LA Here I come…. B(o)(o)bies

Here is an image from Stan Schutze in SD.. I have worked with Stan a few times and keep going back for more…This is a funny image that encompasses the "looks natural" but is very staged, yet no one believes just how staged some photographic work really is….
I love my new red polka dot dress it is pure silk, cut very well, and super comfy….Stan and I were shooting and using natural window light and came up with the idea of having the neckline open up just a touch…well on a $100 + dress even though it may be cut rather low the neckline doesn’t just fall open….I had to tug at the neckline and then Stan helped tug at the neckline and then we both laughed and tugged some more…This was the hardest wardrobe malfunction that has ever happened. Then I had to stop giggling long enough to compose myself and have him actually shoot the image. After all the dress rearranging and planning and fun we both have had so many great comments from people love who the images and how I don’t even seem to notice that my breast is exposed….When in reality it was all part of our master plan…

In other news…I had a great shoot in my Fremont photography studio today, an art photographer traveling from Pennsylvania booked the studio and hired me for a half days work and we came up with some great images with concepts of creating an entire dress out of trash and a Japanese Neko cat girl set. I’ll have images up soon….

Internet Whore Upgrades & Dirty Foot Fetishes

Well after much crying swearing and banging of the keyboard against my desk ..
I now have Integrated Internet Whoredom my Internet Whore Blog hosted on my server.
And I even cobbled a few bit together to make it match the rest of my site. It took some tricky coding because blogger has a new system and seems to have hidden a few links to get the FTP set up and use a directory not have the blog go as a straight redirect to home page. Oodles of thanks to
Insignifica for all the help.

Today’s image is a brand new one: a friend and I have been working on a few special photography projects and we had a client that was interested in some dirty foot images, so we got silly with cherry blossoms, some dirt, a light table, and my trusty 30D. I love working with odd ideas and particular fetishes, it gives me a challenge to try to model and convey some sort if idea and emote using just one body part. In this case how to create an image of dirty feet and not have it look well dirty.. I went for clean fresh turned dirt and spring flowers that are the first so bloom out here. I also wanted to have the image focus on only my feet and not the rest of me. This image is the end result…

Iona in a Bucket….

Here is another oldie but goodie. Matt Haber dance photographer located in Oakland had an entire mud series he shot. I got to play in the mud now how fun is that? This is a fun image we took while shooting our mud images. This is not actual mud it is ceramic clay that has been mixed with warm water to make a slushy goo….This mud shoot and thus the cleaning off of mud started me on my journey to the first version on the teapot image by Mike Wong… The first try though was quite disastrous…I got a whole teapot of steaming water poured in my ear and the images revealed that I do not look very composed while screaming in agony due to water sluicing about my eardrums…The mud was super fun though. I do recall asking about if all the models were just as happy to be squishing mud in their toes as I was and Matt let me know that I seemed to be the one bonkers enough to enjoy it most…

In more current News I will be heading to Seattle Washington in early March to work with a few more photographers & artists. Projects for this trip include:

• Modeling for a nude art photography book to be released in 2008, about a local landmark.
• Modeling for an artist who is very active in the alternative bondage nude art scene.
• Modeling for a newer photographer
• Apprenticing under a local fashion photographer.

I need a sign that says:
“Will pose nude for photography lessons”
