There are still so many great unpublished photos of my friend Kacie Marie in my archives I need a free month just to begin sorting them all. Here is a great shot I rediscovered recently from when she drove up from Philadelphia to meet me in Manhattan
These lighting experiments are taking me much farther than I ever thought they would. Now that I’ve moved to a larger place, I have far more space than my cramped bedroom to shoot in, leading to more movement for the models to express themselves.
These lighting experiments are getting more and more dramatic and dynamic, similar to the kinds of contorted, contrasty figures I used to draw and paint throughout high school and college. I guess my history of absorbing all aspects of comic books is
This is by far the least thought provoking calendar I have ever taken part in, and yet oddly the most successful. Though some people have taken it far too seriously, I feel pretty confident that most people will understand the cute silliness of it. Also,
Jesslyn makes it all look so easy. She is a great model, though she has little to no experience. Her perfect mix of strength and vulnerability isn’t an act; having gotten to know her in the last few months I have seen the extreme of both sides.
Moving out of the house I lived in for over seven years, I knew I needed to streamline my life. Deciding to get rid of a lot of the larger art I had been holding onto for years, I decided to put ads online. My friend and part-time model Brandi was excited

She wants so desperately to be a waifish fashion model, yet can’t appreciate how flawless her body already is. We shot this out take between her dance sessions in my living room late Thursday night right before I went to bed. I woke up thinking

Most people view a new year as a time of rebirth, a fresh start. Even though you may or may not believe in that, now is as good a time as any to begin doing all of those things you have always wanted to. The best time to start is not tomorrow, it is now.
Several people asked for a better look at Jesslyn from the last image I posted. I’m still having hacker issues with my Tumblr account, so though I tried to post this as my last post of 2012 yesterday I guess I’ll post it as my first of 2013.

Last night Tiffany came by my new place for the first test shoot I have shot here. To be perfectly honest, my jaded sensibility prepared me for the worst, having seen some emailed images of her that weren’t the best. Imagine my surprise when she

Cherish is one of the most naturally lovely women I’ve ever known, yet she is also one of the silliest. During our most recent shoot, meant to be light and pretty, she randomly flipped her shirt over her head and started making roaring sounds. Yeah,
Tiffany isn’t afraid to get serious from time to time. No animals were injured during the making of these photos. ladysensuality: She needed to escape from the party. She needed some alone time. Shot by photographer Mark Velasquez.
This lighting technique has probably been done before, but working to discover it on my own was important and fairly rewarding to me. Mallory was a sweetheart for letting me use her as a test subject, and as you can see she makes it all look easy. Comment
