X marks the spot

Lilith Etch is the X that makes the spot on a treasure map ;)

No, seriously, she adopted this to fit in with the surroundings. It’s quirky, but I like it.

Dixie Venus

This set is from the same day as the post from Aug. 3rd. It’s also from where the ferries were moored while at the port, and seeing the ladders going up, I saw an opportunity to have something Dixie Model could interact with. We shot these in th...

Torso on volcano

When I was in Lanzarote in April, I aimed to produce the footage for Art Nude On Location - Mastering Natural Light.

Wiana and I enjoy shooting more erotic content. Still, I didn’t want to include this in the video: So often, we continued ...

Rainbow dimple

Kylie Le Beau is in a multicolored hole in the ground in Nevada.

We shot these last year during a heatwave. It was so how that even the rocks in the shade were warm to the touch. It’s all-natural light, mostly backlit, as seen in the refle...

Rainbow dimple BTS

One interesting thing you show is some of the challenges when shooting in non-normal circumstances: When using an iPhone (which automatically adjusts white balance and exposure) you can see it's nothing like the real image. Reality is somewhere in...

Two-face

I love shooting with Mynte Model:

She is a self-proclaimed exhibitionist and loves to show off, as you can see o these images.

I always strive to have fun when shooting. It makes the images more interesting or cheeky (pun intended), re...

Bottom Up

This set also features Modeling with Louise, posing on the studio ottoman. I lit these purely with daylight from two windows through some Venetian blinds and used form V-flats and a flag in the top to further limit the light on the background.

Phone booth

This is a Phone Booth from a film set, placed in a basement, with Modeling with Louise inside.

The edges of the booth constrict light to a smaller area. I’m squeezed up against the wall; the reflection in the window is the cellar window fr...

Backlit

A classic backlit image of The Endless Sinner. Light-wise, it doesn’t get much better than this. The critical element for the wrap-around light is that the model is as close to the window as possible.

And in this particular place, the wind...

Watercave

This is from Art Nude on Location, my latest Online course/workshop about using natural light fo...

Ilvy Kokomo, standing tall.

One thing I’ve noticed is that women who can overextend their ankles while retaining balance like Ilvy does here, always will appear to have longer legs in images, but also most have exceptional balance and a powerful pelvic region which I appre...

Do you like coffee?

We noticed that Ivalu’s skin was the same color as her coffee, so we set out to create something from this.

I used a large Fresnel spot for lighting (A Fresnel lens is a flat lens made up of concentric rings to reduce spherical aberration....

Back in time BTS

11,5 min BTS video from shooting todays second scene

Back in time

I’ll be the first to admit it wasn’t there when I shot this, but it should have been ;)

You’ll see it when you see it.

Herodiade just after the sun set behind some hills hence the soft light.

I placed her in a half-cave so ...

Hands up, baby Hands up

I shot these with Pretzelle, and I like the duality of the set:

One is teasing and innocent (ish). The other is anything but.

But the interesting thing is that when shot in a classy way, using good lighting and elegant retouching, you ...

What's up Doc?

The gorgeous Fatima Kojima in a pool.

If you are ever in LA, you should look her up and arrange a shot; she is an excellent model and the nicest person you can imagine. Oh, and she is also a sex and somatic coach.

This is shot early af...

Washing time BTS

BTS of the Washing Time set.

If you wonder why the set is so short, let me just mention it's cold water from a garden hose...

Washing time

Working with Wiana Model and The Endless Sinner is always fun, and we frequently shoot something kinky. This was after the end of the workshop we did in June, and we had a couple of extra days. The temperature was approaching 38 C/100F, so playing...

Spreader-bar

Last summer, I did a shoot with The Endless Sinner in Scotland, where we had access to a spreader bar. It’s safe to say she very much lived herself into the role with that…

And in case you wonder, it's a Honey-birdette out of ...

Queen Herodiade BTS

Behind the scenes video from shooting the first of todays images.

Queen Herodiade

Here are some gorgeous images of the fantastic Herodiade from Lanzarote.

There is a subtle but essential difference between these, lightwise:

The first is shot early afternoon with the sun only a slight angle off from being directly ab...

Dixie gymnastics

Dixie and I live in different parts of the country. I had a work trip near where she worked, and I managed to make ends meet, so I picked her up after work, and we drove on to an abandoned ferry mooring place right next to a beach.

I love to...

Free Trial

Dear followers,

 I’ve just opened up for a 7-day FREE TRIAL on my connoisseur tier, in case you are interested in having a peek at what I do without it costing you anything. 

It's FREE.  Of course, I hope to WOW you wi...

Sergeant Ice's castle

Last spring, I was in Padua and had the opportunity to shoot with Sergeant Ice outside an old castle. The main challenge here is that the place had a lot of high walls, which made the light come almost straight from above, so I had to adapt the mo...

Behind the scenes in Mallorca - VIDEO LINK

In June, I made a trip to Mallorca with three models. We went there to shoot some great (and fun) images and did a sold-out two-day workshop there anyway.

I did (of course) shoot many fun videos to document both the shoots and what it's like...

Mallorca Torre Volger

About a month ago, I set up a workshop in Mallorca with Modeling with Louise, The Endless Sinner, and Wiana Model.

I made sure to have a couple extra days around the event to shoot with the girls. This is from the first day out and about at ...

Mallorca Torre Volger BTS

Just three gorgeous being showing off.  Notice the railing in the front though, that should make it easier to understand why a superwideangle was necessary here.

Dixie transfixed

The sweet Dixie model (40+) is all tied up and enjoying every moment. They were all lit with a 57” zeppelin-deep umbrella with a diffuser screen.

I enjoy shooting images with an erotic feel as long as the models are comfortable doing it. A...

Hello Everyone 

I hope you are having a great summer (or those of you in the southern hemisphere - a great winter).

I have some great things in store for you this month:...

Lalunetta shot at Kullaberg in Sweden.

What I remember best from this shoot pertains to the last image, where she was somewhat anxious about allowing me to shoot her from behind at a low angle, being worried that too much would be on the show or that her butt would look too big.
