Sweet little Hollis don’t take no shit. Comments/Questions
How could you not love Hollis? As far as meaningless fashion images go, this is one of my favorites I’ve shot recently. Comments/Questions
I get approached, both online and in person, by many women every week asking to pose for me. I always try to be polite and complimentary, but invariably I say no. To be honest, I’ve lost a lot of interest in finding new models. As my dad always
“My timing is off She isn’t ready for my love It’s all that I got But it’s a pretty big thing That she should recognize; The truth between us cannot hide.” -“MY TIMING IS OFF” The Eels Comments/Questions
Ashley and I met at, of all places, one of the tapings of the reality show I was on, Bravo’s Work Of Art, back in 2009. I appeared to make pleasant conversation for the cameras while pumping her for information, desperately starved for any knowledge
Another great person I met in NYC was Lori Adorable. Lori is stronger than she looks and sweeter than you’d think; part tough dominatrix, part fun, silly girl. Her photos and personal writings could be dismissed by the casual viewer as just erotic,
Meeting through ModelMayhem.com a few months ago, it took me less than three seconds to discover how hyper-kinetic Vanessa can be. She’s a whirling dervish, jumping from topic to topic in conversation faster than my five year old nieces, with just
Another quiet moment with Vanessa. Comments/Questions
Fairly often I get sick of taking photos, hating my camera and refusing to pick it up for a good, long while. Then after two days or so, I get this nervous itch that makes me schedule a shoot out of the blue. Today was the day I picked it up again. Rachel
“Go to sleep We’re so tired now Altogether in a snake pit of souls New days To throw your chains away To try to hang your hopes on the wind.” -“LITTLE ONE” Beck Comments/Questions
To illustrate what I wrote before about what I look for during test shoots with new models, here is Heather. She’s undeniably a lovely woman: very tall, naturally thin, blahblahblah. As my dad would say, “A dime a dozen.” Within minutes
Though I’ve been fighting off a cold for over a month now, I agreed to shoot in the freezing ocean last week and in an almost as cold pool Sunday. Lacey, who desperately wanted to do an underwater shoot, also said she didn’t know how to swim
“I got a bad disease Up from my brain is where I bleed. Insanity, it seems Is got me by my soul to squeeze.” -Red Hot Chili Peppers The song just felt appropriate for this shot of Heather diving back into the water. Comments/Questions
Another shot of Miss Lori Adorable. Lori is stronger than she looks and sweeter than you’d think; part tough dominatrix, part fun, silly girl. Her photos and personal writings could be dismissed by the casual viewer as just erotic, fetish, BDSM,
Kirsten gave a ride to her friend who was doing a test shoot with me two weeks ago, but I found Kirsten so engaging that I couldn’t help but do a test shoot with her a few days later. She surprised me with her singing ability and I closed my eyes
For our first official shoot together, Kirsten and I shot in a friend’s newly abandoned house on Saturday. Her look always walks that nervous line between innocent young woman and sexy model, so I thought she’d be perfect to pose in the new
Shot this of Erin yesterday in that same abandoned house. The moment I showed her the green room she knew it was for her. vonbeck: “Cause if your skin was soilHow long do you think before they start diggingand if your life was goldhow long would you
This is probably technically one of the best candid photos I’ve taken in a while. I’m really happy with the lighting and depth of field, though the best part, of course, is Erin’s personality. She’s really enjoying her doughnut
“This just isn’t fitting right…” she said, adjusting it as only her crafty theater technician skills could. I chose not to argue. Comments/Questions
For all the stoners out there, here’s a shot of my lovely friend Erin taking a break before her grand photo shoot last Sunday. We here at Mark Velasquez Photography do not encourage smoking of any kind, but we also do not believe it is a gateway
And this type of thinking is why photographers who spend a lifetime learning their craft can’t make a living…
The last crown shot of Erin, but I think it’s a pretty good one. What do you think? Comments/Questions

“She stood and whispered to her child, ‘Belong.’She held the child and whisperedWith calm, calm, 'Belong.’” -R.E.M. Comments/Questions
During our day-long shoot in a friend’s abandoned house, I couldn’t resist asking Erin to shoot in the shower. Thankfully she’s usually game for just about anything. It only shows how pathetic of a religion and history nerd I am that,
Erin is a perfect example of a natural beauty. But one of the interesting things that always seems to happen when I upload an image of her is the hate mail I get. “Her breasts are fake,” some person will argue. “Why don’t you shoot
Shooting in a house that hadn’t been lived in for a while, I was intrigued by this odd sight. Due to an extreme example of unfortunate timing, this little guy had got caught in the door jam, supposedly a microsecond before it was able to jump free.

Some days I wake up more sentimental and emotional than others. These days are rare, with is no rhyme or reason to their arrival, but I cannot help myself. The dark sarcasm I would usually delight in seems too harsh, “too soon,” not funny.
This afternoon I had yet another great shoot with Raven LeFaye. She is always chill and easy going and didn’t mind helping me with a photo series that may or may not appear in my solo gallery show in December. Oh, the decisions! Also, see her in

Had an impromptu test shoot today with a lovely Mexican woman, a friend of one of my models. With no other real idea, I just put on the smoke machine and began to click away. She seems to have a lot of interesting stories to tell, I hope I get to hear
Had an impromptu test shoot today with a lovely Mexican woman, a friend of one of my models. With the smoke machine on, I asked her to make a silly face and she grabbed her breasts, squeezed, and made a “grr” sound. I chose not to correct
Do you think that you can tell a lot about a man's experience with women based on how he pushes elevator buttons?
Nikki and Taylor I love Taylor; she’s become a loyal friend and great model. Though I’ve only known her a little over two months, her sweetness and genuine passion for life has inspired me and made me be far more open and inviting with her

When it rains, most Californians hunker down inside their homes with the heater on and and a warm bowl of soup. Instead I convince models to drive out to vineyards with me and roll around in the mud. I guess both choices have their pros and cons. Comments
I found this old shot from years ago while digging through some old hard drives. I recall her calling me the day before saying that, though she’d never wanted to pose nude in the past, she now felt the urge to do so and wanted it to happen as soon
