Justin is obsessed with Betty White. He also subscribes to my patreon. And since he took these photos, I'm honoring him by putting out the PSA that there are 35 days until Betty White's birthday.
Also, one of the most awkward things when modeling is not knowing what to do with your hands, so I wanted to take a second to say I'm really proud of all the examples this set shows of what you can do with your hands. Notice that no two hand p...

Old film set with @mel.green13 and @agapealways. I've loved having the opportunity to both model with and shoot Mel, and David was one of my first friends in the photo community. We get each other, and it comes out like this.
-take 2 because the new upload feature isn't optimized yet. But when it is it'll be easier to share and view fully sets hopefully!

I had dinner with @singian the other night and when I told him all of my posts on here are full sets he burst out in laughter and shook his head. He thinks it's both genius and insane that I share all my content for a dollar. But I love it and I hope you do too. This set was taken on my new camera, which allows me to take 9 frames at a time on self timer, and for those of you who saw my self portrait video you know that's a huge bonus! It also...

Wanted to give my patrons first peek and choice. If you want a Polaroid, the first 19 I could find are available now. Will post more as I search for them in my stacks of negatives.

I don't normally use flash for my photos. I don't like it and it's hard to edit. But I wanted to try out my new camera and the sun is gone at like noon now. So I just decided to have some fun with it and do a little paint sesh.

It may not look like much, but this room has so many memories. It was my Grandmother and Grandfather's room before I was born. When I was little, it was where my grandmother would sit at her vanity and moisturize her face and where we'd go through her "treasures". My first two years of college, I lived in this room and spent countless hours studying and crying. It's where I found out I got into UC Berkeley. And now, it's where I stay when I vi...

Okay, so these were wayyyy harder than I thought. I knew having a white background might not turn out well, since double exposures show up better in the dark spots (as you'll see). I also shot one set on the wrong iso, making them extra over exposed. A lot of the frames overlapped, which I don't really have a solution for yet, as they started out aligned and slowly got worse. I managed to salvage a handful to post here, but I'm going to try ag...

It takes about 2 hours to get this amount of images with tintype. Setting up, preparing the tin, taking the photo, and then developing it. It's a fun process (that includes cyanide as one of the developing chemicals, yikes!) and makes me feel like I've traveled back in time.

With film, there are sometimes multiple rolls being shot on different formats. Here are some of the 35mm from my shoot with Brock I posted a bit ago (from the 120 rolls) that just got sent to me.

My first nude shoot ever. I laid in the grass while dusty painted me and then we ran around the trees and beach feeling magical and free. This was the shoot that made me realize how intune with my body I feel when I'm creating in the nude.

When I saw this poem by one of my fav writers, I knew I wanted to do a rope recreation of the illustration. So I took 10 plant pots (cuz for some reason i already own at least 10 empty plant pots) and filled them with fake plants I ordered from amazon. I'm really proud of the result. **compare the last photo with the illustration to see the actual recreation, I just wanted to share the other shots too**

Don't let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don't let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don't let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
Don't let me think weakly
Though I know that I can break
Keep me away from apathy
While I am still awake
And don't let me think too long
Of the one I'm bound to face
Show me love

It's funny how I feel like I'm running out of things to share and then realize I actually still have hundreds of photos that've never seen the light of day. Watch this fun progression of how I go from clothed to naked in photo form.

I can't believe I've never shared these photos on here. Correct me if I have already and am just losing my mind. This was by far my favorite shoot from New York.

I got dressed up and did my makeup to go out, and plans got canceled. So I took the opportunity to take a bunch of selfies. In contrast to my post earlier today, I was shooting in really crappy light. But it feels good to create in any condition.

I woke up this morning before my alarm, half awake, and snapped this photo. I went back to sleep after I took this and completely forgot about it, but some part of my brain must have been telling me to capture how beautiful it was so I could share it with you. I know it's not composed or posed at all, but i thought there was something pretty great about that half-conscious intention.

More unseen photos. Sometimes I get sent sets and if I don't have a spot on my Instagram to post them they sit unseen for weeks. This is one of those.

I've been a little emotional today. So I decided to channel that into a little art. Before you shed any pity or best wishes, don't. I'm lucky I have this outlet.

In honor of this day of superstition and weird beliefs that no one really quite knows the history for, thought I'd present you with my own weirdness. Is it bad luck to rip off the statue of David's nipple? Cuz that's what happened on accident during these shots.

Let's be real for a moment. I had a pretty weird fucking day. And not the good kind. So I decided to give you this set we did in an ice cream shop in New York. Sometimes when you shoot, you can't use a space without a lot of people. And for this set, I was sitting in a corner at this shop smearing ice cream on my lips and trying to get it to drip down my chin. But it's things like this that make me feel pretty fearless. 20 strangers in front o...

I want to destigmatize rope. I think a lot of people have assumptions about it and the people involved in it. It means different things for different people, so I wanted to open a conversation here. If you have questions you've wanted to ask me or curiosities, go ahead and ask. What do you want to know?

I had my first appointment to get my butt tattoos removed yesterday. People keep asking me why. The short answer is I don't want them. The long answer is they were done with a knife and ink and I was told they'd fade within the year, and they didn't. The tattoos you see on me have a lot of thought and meaning behind them, and I appreciate and love my skin and don't purposely put anything permanent on it that I haven't given thought to. So it's...

I had a few shots left on a roll of film and these dried eucalyptus branches and baby's breath left over from a bouquet and some lace left over from who knows what project. Made a makeshift studio in a corner of my room using fabric over my bathroom door (can you spot the door handle?) and my sweater over a stepping stool. Turned into this and I kinda wish I had done a whole set with this concept.
