Still working that Corrugated Tin Backdrop....
What can be done on a stool, we inquired.... Still working the Off Camera Flash. We found the Magsphere diffuser is a perfect solution to big, soft boxes in bad weather. Also serves our needs out on desert locations efficiently and effectively. Honestly, we were natural-light shooters up until recently. Now, we can't imagine not having OCF.
That corrugated tin back drop....
BTS video of a content shoot at an Air BnB in Tucson. You'll be seeing some of the images very soon :)
I want to run....
I want to run through the Painted Desert!orI want to run through The Naked Desert!(But, sung to the tune of Stone Temple Pilot's "Wicked Garden".We do anyway.....Please enjoy Elle absolutely loving her naked time in our favorite Arizona national park.Which one is your favorite?
Classic Naked Desert
If you have been following us for a while now, on Instagram and especially from our Tumblr days, then you know this is a classic Naked Desert image. We take one every time we pass through Petrified Forest National Park. We are certain no one else has this shot!You should see the full set we're posting for our Saguaro and above tiers!
Elle a la carte!
Some thing a little racier for our top tier Patrons! Not sure if you've noticed, but we've started using Off Camera Flash as a fill and to add some highlights and separation to the subject. We are happy with the results!Right now we're working with one light (A Godox AD200 pro if anyone is interested), and it's opened a lot more options and creativity. We think we should learn full studio lighting set ups eventually/soon. But for ...
Happy Monday!
How about a couple of shots of Lani in a spot we like to call The Secret Garden located in the coolest Clothing Optional BnB around?
Pose & Snap Shots
Sometimes for "date night" we practice shooting to see what ideas may come. No matter what, we always learn something whether it is a new angle, a lighting/flash situation, or Elle finds a pose to be "used later in the desert" etc....Or, we just end up enjoying her being her naked, sensual self. These are never boring dates ;)
Lexxi
You might remember we shot with Lexxi a while back. She had been wanting to shoot with us for a while, and we were finally able to connect. It was her first outdoor shoot, and she was amazed with our favorite overlook of Canyon Lake. Seemingly when models are in environments that they feel are beautiful, it seems to translate well to how comfortable they feel posing nude....Though it was an overcast day we really like how the tones came out! And,...
Over the hump!
We'll we missed hump day, so we are over it :)Here's looking toward the weekend. We got some great sets coming your way, just about finished putting them together!
Which do you prefer?
Color or BW?
Saturday Night Edits
Patreon saw it first.
Roof Top Shoot
This was our fourth visit to idyllic Telluride, and this was our favorite rental to date. As you can see it had a roof top deck in the middle of town within 3 blocks and earshot of the Blues Fest. The weather was in the 70s with stunning blue skies and no mosquitoes to speak of ;) And, the sounds and vibes from the main stage helped to set the mood!We are hoping to return again in the summer to attend Telluride's even more famous Blue Grass F...
October!
Here we go! Chilly evenings, fall foliage, and hints of the holidays. Here’s a preview of our rooftop Telluride shoot. We stayed a gorgeous Air BnB just a couple blocks from the Telluride Blue & Brews Festival. We created some super sexy images. And, only one person sitting in his roof top deck saw us. Oops! We think only one anyway….
September 2021...
...is our most successful month so far on Patreon. We can't THANK YOU ALL enough for supporting our mission ;)To round out this month, we thought we'd share a stylized BTS video of our shoot in Tucson this past weekend. We had a rather full shoot scheduled planned, but the weather did not cooperate. As soon as we checked in, we were inundated with a torrential, late season monsoon storm that lasted until 9:30 the next morning.We were able...
Sneak Peak….
…for our Cholla Patrons How’s your Sunday going? :)
Camera View
From a Tucson Air BnB….
Woo! Stunner!
Jasmine will agree: These shots are absolutely stunning. I won't say much other than that this was our 2nd time shooting with Jasmine, and she came ready to kill the shoot! Naturally,we are making plans for a third.Until then, we'll just be quiet and let our esteemed Patrons enjoy the view. We hope you appreciate our sentiment :)
Recovered...
We are just about caught up with work and physically recovered from an epic weekend at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. Cool thing about Telluride is the amount of trails with waterfalls one can access directly from town. So obviously, we put a waterfall shoot on the agenda. However, since access is so convenient, we could not get enough time alone for Elle to get naked. Fortunately, we found a lesser visited fall. BUT, the water was painful...
Checking in…
…from Telluride, Colorado
Sun Basking Elle.
Would you believe we were swarmed with mosquitoes during this photo shoot? Well it didn't deter Elle from moving her body into these wonderful poses!
More Naked In Utah!
Clearing up some memory on my phone before we travel to Telluride, CO, this weekend. Also, playing around with the Prequel App some more.Here's some more BTS of our time shooting in Page, AZ, and in and around the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Not only is the landscape and geologic feature surreal and other worldly, we are guaranteed pretty dramatic weather.
Jasmine is back!
We had another opportunity to shoot with Jasmine Sierra a couple weeks ago (as you may have noticed lately). Luckily for us we had some time booked out at our friend's house. A beautiful back yard in central PHX set the scene for Jasmine to come in and create some bangers. I believe these images speak for themselves. What do you think?
TND in Utah
Here's a BTS video of Elle doing what she does best at one of our favorite spots in Southern Utah. Besides the surreal landscape dressed in Kayenta Red, we are sure to get interesting weather that adds some interest and tension to our compositions. Certainly we hope for an explosive sunset, but windy, stormy weather adds a lot of action. Also this video gives you sense of the elements she has to deal with while Naked in the Desert!BTW we play...
Still Naked in the Desert?
For several reasons, we haven't been shooting in our beloved, arid environment. Sometimes it is a matter of choice. Often it s a matter of convenience. Shooting in some of our desert locales will add an extra hour or two to the commute many times. Not to mention there may be a hike involved, and we also have to account for AZ's deadly summer heat. More time and effort complicates a shoot. and we are likely to lose the model. Shooting more...
So good!
We love it when fans make art of our art! Tjis guy is very talented. What do you think?
A study...
...in lights and shapes.We had plans to shoot other compositions at this Air BnB. But, a monsoon storm kept us inside. Luckily for us, the treated concrete and lighting in the dining room looked interesting. We cleared out some furniture, Elle put on the coconut oil, and did what she does best. Some of our most favorite work to date. What do you all think?
Senita Tier Preview
We're almost done putting together this Senita Tier set. Something a little different for us.But, we are quite proud of what we created.We are sure you'll enjoy 'em :)
