Wrapped my hotel shoot with Jordan last week and damn was it a cool room. I'll save my blabbing for those sets when they drop but, as a Vegas kid, it felt great being back in a casino.
This room probably looks familiar, as it was the star of the hit photoset titled "Heather does the ass splits", but I gotta share what I did with Jordan in here too! So first, I knew that I'd have to contend with her really long legs, so I popped on the 35mm Rokinon and it gave me JUST enough fov to got those sprawling shots. I'm actually thinking of selling this lens and instead getting a slightly wider 28mm and compliment it with a 40mm for slightly tighter shots, but sets like this make me appreciate what it can do.
Anna J was a travelling model who wrapped up her career JUST as Onlyfans became a thing. She was cute, bubbly and had an amazing petite body. I'll never forget as I was filling out the release paperwork and I asked how her stage name was spelled and she said "how the heck should I know, I just made it up"
For our first professional photoset we did on our trip, we jumped into Heather's collection of sponsored lingerie wear and came out with this cute two piece set. We'd barely finished unpacking, but were eager to get the ball officially rolling after shooting that quick little iphone set. We've got a little bit of everything in this collection - we've got wide shots of the beautiful room we were staying in (technically 1 of 2 rooms we had booked), we've got some incredible posing by Heather, we've got some girl on girl action courtesy of a mirror lol, also got some foot shots for you feet dudes, AND some shots at the end that are sure to blow your minds!
I've got quite a catalog of work featuring Fionna and I'm loving it. This corner was mostly as is when I got there, I did bring over the white shag rug from the other bedroom and sprinkled some vinyl around for her to use as props. She picked the albums, tho, and she's a pretty legit Beatles fan. I'm a bit of one myself so we nerded out about that for a bit, dropped a few blue meanie jokes in here and there.
I believe this set may be getting printed? Fionna has been handling promotion on all these and doing a great job as the red tile set we shot was printed as well!
If you weren't here for the JMO era, you missed out.. or you can just look back at my post history and catch up haha. This was after we shot her first boudoir set, she wasn't taking nudes then, but she's so beautiful no one seemed to mind.
Heather and I showed up to our hotel in nowhere Northern California, checked in, and got straight to work. My plan for this trip was to capture everything, using everything, and for the first set I knew I wanted to capture Heather just as she's checked-in for this "yay vacation let's be free and get nekkid" vibe (which I know all you parents out there do when you get a vacation from the kids).
Speaking of using everything, this set is actually shot on my iphone using their RAW output, it performed better than expected tbh. I was able to lift shadows and fuss with the highlights with much more control than the default HEIF format offers. I basically sat there and edited them while she left to go check into her room, so it was also crazy convenient.
Overall this was a phenomenal content-vacation with Heather, we captured some of our most stunning and evocative work to date, and I can't wait to share it with you all over the coming weeks!
Brielle wanted something a bit more serious mixed in with our session. She had this RED bikini, I'm talking #FF0000, and I figured I'd gather up all the green in the studio and build her a little area to romp. Give the video a watch! Some of you may have seen it bundled in with the BTS I sent out a few weeks back. I've been very pleased with the footage I'm getting from the tripod vs the gimbal, feels more cinematic.
Paige has such a loudly adorable personality and it really comes through in her photos. We banged out this set as we were wrapping up, the whole area behind her is the prop section for the studio.. see anything familiar?
Okay, listen, I'll talk about Heather in a second.. So I had this crazy idea that I could create this water effect using a giant sheet of plastic, a lot of baby oil, and a $2000 video card.. and it friggin worked. I lit this using two gridded strip lights, one set to red for some color splash and warmth, and set to either side of the scene. The implementation isn't perfect across the board, but it was a fun technical experiment.
Okay so HEATHER is just the ultimate muse. She took this extraordinarily trashy and cringe looking scene (I mean, it was a wall of black plastic with the fold seams still in it) and gave us the performance of the year. Armed only with a string of beads (which broke halfway through the shoot), we were able to capture shots unlike anything we've done before.
Yes there is BTS for this, yes it is extraordinarily explicit for what Heather typically does. It took some discussion with her to allow it to release, and now it will go out tomorrow. It will be priced much higher than typical BTS tho!
