Backyard Jane with Kacie Marie

What can I say about Kacie that I haven't said in my many many updates involving her before?  I don't really know to be honest, but for those of you that are new here Kacie and I have been shooting for over a decade now.  She is my longest running collaborator, one of my very good friends, and a person that al...

Nicole Vaunt and Amber Rose McConnell in Austin

I don't really feel the need to escape winter in the North West the same way I did Pennsylvania, or Chicago.  Even though it does get cold out here it is not the crushing kind.  For four years I had the same daily routine when home.  Wake up, walk down to the basement to thaw our pipes with a hair dryer, make coffee, bundle up in a snow suit, slide into the World War II sleeping bag...

Redwoods Road Trip with Amber, Alice and Vaunt

We decided September of last year that Alice X was going to come out to Seattle this Spring so we could explore the nature around our new home.  The Redwoods is one of those places I always want to spend more time, and a location that I have thought could be good for a workshop.  So in April we loaded up the van and headed down to California.

The first time I saw tree's this massi...

Summer's Here and so is a Tier Update

Hey everybody!  June marks something like my 2.5 year milestone here on Patreon, and basically my first time revisiting my pledge tiers.  Going forward I'm going to be making a few small changes.  As things have taken off here I've realized that I'm putting out much more content, and this will enable me to create even more.

 
$5 Tier: is retired.  If ...

Julie and Trina for Into the Wild

On our way back up from the Redwoods we stopped to hit the beach for a day with two incredible models I have been following for a long time, Trina  and Julie.

After a couple weeks of traveling and pretty much amazing weather i...

Nova Amour for Into the Wild

Coming from the North East I'm used to a very colorful, but short autumn.  The leaves change and for a few days we are gifted with an amazing forest to run through, then inevitably a storm comes, the leaves, fall, and more often than not I'm away or busy the few days I could have spent capturing some amazing images.  I've still managed to get out a couple of times, but I like to travel a...

Nicole Vaunt, Alice X and Amber Rose McConnell for We Were Wanderers

We drove from the coast inland for a few hours.  The weather north through Oregon along the pacific looked like a mess, so in an attempt to do something different, fun, and less rain soaked we decided to drive to a place I'd been thinking about shooting for years, Umpqua Hot Springs.

As far as Hot Springs go, Umpqua is one of the least traveled hot springs you can find.  Its not a luxu...

Robin Mae for Into the Wild II

Its been a long and particularly harsh winter for the North West.  Its funny because when I first started talking to Nicole about moving out here I may have promised that it almost never snows, and that we won't have to dig our car out ever again...that was partly true.  Despite the surprising amount of snow Portland and Seattle both got this year we had to do no digging.

But with...

Jess and Amber at the Marin Headlands

I got into photography because I had managed to get my hands on a digital point and shoot that my mom won at a raffle for a conference her work sent her too.  I didn't grow up in a very artistically inclined family.  Really I didn't grow up in a very artistically or culturally inclined part of the country.

But I was a kid in a punk rock band how had managed to get his hands on a c...

Temperance the Book!

I'm considering offering a pre-sale of Temperance the book to try and help raise funds for the design and initial printing, so I'm trying to figure out, what people are most interested in.

Let me know what you think.  Help determine the future of Temperance!

Raquel Reed for The Jungle

Late summer I made my way to my favorite hidden place outside of Philadelphia for what I knew would be the last time.  Raquel and I had been planning this shoot for a while, and I knew exactly where I wanted to go...the Pine Barrens.

Finding amazing places to shoot out east was a lot harder than here.  I had to learn to love the forests I grew up in because I'd always been aroun...

Dasha Usova for Pulp

Moving and starting a new body of work is a pretty intimidating process.  It is hard to know where I am going, what I am going to be saying, or if I even have anything left to say.  I know I have something left to say, but is this the way I want to say it?

I start a project the same way I have written.  I start writing, and I figure out what it means to me along the way.  Its...

I swear I'm alive

Hey there!

Yeah its the 8th and I haven't updated Patreon yet!  But I swear it is for a good reason.  The end of March I left Seattle for a two week road trip down to San Fransisco and back.  I shot photos all the way down and all the way back up in Portland, Mt Shasta, Oakland, The Redwoods, Umpqua Hot Springs, and Cannon Beach, so this month should be a real treat as far as...

Porcelain for The Jungle

I've been working a lot lately on getting everything together to start a new project here in Seattle.  When we moved out here I thought that we would be moving into a small apartment, and I'd need to find a studio to do this project in, so I left all of my large format equipment back in Philly figuring I wouldn't have the space or money for a while to do Wet Plates like I have been wanting to...

Feryn for Pulp

We struggle to figure out what it is we are trying to do or say with our work.  Until we figure out.  Its a weird place to be back to.  I was very comfortable in Philadelphia.  I knew what I wanted to do with Temperance.  I knew my home and that room, and almost every angle that I could shoot, where to put the light I knew what I wanted to say, and how to make photos that ...

The Affair

So over the summer right around the time we were getting ready to move out to Seattle I got an inquiry from the producers at Showtime about whether or not they could license some images of mine for the TV Show The Affair.

