I have been shooting a lot of traveling models of late, but don't let that fool ya into thinking that there isn't plenty of great talent locally. Title: Bent (2024) Model: Apsara Sin (IG @apsara_sin) Location: Bridgehead Studio, Alameda CA #burlesque #blackandwhitephotography

True and a bit formulaic. There was never much character development over the series.

I remember reading that Robert B. Parker author of the Spencer For Hire novels would do something similar. He would write a complete book over a long weekend.

In the beginning, I was shooting models as reference for illustration. So I would ignore the what was happening in the background. As I developed though, I later found that often the background was the story. Title: Break Time For Tia (2015) Model: Tia Leigh Location: Vallejo CA #trashy #bong #punk

I went to a panel years ago, where a model had been talking about posing. She said that if you want the model to appear strong and dominant, you ask them to create triangles in their poses. Model: Victoria (@victoriamlynn.bsky.social) Location: Palm Springs #boudior #lingerie #palmsprings

A photographer posted a question recently on Threads asking "how do you get expressions from your model that don't look staged or phony." I guess having them play with a skilled and trusted top is one way to do it. Models: The_Facilitator and Dani_Red Location: Oakland CA #kink #submission
