Playtime with @emmpocalypse We felt the urge to create something. No real plan.

If anyone knows this model, Lily, please send me her IG handle. We did a shoot together and I can't locate her to give her images.

Incredible dancers @ash.sonnier and @_.emmalou showing off their athleticism. I'm so lucky that I get to work with wonderful expressive creatives like these two!

I'll have a set of these in my blog. Thanks @emmpocalypse and @jonnycreative for a fun afternoon of play. Jonny, I'm not sure who produces these hand painted backdrops, but they are just stunning.

From a Meetup with @odette_svann and her special angel wings. For all my Meetup peeps, sorry I haven't hosted a Meetup in the past few months and I'm unlikely to get any scheduled this summer. I miss getting into the studio with my creative Meetup members, but I've just been swamped with work. Thing

She's a chameleon. A few weeks past in a post she looked like Ygitte. With short hair she can look like a young Justin Beiber. She's like a box of cracker jacks. There's a surprise in every box.

In the modeling industry, "digitals" are simple, lightly edited, natural photographs that show what the model actually looks like with no makeup, styling or heavy retouching. They give commercial producers a sense of the "raw material" so to speak. I don't mean to objectify, but that's the reality.

I've done only two or three shoots from the beginning of March to the beginning of June! Works been a little cray cray! So it was fun to do a little drop in session with @rickphotoboulder and work my shutter finger. Amanda @wander.lust_runner was our model and pleasure to work with.

I love hanging out with my creative peeps. I bought a business a few months ago and I think this is one of the few shoots I've taken since then. I feel like my creative self is atrophied. This on the other hand is soul nourishing. I've got to get back into the studio. Thank you for just being you @a

The original concept we had for this shoot didn't quite work, but we have a fun time turning those lemons into lemonade. A good time with @andietalkswithmetoo and @almost_tyrone

Continuing on from yesterday's assassin shoot. We now have our character disguising herself in preparation for the hit. I can't post the key pics for the reason I mentioned in yesterday's post. Bummer. Model, the talented @emmpocalypse sporting her femme look.

Eric Upside Brown @ericupsidebrown.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I did have a cinematic storyline for a female assasin, but then found out that I can't post pics showing tools of the character's trade. It seems the gram doesn't want me to post anything but family photos.

Always a pleasure to work with @ahna.greener. Taken at the studio of @jonnycreative. There were some plants hanging on a stand and the sun just happened to shine through the window casting this beautiful shadow on the wall. More of this set in my blog.

Last week I posted a few pics of @_.emmalou. Here are a few more. We had a shaft of light coming in from a small high window which was amazing. It was a happy accident and would have taken a while to construct this with studio lights. We pumped a little fog around Emma to capture the shaft. They wer

Three different color gradings. Any preferences? I don't use presets and normally I don't do a lot of color grading, but I felt like playing around the night I edited this one. Model: @red.velvet.deity

The always beautiful expressive physicality of @ash.sonnier. Fabulous dancer. Catch her at a @daviscontemporarydancecompany performance in Denver. Big thanks to my friend @jonnycreative for assisting with the styling and lighting at this Meetup that I hosted.

I didn't get to shoot dancer @juliastwalley at this Meetup I hosted a couple months ago, but I did manage to capture a few portraits in the beautiful window light at @atelieralchimia.art. Thanks to @jonnycreative for the help that day. And thanks to all the photographers who come out to the events a

This was a lucky accident and a real challenge. I was hosting a Meetup at the studio of @jonnycreative. There is a small high window and it was that time of the day where we got a narrow shaft of light coming into the studio. So we played around with it. We had a couple of powerful constant lights (

This was an interesting experiment for me in using light and color. The first picture was more of a test shot for me where I was setting my light levels for Lur and using a warm gel. (I ended up editing my test shot.) Then I added a second light with a blue gel to light Exodus from camera left. I se

From a Meetup I hosted at the end of March. I bought a new business a few months ago and I've hardly had time to even think about photography. But I finally got back to editing some overdue projects this week. Featured is @valerieluongg. Assistance with styling from the talented @jonnycreative

This was the second paint setup with Auni, the all-white one. We thought it might be interesting to pour the paint instead of brushing it on. It wasn’t. It looked exactly like a giant bird turd. We laughed, admitted defeat, and went back to brushes. That ended up being the right call. Auni wasn’t f

Auni and I had worked together before she moved away, and this was our first shoot since she came back. We didn’t arrive with a plan. She’d been away from making work for a while and wanted to reconnect with her creative side. She’s a graffiti artist, so we decided to start with paint and see where
