Alysha Nett is probably my most-photographed model — at least she is now that I’ve had her in my studio once again this week.  She gains more and more popularity as a tattoo/glamour/nude model not only because her ink work is very striking, but because she knows how to bring it with lots of sexy poses and facial expressions.

Not only is it nice to have a model that looks stunning, but also one that works as naturally as Alysha does in front of the camera.

I decided it would be nice to go back-to-basics with a black and white shoot, mainly since she’s gotten more black ink tattoo work since I shot her nearly two years ago.

And for those who want to see Alysha in full-color:

So, I had made a blog post back in January about how excited I was for my new studio space I had moved into at the time, but I really felt it was necessary to redux that post to demonstrate how much more awesome it looks in the summer!

All the natural lighting pouring in through the windows looks amazing, but of course I’ve got studio lighting setups, if needed. Located in a historic Victorian mansion in the South Loop, you can’t help feeling classy shooting in there!

The first weekend of spring came and I had the pleasure of having Alysha Nett in my studio, we spent a few hours shooting different outfits.

Alysha Nett is a tattoo glamour model to keep your eye out for; not only is she very lovely but she goes the extra mile creating captivating poses. As a result she gets featured more and more both in print and online.

I took a short trip to Ohio last weekend to meet with family, and I managed to throw together a collaborative shoot.

I had hair and makeup stylists, and the lovely Sophie King standing in as model. She’s one of my favorite models, not only because she was one of my first when I forayed into making photography more than just a hobby many years ago.

Proof positive that having professional stylists on hand makes all the difference.

Thanks to Travis for hair and Mary for makeup.

This is a product photo to promo a burgeoning shoe company, it’s a small flat that rolls up and stuffs into handbags, or anywhere you need a pair of shoes on the quick. Interesting concept, let’s see how it catches on.

I wanted to share photos of my new studio rental. I’m really excited about it!

It’s in a large historic mansion in the South Loop, right off Michigan Avenue. The interior is spacious, with lots of gorgeous Victorian decor, not to mention plenty of natural daylight.

In all, it makes for a great place to shoot, or set up my backdrops.

Keep in mind the photos below are just snapshots. Imagine what it will look like during your actual shoot!
