Fatima - Leather
On June 6th at HTX Mulberry Studio, I had the pleasure to work with the beautiful Russian, Fatima. I wanted to do something a little different from what I had seen of her so I thought a little low key photography with different colors to accent her body and hair. To light her up I used my GVM RGB lights for rim lights, one set at blue and the other set at red. Then I used a Godox AD200 with a 38” deep parabolic octagon softbox above front at a 45 degree angle for the main light. My camera of choice was my Canon EOS R with my 85mm set at ISO 100, f5 at 1/125 of a sec.
Anny - Playboy Bunny
On May 24th, I got together for the first time with the beautiful Korean model Anny. We knocked out a few cool sets, no spoilers but I can’t wait to publish them all. This is the first set I decided to share. Don’t you think she looks great as a Playboy bunny? There were 2 different lighting setups for these images. The first was shot on an all white background in which I added the windows in post. Lighting for this set was a Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon soft box, accompanied with two Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in strip boxes. With the second set of images I used a loft type background and lit her with a GVM (Daylight-Balanced) 80W-II LED Light. All images were taken with my Canon EOS R with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens.
Sarah IP - Elf Warrior
All I can say is WOW! These are the types of shoots I love. Saturday, May 8th, Sarah came by the studio and helped me create these awesome elf warrior images. There were lights everywhere, smoke coming from different directions and plenty of weapons. It actually took me about an hour to set up the scene. I used 2 GVM led lights, one (main-front) with a 42 in Octagonal soft box and the other (fill-front side leftf) with a 9 x 35 in strip box, then back lit with 2 Goxox SK 400ii strobes with 14x63 in strip boxes. then one Godox AD200 with a blue gel to light the smoke. The smoke came in from both sides. My Canon EOS R was used with a Canon 85mm F1.8 lens. My settings were set between 1/50-1/80sec, f/1.8, ISO 100-200.
Julie - Sucker Punch - Throwback
Back on November 16th of 2017, Julie and I put together this epic set in homage to the character “Baby Doll” from the 2011 movie “Sucker Punch.” When I first worked with her I knew she would be perfect for the cosplay of this character. Her eyes, nose, lips, hair and of course body made her a perfect fit. This is the first time all 80 of these images can be seen in one place. Why 80, well because she had a flawless face and body. The only editing was spent on lighting. I used my Canon EOS 7D Mark II to capture these images with a Canon 50mm lens. The composite image was done by my studio partner at the time Juan Cruz.
Squid V. - Bedroom Cheetah
On March 12th, Squid Vicious and I got together for a animal print shoot. This was the first set, taken in the Natural Light room at HTX Mulberry Studio. As usual Squid produced some sexy ass images. These images were lit up with my Flashpoint AD 200 with a 31.5in Godox octagonal softbox. My Canon EOS R was the camera I used with my 35mm 1.4 Sigma Art.
Chloe - Wooden Throne
I had the opportunity to shoot with Chloe at my studio on March 5th. We used the wooden throne to capture these beautiful images in a semi low key setting. I used 3 Godox SK400II for this set. My main light was with a 40” Octagonal soft box and 2 with 14x63” strip boxes for rim lights. I used my Canon EOS R for this set along with Canon 85mm prime lens. A few of these images were shot with my F-stop was f/11, Exposure time 1/25 of a second and my ISO speed was at 200 and the rest was at f/2, 1/640 sec and ISO-200.

The lighting setup was my high key white setup. 3 Godox SK400II studio stobes, one with a 60” Octobox softbox as the main light and 2 with 14x63” stripboxes to light up the pure white back drop.

Joanna - Sexy Cupid
Here’s a sexy cupid that has come to spread love to all those that need it. Joanna and I got together on the 9th of February, 2021 to capture these image for a quick Valentine’s set. I had her put on white lingerie, white wings and shot her on a white background. I got the pure white background by aiming 2 Godox SK400II studio strobes with 14x63in stripboxes with honeycombs at it to separate her white clothing from it without getting bleed back. Then I lit her up with another Godox SK400II with a 60” Octagon softbox. My Canon EOS R was used with a Canon RF85mm F2 Macro lens.
ISO 100 - f/7.1 - 1/200 sec

Squid Vicious - Too Hot for Xmas
Put the kiddos to bed for this set. I had to cut some from this set to keep it PG-13 instead of a R rating. Okay maybe it’s NC-17 I don’t know. Anyway this set of Squid Vicious was taken on December 6th 2020 at HTX Mulberry Studio. This tatted beauty produces some provocative but tasteful images.

This was a spur of the moment set in which we decided to do a little something crazy. Kirstyn portrays a woman’s scorn. Waiting for her man to get home because she caught him doing dirt. Kirstyn is actually a sweet young woman pretty sure she would never do anything like this, lol. This set of images were taken at the Berry Lab, using one Godox SK400II with a 25in octagon soft box as the light source. (15 images)
