Jasmine & Gold!
Wow! The Goldfield Mtn Wilderness and Jasmine's skin tone! Enough said :)We can't wait to share the set we are putting together of her. Sooo gooood!Happy Friday!
Sneak Peak!
We had a great shoot with Jasmine (IG: @jasminesienna, Twitter: @jasminesienna_ ) yesterday!Stay tuned 🙂
Blinding Lights....
Artful photography is all about light, wouldn't you say?
Happy Friday!
speaks for itself :)
Very superstitious!!!
Lani was our first shoot in months, but also the last of 2020!!! We captured some excellent images in the Superstition Wilderness. She is so easy to work with. It was a very positive way for The Naked Desert to close out the year :)
Lani & the saguaro
We were lucky enough to be one of her last shoots before her soon-to-be glowing pregnancy :)We have dibs on her maternity shoot.Full set coming for the upper tiers very soon!
January Polaroid
The January Polaroid just went out to all of our Senita Tier Patrons who have chosen to receive it. We also threw in a New Year's bonus :)May 2021 be prosperous for all of us!
Palm Spring Polaroids....
We love Polaroids!
Boomerang....
Well, after the disastrous camera drop put a damper our New Year Air BnB, content creation plans, we had to make do with what we had. We were certainly depressed for a while, but decided to have try to have our fun anyway.
Disaster!
Our brand new Fuji XT3 took a 2 foot drop off of a couch with a 90mm rental lens. Not sure if the lens is damaged, but the drop did cause the lens mount to shear off.... What a start to 2021.... Shit!
Thomas Holm Face Time Shoot
One thing Elle and I are especially stoked on is that she has worked with two giant icons in the industry: James Felix (@jamesfelixraw) and Thomas Holm (@thomasholmphoto). I've been planning on taking Thomas Holm's 4-day workshop at the Palm Springs Photography Festival, but you know, the Covid Pandemic happened, and who knows when he'll be able to get back into the States....In order to keep his business somewhat running he scheduled...
You remember that game?
Chutes & Ladders. Us too :)
Here's looking at 2021!
We won't say much about 2020. We are not really into the sappy, reflective posts. Plus, you were all there (and hopefully came out of it relatively unscathed).We will mention that Elle caught the 'rona. She had body aches and a slight fever for 4 days, and that was about the extent of it. Now, she's on vacation until she gets two negative tests in a row. Our oldest daughter is asymptomatic positive and continues to skateboard everyday...
We love outdoor showers!
That amenity is usually the clincher when selecting Air BnBs! Though our next Air Bnb won't have one, we are excited for what we have planned for that shoot: Jan 1-3 :) Stay tuned! And, stay healthy!
Adventures with Liz Blaze
Liz Blaze (IG: @lizzieblaze_) is a prolific and local Adventure Nude model we had the opportunity to work with at Saguaro Lake. She absolutely wanted some saguaros in the shots!
Rebekah
From the archives....We've had more than one request to feature more of Rebekah. She was the third TND Model collab we shot nearly 2 years ago. Maybe it's time to call her up for another shoot.
Rise up with Crissa!
BTS with Crissa at the Salt River :)
Daniele Watts in Sedona
From the archives (summer 2019).A true Patreon Exclusive! Daniele Watts shared some screen time with Leonardo DiCaprio in the film Django Unchained. She was the French maid.
How's your Saturday going?
A backyard double-nude for our Saguaro and Senita Patrons :)
Crissa & Elle
Some Polaroids we thought you're all enjoy :)
Moon Child
Quite frankly some of our best model work is created with Lani ( @_.moon_.child._ on IG).Wouldn't you say so?
How about a video for you all to start off December?
2020 is almost over. We hope you found not only ways to survive, but also thrive. Just like everyone else, this year (starting in March, really) had its ups and downs for us. But we are still in good health, still employed, models still want us to take their nudes, and I still enjoy getting Elle naked in front of the camera!We are looking forward to big things for 2021!
Garden of Delights
For our Senita and Sonoran Patrons only....
Lani
Lani (@_.moon_.child._ on IG) is an extremely talented and very, very sweet nude art model we had the honor of working with a few months ago at the Clothing Optional Air BnB. After seeing what we could create together, she made us promise an actual Naked Desert shoot. FYI that shoot is locked and loaded for very soon! We can't wait!
I think you all might like this video :)
We are listening. Video is new for us. So most of what we record has been iPhone video meant to be shown as teasers or previews on IG Stories. OTOH we have gotten some feedback (and some admonishment ;) to step up our video content. Still working with iPhones, but now have a DJI Osmo gimbal. Also, recently purchased another camera body (Fuji XT3), We'll need to send our first camera body (Fuji XT2) in for some factory service, but once we get...
