Lady Hephaestus - 2023.

February 27, 2023

While I was scheduling the previous post with Retrofatale, I was made aware that Lady Hephaestus was going to be coming along for both morale support and talent. Of course, I wasn’t going to complain at all.

It was nice to get them back in front of the lens after our debut shoot last year, and in such a short time see what new things we could create together.

I love how open and honest they are with themself (“We can banish this one to the void”) and the process of shooting photos that depending on the audience can be a little bit risqué (I don’t know too many other people who have said the phrase “I guess its time to pull my boobs out […] Blake doesn’t mind, he’s just doing his thing”).

I wish we weren’t so rushed this time around, but I still think we came out the other side with something fun.

And for a little extra uncensored content, get a sneak peek at some soon to be Onlyfans exclusive photos over at my NSFW blog.

Lady H - 2022.

August 13, 2022

Despite running in the same circles for the last who-even-knows-how-many years, this is only the second time I think Lady H and I have spent any time together. Sure we probably have existed in the same place at the same time, maybe even the same room once or twice, but after much trying I am so excite to finally have them in my studio.

We talked Photography, dog attacks, tattoos, and the state of the pay-to-see-your-friends-naked union that is Only Fans; all while also teaching me the secrets to having a gay man give you a bitchin’ harness in the parking lot (hint, it involves being covered in dog-fur and having a moment of personal crisis when asked about it).

Even though we weren’t rushing, it felt like time just flew by and I can’t wait to see what happens the next time we both are in the studio again.

Huge thanks again to Lady H for coming out to the studio today. If you want to keep up with them be sure to scoot on over to Instagram, Twitter, or OF and give them a follow.

If you want to see something a little more spicy, there are a few extra images over on the hidden NSFW blog if you know how to get there.

Titan - 2022.

June 12, 2022

Over a decade ago, before I called Atlanta my home, I was in the city touring various colleges looking at MFA programs to attend. By random happenstance I ended up at a Chuck Palahniuk book signing (or at least I think that was the order of operations anyway) and I met the person who would both become my first friend in Atlanta, and who would eventually be called “Titan”.

Titan is no stranger to this blog. And we are no strangers to working together. However, until today, it’s been FAR too long since that has happened. We last worked together back in 2014 during my “Year of Film”, and for at least the last few years we have both never seemed to be in the same place at the same time. I’m extremely happy that was able to change…and hopefully it won’t be another 6 years before we shoot together again.

Until then, I hope you all enjoy the work we were able to create today.

To see more of Titan, make sure to follow her on Instagram and Twitter (and other fan-based forms of social media).

Nicky - 2022.

January 31, 2022

Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! Thanks for coming back, hopefully, this year will be better than the last. But enough with that–

Nicky and I have followed each other on social media for a while now, but have only ever seen each other in person twice, including this shoot. When we met in person for the first time, the only words that came to mind were “Nice Hat”, before introducing myself as my online handle (since that’s the only way I knew they would identify me).

Being a creative content producer themself, Nicky and I spent a lot of time talking about Photography during our session. They wanted to learn how to be more confident in front of, as well as behind a camera. We both shared stories from “the field” and I think by the end of the shoot we both had learned a little something.

I can’t wait for us to shoot again soon.

State of the Union - June 2016 - Featuring Hada Pixie

June 25, 2016

So the last time I did one of these posts it was back in September of last year. Upon reviewing it I realized that a lot has changed since then. Figured it was about time to go back and catch everyone up on the last few months and give a temperature check on where things are at.

Also, it gives me a good opportunity to share a few photos that I have been sitting on for a couple of weeks now. But first, the update.

Back in January, I moved out of my old apartment, leaving it and my studio space behind. It's been a bit of a challenge trying to find places to work. But due to some help and inspiration from a few different books, I am making things happen. Earlier in the year, I also linked up with a new business partner, who is slowly but surely working her way into the UNEX ecosystem. Soon I hope she will completely take over my booking process and begin writing and contributing her own work here to the Blog. We are making great process to moving onto bigger and better things.

2016 so far has been a busy one. I'm not shooting as much as I was last year with the 52 rolls project, but what I am doing has kept me very busy. Between the day job and my efforts here I am averaging 60+ hour weeks, and as of the time of writing this update I am going on day 50-something with only having had 3.5 "days off" in that time. But don't take this as complaining. I'm very excited for what is to come.

So what have I been working on lately? I tend to have a pretty good track record with keeping everyone in the loop as shoots happen. My friends over at Finite Automata and Ecto Proxy have kept me busy covering concerts, and of course, some of my old favorite models have stepped up and provided me with enough work to keep more than busy. But now I'd like to announce a few shoots that have kinda flown under the radar:

Right now Hada Pixie and I have three photo sets currently active over on Zivity (shameless plug, I always have 30 day free trials available, so email me to get one for yourself) one of which, "Stay Golden" was rated as an Editor's Choice!

Of course, I'm not going to spoil any of our photos from the sets in the blog here (Ahem, did I mention I'm giving away free 30 day trials?), but I'm happy to share a few of my selects that didn't "make the cut".

You may remember the photo below if you follow me on social media.

This was an image that didn't make the cut for our set "In the Sink" and below is a photo from "Stay Golden" that I talked about above.

Look at that golden sunlight? Pretty awesome right? I am kinda happy to admit that this shot was taken at like 4:00 in the afternoon, with sunset nowhere in sight. I've been growing so much in between shoots. Fully committing to my 2016 goal of "Learn More".

Pixie and I still have a few shoots we are holding in reserve, but I am able to give another sneak peek. During the same shooting day, we decided to document some custom latex work from Queen's Arrow Latex. These photos haven't yet been released into the wild, and more shall be forthcoming. Also, keep your eyes open for some more collaboration with Queen's Arrow coming soon (maybe? probably? call me!)..

So that's it for now. As always thanks for checking in and keeping up on what I've been doing. If you want to book a shoot of your own make sure to drop me an email from my contact page and let's talk about making something happen!
