Most readers know that I do private photoshoots for women and couples who need a discrete photographer. But I also do model portfolio shoots for aspiring models who are entering the world of nude and erotic modeling. These are often trade shoots, which means that I can share the images with you here. The model for this shoot is Maree from Model Mayhem.
This shoot took place in a great rental studio we have here in Portland called Beast Daylight Studio, formerly Buck East Studio. It's in an old industrial building and has huge windows on the South side of the room. The whole room is painted white, with other backdrop colors on movable panels.
I have a nice studio in my home that gets a lot of use during the rainy Pacific Northwest Winters. After a couple of months, I start getting anxious to shoot elsewhere. I'm perfectly happy doing private shoots for clients in their own homes, in hotel rooms or vacation rental homes, but when I do a trade shoot with a model, I want to indulge my inner artist with some lovely daylight.
You can see the results in this gallery. The photos are NSFW, 18+, etc.... Enjoy!
Tech details: all photos taken with a Canon 5D Mark III. All but one were done with the Canon EF 24-70 F/2.8 L II and mostly at ISO 100.
