it's almost too easy to adjust both color and BW image files - the possibilities are nearly endless - but the monotone conversions are still my favorites to play around with.

Ronni N4A

Today the first of two additional sets of Ronni in the Normandy garden, playfully stripping out of her monk's robe. This one is the natural color version, and later today we'll have a similar series in a black and white conversion.

Carol P4B

Here's another treat for those members who enjoy our enhanced closeups, starring the infamous Carol, showing off her complete array of charms in vivid technicolor pink!

Amber C2J

Today, some more seriously sexy shots of fire haired Amber from the Oakland sessions.

Lilly 03C

Long tall Lilly is back with some very sexy shots from the Paris studio of guest artist Didier Carre. Enjoy this quite explicit series of this gorgeous Euro fashion model, in poses you won't see on any haute couture runway...

Alice C11D

Today, more of lovely Alice Antoinette in the all-white cyclorama at the San Leandro studio.

Demi P2D

Today we have the very satisfying finish to Demi's strip-tease by the Prague apartment window, as she turns her back to the camera, allowing some very intimate enhanced closeup views for our posteriority fans.

Carmen P1B

Some members were very interested in seeing more of Carmen, specifically some of our enhanced close-ups, so here's a quick update on that topic..

Kitty Regina P2B

Kitty and Regina are back with a series devoted to one cute little butt and some probing fingers. And Kitty seems eager for a taste..

Carmen P1A

Carmen is back, following her first solo vid clip, in this sexy strip tease from one of the Prague apartment bedrooms. We'll have the more explicit shots from this session coming up shortly.

Amber 011109B

Amber, by GL, installment #2: Today, something a bit different: recently I received a letter from a former student, along with a 2gb flash drive full of image files. Since he wishes to remain anonymous, we'll call him "GL" The files are all original shots, done by GL during a series of photo workshops I gave a while back, featuring our favorite redhead, Amber. Long story short: GL is dying, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and he is putting his life in order, so to speak. One of his final wishes is to donate all his Amber files back to me, to do with what I feel is best. So herewith we begin our Guest Artist series of GL photos - posted exactly as he shot them, without cropping or retouching. Note: some of these photos will appear to duplicate shots I have posted, which is quite normal since all workshop students, and myself, were shooting the same models in the same settings. More from the GL image catalog coming up shortly...

Simi P1E

Today we close this series with Simi, photographed in an Ikea closet inside the Prague apartment using standard fluorescent lights. Again, for the photographers on the site, I would avoid this lighting setup, as it results in constant fluctuations in color and intensity that are invisible to the eye but will definitely complicate the processing of the digital camera files. The good news is, Simi still looks great, and we have more with her coming up shortly.

Katrin P1D

So I was shooting some nice portraits of Katrin in the Prague apartment when I noticed she was not wearing any pants. I decided it might be interesting to get some portraits from the other side of the bed. Sure enough, it turned out to be extremely interesting to shoot from that angle...

Odette C21

Here's another new series with Odette striking some fashion-model poses against the concrete wall of the San Leandro studio. Photographers out there may be able to discern that I'm playing with some new Photoshop tools, such as "lens blur" for some backgrounds and "content-aware fill" to extend certain photos beyond the original frame - both truly fantastic magical abilities that seem like science fiction to someone raised in a fume filled darkroom.

Nikita H P2G

Today we conclude Nikita's sessions in the sunny penthouse bedroom of the Prague apartment with some rear-view studies, some adventures in posteriority, some views from the back side..in other words, some butt shots. Enjoy...

Demi P2C

Demi returns today, in our continuing efforts to get her to finish undressing, in this softly lit corner of the Prague apartment.

Amber 011109A

Today, something a bit different: recently I received a letter from a former student, along with a 2gb flash drive full of image files. Since he wishes to remain anonymous, we'll call him "GL" The files are all original shots, done by GL during a series of photo workshops I gave a while back, featuring our favorite redhead, Amber. Long story short: GL is dying, diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and he is putting his life in order, so to speak. One of his final wishes is to donate all his Amber files back to me, to do with what I feel is best. So herewith we begin our Guest Artist series of GL photos - posted exactly as he shot them, without cropping or retouching. Note: some of these photos will appear to duplicate shots I have posted, which is quite normal since all workshop students, and myself, were shooting the same models in the same settings. More from the GL image catalog coming up shortly...

Jenni P5B

Today, more topless portraits of lovely Jenni from Prague.

Carol P4A

After a long absence, Carol returns today with her massive talents.

Amber C2G

Amber demonstrates the solo reverse cowgirl. Let's take a ride!

Ronni N3B

Here's a quick follow-up to Ronni's sunny green grass photos - this time with a few more sexy shots. We were able to achieve some nice effects in a difficult lighting situation (bright, overhead sun with dark shadows) using the Photoshop HDR (High Dynamic Range) adjustments. This also results in the deep golden tan tones of her skin and extra details in her dark hair.

Ronni N3A

After struggling to keep Ronni in focus as she walked toward the camera during the past couple sessions, I asked her to simply lay down on the lawn and remain completely still, which she happily did - it was sunny and warm, and she was almost asleep at times. This series is not explicit, but does contain some very artistic and painterly images, with the bold green grass surrounding her tan body. There are also some nice portraits demonstrating what a hidden beauty she really is.

Suzie Carina P1X

Here's the fascinating and educational conclusion to our first session with infamous Czech beauty Suzie Carina. Although it appears to be AI or special effects, the glowing multi-colored glass orb she's playing with was simply amplifying the effects of our strobe lights plus her innermost secrets. I shot quite a few variations of this scenario, since the colors were shifting with each minor movement of her hands and body. We'll have more Suzie coming up shortly.

Katrin P1C

There's something about long, tanned, bare legs.. right?

Simi P1D

Here's more of our experimental fluorescent lighting session with voluptuous beauty Simi, seated inside an Ikea cabinet. Again, my warning to photographers out there, do not use off-the-shelf fluorescent tubes as your light source for beauty or fashion shots - you will have massive headaches from trying to process the image files.

Demi P2B

Today, a few more portrait shots of Demi, in the soft light of the Prague apartment windows. This will lead into some very sexy shots coming up shortly, so stay tuned... (Note: why is she not smiling? My fault, I asked her not to smile, so she looks a bit glum, but she's actually a very happy girl!)