I love working with Jordan, she has such a rich history working in the modeling industry, and she's pretty dope too. Her and I are going to be working together next week, actually! She's renting us a hotel with a pretty modern vibe and we're going to shoot a bunch of content all over it. Some of which I still haven't finished from our LAST shoot! Speaking of..
If you know Jordan's content on Insta, you know what her vibe is like. Legs. And boyo she's got them, pretty sure her hips are over mine and I'm taller than her. We did this lifetyle casual shoot, leg focused with a bit of tiddy, just to see what it'd look like when combining her wardrobe and theme with my style. I lit the scene just barely with a light over the kitchen sink to give her a little more full on that side, it's actually kinda visible in some shots, whoops! There's even a video that we did for it, shot in vertical and ripe for social media, except for the boobs part.
Alice and I finish shooting and I figured.. since she's already naked, how about an instax shoot? And she goes "Hell yeah I love instax!" and beckoned me to follow her into the backroom where she gave us a SHOW!
Man, what an incredibly sexy set with @heathermoni. The latter half of this year has just been something else with her. In this set, she gives you a glimpse of her glowing personality, her sense of style, her beautiful body and, you know, e v e r y t h i n g..
She really wanted to shoot with this little fan that she brought, and I wasn't really feeling it in the first half, but it made total sense in the second half. I'll have to note that getting her naked with even the tiniest props will move her to give us some outlandish poses lol.
I can't believe how many new faces we've had this year! Folks, welcome Natalie, the cutest all american big booba Marilyn Monroe-type blonde who is also quite the exhibitionist. She happened to be touring through my area and hit me up at the very last second to work, unfortunately she was on the complete opposite side of the bay from the studio so all my efforts to get her there failed. She made it clear that she was eager to shoot with me *anywhere* so I went out to the edge of the city, around where she was staying, and cruised where the streets meet the hills and started doing some location scouting. The problem with THAT is that EVERYTHING looks brown and dried out. Dead grass, dead trees, etc because we had a ton of rain that made everything green and then it stopped lol. Then, I remembered that a 'backyard oasis' airbnb that I had shot before was somewhere in that area, so I fired up the app and lo and behold they had an opening for the day that I needed it. Instead of booking the place, I messaged them directly. Since I had been there several times before, I had a bit of a rapport with them, so I asked if I could flip them a couple hundred bucks for a few hours and they said yes! ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 48 HOURS BTW!
This location has been good to me over the years, having worked with Heather, JMO, Di, and Asami Hime all in this location, and well before I started this page. Needless to say, I'm stoked to have been able to work there again.. AND I've opened the door to being able to rent the place for a short period of time instead of paying for the entire night!
This is the most amount of clothes Natalie wore this whole day so buckle up and be sure to buy the BTS so I can afford to go back lol
Can't seem to go a full week in 2024 without seeing Heather's beautiful face and incrrrredible body lol. Actually this set was cute - She had just arrived and we were chatting it up over some chips and my mom's homemade salsa (which she loved), and I told her I wanted to catch some BTS using instax and we should just keep chatting and goofing off. Of course, she goes with it, and ends up stripping out of her outfit before heading into the backroom to get ready for the first set we shot that day. So, as you can see, she came into that house READY to give it, and all the crazy sexy energy we got from her that day was the result. Was it our model/photographer chemistry or my mom's magic salsa? haha
I've had this entire theme tucked away for over a year, waiting for the right person to pull it off. FIrst, the wardrobe - the jean jacket I've used many times before, but the yellow vintage see-through dress I picked up years ago and only used once with JMO. WIth her, tho, the entire scene screamed cute and innocent, and I wanted that for this scene, but with a layer of edge over top - hence the jean jacket and smoking. Now this is California, home of world famous Olympics commentator Snoop Dogg so, naturally, weed is our prefered form of smoke. And then, in my DMs comes Alice Crowe - a cute and innocent looking hardcore lead singer who was eager to shoot this look and brought a MASSIVE bag of weed with her for a prop haha. Obviously, she nailed it. She got the cute, the innocent, the edge, she hit the pipe juusssttt right (and did her best not to inhale too much lol), and I can finally scratch this look off my list.
btw I did manage to get salvage some of the bts I made from her last scene with the spotlight (where I used timelapse instead of normal video mode). I'll send that out for free to everyone that has renew activated just as soon as I put some finishing touches on it so in like 1-2 days from this post.
