Sun Goddess

On a sunny Georgia day; I had another wonderful shoot with Nadine. Her skin glistens so beautifully in the sun, it's as if she was made from it.














Check out some of my paintings on my website and some more photography here.

Nightly's Colour...

I had a moment.

It was around the time at the end of session with a model that I'd shot in my HomeStudio. I knew we were done, she needed the images for an online community she was involved in and we had plenty...

We took a few more shots. They were a little racy and I was very interested in the play of bright colour on dark skin. They ended up not being used in the set. I think they look beautiful here. Do you?

The MUSE at the Lounge...

Monday night at the Apache Cafe and Lounge. Sunset is the MUSE.

This a series of candid pictorial moments between the MUSE and the ARTISTS...

Just cool...

passionate self-portraits by xxmisa

Impressively creative explorations in self-portraiture are only one of the reasons I was impressed by the works of this young photography enthusiast. When you see XXMISA's works, you see the chronicles of a talent on the road of discovery. Her artistic approaches to composition and post processing will leave you entertained and inspired. And I find her subjects to be insightful and potentially provocative. She's doing great work now; I look forward to watching her grow. And when you see more of works here, you will see that these images are just the tip of the iceberg.

A Darker Side of the Garden...

It was an exploration for me.

A curiosity if you will.

I wanted to do a set of captures from a darker perspective. Something bleak and struggling. Not necessarily beautiful but still emotional and passionate. Captures that were intense and, hopefully, told a story.

What struck me more was that Sista Khadeshia was down for this, somewhat radical, idea on my part. She pulls out the make-up and the wardrobe and we did the damn thing.

A damsel in distress.

Check it out. Do you follow it? Is it too harsh or unflattering? Or do you really get the point? Let me know what you think.
