Spring is In the Air and That Wasn't Necessarily Great For Me

well as usual I got on a hot streak and then i let life derail me. I went through and am going through a very rough patch and for anyone that follows me regularly I'm going to be fine. I've just been very slow on the getting new work done front. I miss shooting but I blame it for much of what has been going on in my life. Read between the lines or don't but I know any faults are mine and not the shooting but it sure didn't help. In any event - as much as I sometimes say "adios!" to the camera I always come back to the fact that I love it - i love the interaction with the good models where it feels like we are creating something together and I truly hope that my best days are in front of me.

I'm looking to expand into more traditional pin-up and fetish work like latex designers and corsetry etc. If you are or know someone that is in that line of work and could use a relatively gifted photographer at really good rates let me know. By really good rates I mean for the right model or designer I'd do some TFP.

So lets get spring springing...and I hope the worst is behind and the best is in front of me...

Danah Part II

Not the normal Stark-Arts location to shoot but overall I'm very pleased. Can't wait to get this multi-talented woman out into the street....

Danah

Danah is a model i've shot recently that I got back in front of my lens. If you follow you will see she was part of the Vixen Combat shoot a few weeks ago and based off that experience she asked me to shoot some stills for her music. I was happy to as she was a blast the first time we shot. Here are a few of the images - 

A New Year

Looking forward to a year of incredible experiences and amazing photos. I can't wait to shoot whomever gets in my way...

Vixen Combat II

More shots of Danahh and Fatimah for the coming soon Vixen Combat League. Fun shoot with some super cool ladies. Support it when you see it. Should be a blast.

Vixen Combat

I shot some promo stuff for a new women's fighting league that is going to make it's debut in 2012 called Vixen Combat. I think it's going to be big....click on the title to go to the Facebook page....

Driving

i drove about 2500 miles this past Sunday through Wednesday. NYC to Ft. Lauderdale in 16 hrs flat. Then some cross-Florida adventures that brought me back to Jacksonville. During all that I managed to make a stop just south of Tampa to hook back up with AnnaMariaLove. I'd met and shot her earlier in the year and we had made plans to do it again when I headed back. Here are the results. Amongst other things this made the trip worth it...

A First Time For Everything

I'd never tied a man. Not for real. Certainly never to this extent. I hadn't had butterflies in a while. Wasn't really sure if my tactics to build rapport would work the same with a man as with a woman. I've often said I could teach my lighting to anyone in 4 hrs. But the ability to get someone comfortable in bondage in public or even not in public was something i could explain perhaps but I don't think i could teach it. Rarebreed (fetlife name) contacted me after seeing me tie at a party. His question was simple. "how do you feel about tying men?" - I answered quickly - "sounds like a good idea to me" and it was and is. I was still uncertain how it would go. He was pretty new to bondage...a total virgin when it came to suspension, but I'd seen some stills and he was a performance artist and in far better shape than me or many of the models i've shot for that matter. I knew I could do great stuff - the question was would i push him too far due to his maleness? I take it pretty easy on women. At least at first. Rarebreed left the shoot asking for more and that to me is a successful shoot.