Specifically they wanted close ups of labia.  I immedaitely said yes, and then realized that this isn't something I have actually shot much of.  Mostly because it is ...

Robin Mae for Into the Wild

I'm heading back to Portland this weekend to work with Robin Mae again, and I'm pretty damn excited about it.  The nature in the north west a stones throw away from Portland and Seattle is one of the big reasons we finally settled on moving out here.  I can't set foot in these forests without seeing a million spots I want to shoot in.  

I learned to appreciate the little thin...

Ashley Love and Maya Faun for Into the Wild (not together, but in the same place)

The last months I spent in Philadelphia I fell back in love with the forest near our house.  Probably every summer I lived in Philly I would start to fall back in love with the forest as the spring mud dried out, and the plants came back to life.  I found this perfect pool where the green trees gave us a beautiful soft light to work in, and the light playing off the surface of the water ...

Kacie Marie for The Jungle

I've never been a big black and white shooter.  Even when I was shooting all Black and White film for school I was always shooting color digital on the side for myself, but more and more I find myself drawn to grayscale tones.  It started when I first discovered wet plate.  It just seemed to trap so much more dimension than neopan, plus my love of large format camera's has been one ...

Ashley Love for Temperance

I got my first glimpse at what will eventually be Temperance the book a couple days ago, and I have to say I am very excited about how this will look as a final product.  I'm also terrified at how large a book this could easily become.  

When I published 50 Models 50 States I ran into pretty much the same problem, and it doesn't seem like the publishing industry has any interest i...

Lillias Right for Into the Wild

I am learning these new forests.  The woods of Philadelphia with their calm streams, silver maple lined banks, and poison ivy covered everything are where I learned how to take photos.  The North Wests forests are an all together different beast.  The woods that I have gone through here are intensely dense, and intensely green.  It is one of the reasons I fell in love with Wash...

Jennifer Lynn for Temperance

Some days I miss this room.  Mostly the mirrors, and the fabric.  I always wish'd that I could have used natural light in that space, but the way the houses in Philly are layed out in most of the neighborhoods only one or two rooms really get much light, and Temperance was shot in a very dark room.

But it's been a crazy few months going through all of these photos over and over ag...

Sierra McKenzie for Pulp

Something new is abrewing now that we are all moved into our new place, and I'm on an adventure shooting something new!  I decided I wanted to play around and do a short term project in our new house, while I finish laying out Temperance as a book, and get everything together to start my next big project, which will be shot on a mixture of digital and wet plate!  So out of that was born ...

We Were Wanderers - Argentina

I started keeping a journal while I was in South America...I've always written mostly for myself, and more for my amusement than memories sake.  I am very lucky in that I have a very good long term memory, so while people's names often escape me Nicole and my travels do not.   

We weren't actually supposed to go to Argentina.  Our orginal plan was to catch...

Jaclyn, Yugen, and Kayla Jacquelyn for Into the Wild

There is a magical spot north of Phoenix called Fossil Creek that I've fallen in love with.  22 miles down a dirt road and you find yourself at a beautiful trailhead above a creek that snakes through the dry Arizona desert.  The water is perfectly clear, and creates an oasis perfect for photography.

Flowers line the banks, and the cool water is the perfect spot to cool off from the hot...

Jessa Jordan for Into the Wild

One of the downsides of traveling is it feels nearly impossible to get on a plane and not get sick.  Our trip down to South America it felt like we were surrounded by people with the flu on the plane, on the ferry, and on the buses we took, but we managed to get all the way down there and back without getting sick...then I got home, and the wheels came off.

So now I'm laying in bed sick, an...

Hey It's February!

Well so far 2017 has been a roller coaster ride, and it seems like we are all getting tossed around by this thing whether we want to or not.  I finally feel like I'm starting to get situated here in Seattle, and despite it having been two years I'm still learning how to do this Patreon thing.

When I started Patreon in 2014 my goal was to make $400 a month, and I thought with that I'd be set...

Slutspice for Temperance

In the final days of Temperance during the intensely hot summer Luna Lynch (aka Slutspice) made the treck from Georgia up to Philly to shoot for Temperance.  Even though we were planning on stripping the room and remodeling it for a new tennant I knew we had to leave the wallpaper up long enough to fit this shoot in, and she was incredible to work with.

I'm still working on figuring out whe...

Nicole Vaunt in Torres del Paine

How do you describe the longest you have traveled for a shoot? 

Almost two weeks ago Nicole and I got a plane to Washington DC, then we got on a plane to Panama City, then we got on a plane to Santiago, then we rented a car and drove down the Pan American Highway through Chile to Puerto Montt, then we got on a ferry for 5 days, which took us through fjordland's to the pacific o...

Nicole, Amber and Porcelain a Franklin Falls Attempt

For New Years Eve we decided it would be a good idea to start the day early, and head up into the mountains to shoot before we did dinner and drinks with friends.  Nicole, Amber, Porcelain, Henry Vance and I loaded up and head out to what we thought would be a fun easy hike down to Franklin Falls near Snoquamie, but when we arrived we were met with an impossible traffic jam.

Nat Geo had pub...
