natural lighting in studio

 recently i had a skylight installed in my studio, the light  is amazing,
so i asked my dear model ArtSonata to do a few fast poses to test the light ...
here are a few samples :)

the night of fire

from recent a session with ArtSonata

Odette portrait

another image from my work with the beautiful model Odette

out of fog

again some playing with texture and color on classical fine art nude compositions
Model Odette

Haunted

"There is a splendor dissatisfaction in the crimson wave of red
That brightens at the moonlights touch
Stripped bare of the shore that guides it home
The hollow taste of freedom lingers where love used to lie,
Ribbons of sand dancing in the soft stretch of wind
Reaching the waves as tender droves in the night
Washing all sins goodbye"

Anna Catherine

Nettie R Harris

again from Nettie's last visit
hoping she gets to this part of the world soon <3 <3 <3

portrait of a muse: Odette

yesterday finally I had chance to work with the beautiful young lady  Model Odette
smart,  talented and with an exceptional  integrity

lust

playing with light form and texture, model is my dear friend Wara

Visiting Stranger (book of sacred prostitute)

a little big ego trip for me!
been thinking about this concept for a long time and here it is.
i like this so much, already  planning to do  diffident variation of it soon :)

to find "ME"

finally had a chance to work with Anna Catherine as she came to visit LA for a short time :)

Sohrab and Gordafarid

inspired by the Shahnameh (Book of Kings), a masterly rendition of Iran's national history in verse by Ferdowsi....

NevaehLleh: torso

again a classic composition from my last session with NevaehLleh, she is such experienced model when she poses for me, I get so many exquisite images <3

for you

For you, I thought I knew love
In foolish partners, in hap-hazard encounters
In strangers, and dangerous affairs

For you, I made abundant mistakes
Growing and learning carefully, carelessly
Redefining my insides to the out

For you, I'm taking a chance
Hoping you'll forgive and understand
Knowing none of it was planned

For you, I spent this lifetime
Searching until I found 
Your eyes, your words...and those hands.
For you, my thoughts race
This heart refuses to beat
And for your reply...I wait...


"sandy love"

statistical casualty

i read the Iranian woman who was to be stoned to death is now going to be executed ...
an it reminded me of a work i did a while back ...


here is a link....

after election madness

we just finished with madness of elections ...
so here is one of all times master artist Charlie Chaplin

Prayer for Gulf

with all these news about the gulf spreading around I welcomed this as an alternative solution from Japanese  scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto:

Prayer for Gulf

"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the waters and all living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.

To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, planktons, corals, algae ... to ALL living creatures ... I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I Love You."

Feel free to send it around the planet.
with much love and respect

faith

the beautiful Nettie R Harris
