More of my newer lighting experiment, this time with my good buddy Jesslyn. We did this shoot almost a month ago, so I’ve had that much time to mentally mull it over. I think next time I try this I can do it better, but I feel pretty good about these for now.
See more of her in NSFW Magazine Issue 7, including the pretty sexy cover.

I’ve been sorting through old photos that I have neglected since the day I shot them. There are far too many great shots of Kacie from her trip out here to California from 2010 in my files, I have decided to start sharing them. Enjoy!
Our lovely Muse, Miss Kacie Marie, taken by resident photographer Mark Velasquez in California in 2010.

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.
I was fortunate enough to see these amazing pieces by Beth Cavener Stichter in person on my last trip to NYC the week before Hurricane Sandy. They are far larger than they look here; for example that reclining rabbit is the size of a human adult. There is just no substitute for seeing such things is person. I hope these pieces survived the rains that befell Chelsea.

Tiffany isn’t afraid to get serious from time to time. No animals were injured during the making of these photos.
She needed to escape from the party. She needed some alone time. Shot by photographer Mark Velasquez.
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, I love her.

Coop has always been a cool, supportive guy, aside from being a talented artist. I’m really honored that he let me come and invade his personal studio one Sunday morning last summer. Check out the article here.

After corresponding online for several years I was glad to finally meet up with Sean last Fall while visiting Seattle. We drank whiskey, ate ridiculously delicious meat pies and garlic mashed potatoes, and drank more whiskey. He’s a cool guy and took the first photo of me in a long time that I don’t hate. I look forward to spending more time with him on my next trip.
The one and only, Mark Velasquez.
Here is a quick gif from our flour shoot. TIffany is adorable and so easy to work with, I hope to create more great shots with her in the future.

Looking through some of my older work, I realize just how silly and fun my photography used to be. Maybe I will get back to some of that. Thoughts?