Another new face! Introducing Brielle, she's a beautiful latina with an A+ face, an A+ attitude, and an A+ ass. We sort of loosely prepared for this shoot and we both arrived relatively unprepared because of it lol. Don't get me wrong, we shot some great stuff, however, the biggest thing I failed to communicate was the STYLE of the wardrobe. I usually don't photograph neon colors and stripper-style attire as it just doesn't fit with my lens selection and general processing habits, so everything we shot was a challenge, but ultimately I made it work AND I got a few more pool floaties that now qualify as a tax write-off 😎
Hijacking this week's instax to keep all my poolside summer themed shoots in a row, bridging this week's gap with one of my guilty pleasure favorites - Sin!
She doesn't model much anymore, but she is by far one of my favorite models I've ever worked with. She's gorgeous, brings a ton of character to her shoots, has lonnnggg legs and an absolutely slamming body. She's also a mom now, so this shoot was QUITE interesting as she brought the little guy to the studio lmao. The bubble gun was actually the kid's, we traded it for an ipad with his favorite learning game, and the outfit we kinda threw together at the last second, then we took turns using the bubble gun to maximize coverage, and it all came together in the end!
Heather and I have really enjoyed making content together lately, if you couldn't tell. So we've been doing some better planning to ensure we keep shoots booked fairly regularly to keep the vibe going!
Here we have Heather back in the studio! I'm currently shooting a silly mini-series of sets featuring inflatable pool toys. They aren't all necessarily shot the same or anything, just a collection of summer girls with summer toys. Heather had this Beach Babe hat too so, of course, I had to have her bring it. Her white bikini and sunglasses were so perfect, too. But none of it would have mattered if she didn't bring THIS energy, the bubbly, happy, flirty side of Heather!
Stay tuned for more from us, we did a couple more scenes at the studio and recorded/filmed a bunch of stuff for her AI voice/pic models, so huge advances will be happening there as well.
Fionna and I got published with this set recently! You can get digital or physical copies if you'd like, but it looks to be less of a nude magazine and more of a fashion/art/style one - just search up IMIRAGE Magazine # 2579. I have one on order, I'll update when I get it.
This set.. this set cracks me the fuck up. Her and I did some preplanning on what we wanted to shoot by using the vrbo listing photos. One of the shots was of this bathroom, and she said "I'd like to do a milk bath photoshoot in this." I gently declined, not just because I feel that theme has gone out of style (or maybe I just see it all the time because I follow photographers and that's what we do is shoot trends), but MOSTLY because I could see that the room was barely bigger than a closet. Ain't no way I'm gonna hover over milk in a tub that was barely 5 feet long and 20" wide. Not to mention the glass wall that was glued into the tub and wall and the lack of room for lights. HOWEVER, it was still a dope room that needed to be shot in.
So I pitched her the dressed damsel thing I shoot, you know, the other bathtub trend doesn't involve milk, and she brought this perfect Alice in Wonderland style white dress for it. I think I primarily used the built in lights "practicals" as you'd call them on set, annnnnd we took the door off the hinges and set it in the hallway so I could have more room to work with in that literal 5'x6' room. Overall I'm proud of how the set came out, and even moreso that it got published!
Delila Darling - I can't pass up an opportunity to do the ol' gown wearing maiden in a clawfoot tub gag, and Delila was so petite I thought for sure I was gonna have to dive in and save her.
This is the last photoset featuring Heather from the Eichler (70's midmod) house, but that doesn't mean I'm out of content because we JUST had a studio session where we recorded several more sets and various content woo! On top of that, we have a double room hotel shoot at the end of this month that's guaranteed to be spicy. It's just gonna be a Heather year I guess.
Speaking of, this set was what accompanied the solo video and, iirc, it was shot immediately after we shot that video so there's still bit of a glow about her. The lighting was excellent, can't go wrong with a giant window, and she leaned into the camera towards the end of the shoot which gave me the opportunity to snap a few up close shots of her that felt very personal and intimate.
