J Love and PGNubian

J Love's goal is to create images that showcase beauty and creativity. It was that simple and he always had an eye for energetic, creative and talented models. With a background in fashion and love for creating images that portray an inner story he loves any opportunity to take his captures to another level.

He's an artistic explorer and,for a moment, PGNubian was his muse. She was a naptual beauty full of life and originality and vision. The two of them together made a few poignant, colorful and powerful captures as I am sure you will agree.

Both talented individuals are visionary in their efforts with aesthetic philosophies driving their creative endeavors. You can see more J Loves works here and PGNubian's here.

Susannah Marie

Susannah Marie has a message for those she seeks to inspire...

I'm a Muse; playful, sensual and lots of energy. There's a fine line between sensual and sexual but nevertheless it is distinct. I apply movement to my poses, graceful moves, I move slowly enough for you to tell me when to stop and I'll hold the pose.

My body is sculpted and expressive so bring lots of film, photo cards or whatever it is that you use. I have some music to bring with me, if you have some then shoot for slow classical (piano concertos - Chopin) ambient music/world music/tribal music such as; enigma, delirium, cirque du soliel etc.

Please feel free to see more of Susannah's fantastic work here and here. Believe me when I say she is phenomenal when it comes to pushing the creative envelope. The images here barely scratch the surface. Hopefully she will be involved in the Garden more intensely in the near future.

the artist and model and silhouette...

"The Artist is Michael Bennett and the Muse is Anomalia Chin. And this is their magic.


For these images, Michael Bennett wanted to shoot in studio trying a little variation on the silhouettes he'd been doing. He appreciated the sense of sensuality in this set and the soft and subdued quality a lot of the captures have. These images are an innovative compositional mix of Anomalia's hair, overall figure and skin tone. The two of them created some of the most creatively, sensual and passionately glamorous captures in the Garden.




This is just a few of the images and you see more of Michael provocative and artistic explorations on his blog here. And to see Anomalia's modeling portfolio, just go to here .

Behind the scenes with PrettyBlak & Maurice...

A while back, I created an entry where I mentioned that I was impressed by the works of the artist Maurice Evans and his muse PrettyBlak. So impressed that I asked them if they would be interested in participating in the Garden. They said yes and proceeded to create a fabulous collection of images that are works of art in themselves. They will be a part of the launch of the portal slated for later this month. In the meantime check out these images of from behind the scene.

PrettyBlak is a model and you find her here. Check out the works of Maurice here and here.

the inspired works of Gus Bennett, Jr

Gus Bennett, Jr. is a Photographer out of New Orleans. I've always admired his techniques of combining photographic images with archival painted abstracts to create a soulful creatively intimate capture. I am humbled and inspired by his works. Hopefully, he will be a part of the portal. In the meantime, I share these extraordinary works here. To see more of his works you can find them here and here.