I really couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to make this trip and several like it, and for your guys/gals support in helping make it happen. Thank you!
I know I'm inundating you guys with Heather content buttttttt.. I've got her coming into the studio here in a few days and we have a lot of spicy stuffed planned, so please enjoy these instax from when she was just a little bit more innocent, yeah?
I am very pleased with just how beautiful the sunlight coming in through this giant wall/window was and how it made Heather look quite literally radiant. A few candids at the beginning for y'all as well. I don't shoot a lot of lingerie, but Heather has like the ideal lingerie model body so.. I'm gonna shoot it. Also, I just really loved this fucking house, and Heather vibed with it so hard that we're feeling the pressure on what to deliver next! We talk almost daily tho, sharing ideas and planning for the next shoot (and the one after that..)
BTS available, $10 on the tip or check your dms, it may be there
As promised, the rest of the spotlight set feat. Alice Crowe. As you can see, there were far too many good shots, I just couldn't pare it down any further!
Be sure to like this post AND the last if you want to see more Alice!
This set was so good I have to make two posts for it because I couldn't bring myself to culling another 20 photos to make it fit within OF's maximum images per post of 40! So I've divided them up, this one is the mostly clean half and tomorrow's is where she gets frisky af.
Introducing Alice Crowe, btw, a HOT blonde *hardcore metal singer* who quite literally walked around naked during our entire shoot because, as she said, "it's kinda my job, right? Aren't I a NUDE model?"
Alice brings some serious quirkiness and personality to her shoots, on top of being extremely photogenic. I can see her being the next MkBlondie for this channel, able to activate and apply a level of sexiness to every role she plays. Definitely looking forward to working with her in the future.
This is an unreleased shoot featuring Jisel Lynn, a stunningly beautiful desi model. We shot this with the intention of making it its own scene and then the photos just got lost in the mix until now!
I showed Heather these pictures and she said "We really killed it right here. I can tell you truly see me as your muse, it's obvious in this set." I think so too, and the proof is in the pudding as there's a pic here that y'all longtime fans know she would not normally agree to release, but she did, and proudly.
The whole concept of an artist/muse relationship is such an interesting phenom that exists in this field. You work creatively with someone for so long that your visions and understanding of the concepts start to align. I know now that I can go with Heather anywhere and we can shoot something brilliant because our ability to communicate an idea is so refined now, after all these years of working together.
I'm stoked to show you guys this set, and what we have in store for the future!
Fionna is someone who REALLY understands the assignment when it comes to matching wardrobe to scene. And I say this as someone who does wardrobe for at least 90% of the shoots you see. I sent her a couple pics of the location and she was like "say on more fam," except she didnt say that because no one says that anymore, but then she showed up with a damn PLAYBOY BUNNY outfit and I'm just like, "yeah, that works, word," or whatever.
Now ask me what the sliver of light is and Ill respond after I get home from camping.
Anais Dior, someone I wish I could've had more opportunity to shoot with over the years, but am very happy with the portfolio her and I built as she traversed life from being a wild free spirit to spiritual motherhood. This set, of course, is from the former years.
Friends, this shoot day with Heather was absolutely incredible. All the shoots from this location were great, but her session, especially the VIDEO, will go down in Mike B/Heather duo history. We're not yet ready to reveal exactly what we did just yet, but I'll just say that it's a big step up from what we've done and she's very very eager to shoot more like it asap.
This scene was the first thing we shot that day, Heather in a fine mesh see through nightie, insisted on by her as she clearly was eager to put her beautiful body on display that day. I feel like she had this after-birthday glow she was still carrying around? Her hair was immaculate, her tan was on point, and her makeup was just right, lit almost exclusively by the afternoon sun bouncing off the atrium in the backyard. I'm shooting on ye olde 1970s Canon FD 50mm 1.4 and the set itself was mostly this way when I came in, just had to move a bunch of furniture around to maximise the light.
There's two videos for this - a phone shot one and a POV one. Each has a different vibe, each feature Heather's nude body in all its glory. It's already been sent out but if you're a little late to the party and still interested, just tip $12 on this post and I'll send them out.
