Pink Lace on Anoush | Set

Anoush was so lovely to photograph, and she's such a nice person - being around her felt like a case of opposites in certain ways. I don't know if this comes through in my posts here and elsewhere, but I'm bordering on incredibly cynical, I have a pretty decent dry and sarcastic streak, and I also know a lot of odd and gross information about a variety of topics. And she's a completely kind sweetheart who wants to save the earth and thinks the best of everyone. It was a nice balance - Maya Tihtiyas and I barely got her to try a tiny piece of pu...

Anoush | Preview

I'm posting a set of Anoush in approximately 5 minutes at the 10 level! I'll be posting photos of myself by Maya tomorrow. And then self portraits! Except, something terrible happened and someone stole the camera I ordered - thank you to my fellow apartment buildiung tenants who are package thieves (it's a real and acknowledged problem). 

So...eventually I'll be able to take photos on film. Gah.

By Dre | Preview

I think Dre/Rose Mckenzie took some of my favorite photos of myself ever. I really love the dark aspect these have - it's kind of unusual in my work. 

I'll finally be posting a set of these today! I hope you like them. I also have new work from Maya - I'm waiting to upload when I get film back from her though as I really love her film work. Then I have a set of Anoush Anou that I did as well as a set of Maya that I'll be retouching either tonight or tomorrow. AND I can post my photos by Eva Selesin now as they were posted by an online ma...

In New Orleans. I have so many beautiful photos she sent to show here - I’ll be doing that soon! Likely Tomorrow I’ll be posting a couple of new sets :)

Melancholy Daydream | Set

I took these yesterday afternoon. It's possible I'll take more photos today depending on what I feel up to doing. I ended up not going to Montreal yesterday as I had some personal things to deal with, and I'm sad that I don't get to see Phylactere, Stef-des, or Lior Allay. But, it was unavoidable - thankfully I don't have this happen that often! The one plus is I don't have to sit on a 10+ hour greyhound ride tonight, so there's that putrid bronze lining. I hate greyhound, and I need to stop with the greyhound rides.

In any case, I'll still b...

Travel Folder | August 2018

I finally completed everything! It was such a process, so I hope you like the travel photos a lot this time: https://livsageasmallwoman.pixieset.com/travelfolderaugust2018/

Rough Day

I’ll post again later tonight.

A Room in Cologne | Set

I've been uploading so many photos over the last 24 hours - and trying to sync my phone to a chromebook has been less than enjoyable. But, I'm almost done! The photos I took on my last day in Warsaw, Cologne, and Paris were not syncing properly to my google drive for whatever reason, so it's been rather slow going. But, I'm 60 photos away from finishing my travel folder finally!

And here is the link to my set in Cologne: https://livsageasmallwoman.pixi...

Finally finished editing

I have all of the travel photos finished and am working on uploading them by tonight! Someone should take my camera away sometimes though because I take far too many photos of random objects that I find pretty. And apparently ever flower needs a photograph. And fancy reflections. And shadow patterns. Getting through over 400 photos and selecting then retouching took way too long...

Another from Cologne

This morning in Cologne

I’ll be posting them all once I have computer access in two days!
I was afraid I’d hate how they came out and only took twenty photos total without really looking at them until I was on the train. But I quite liked them - and it’s been a while since I did black and white, so it’s a good change from that perspective too.
I'm on my way to Paris now! I’m excited to see the Musee d’Orsay finally and might go find a flea market too. I’m not working in Paris except with one photographer - @lobbiaz on Instagram - for hosting.

On my way to Paris today

I’m thinking of restructuring my patreon soon to be more efficient when traveling. I’m finding that I tend to post a ton of sets at the beginning of the month (about 4-6) while then posting one or two near the end. What ends up being a bit mind-boggling is when people unsubscribe saying I didn’t provide the rewards. Which, I promise four sets, so that’s not accurate in the slightest. In any case, I’m thinking of having a $1 tier, $7 tier that would cover the travel photos and nude self portraits but not have huge sets of 20 photos an...

Some selfies

When I was shooting yesterday at a waterfall near Oslo, I set up my phone to take a few shots - I very much regretted not bringing my camera. So these are not the best, but sorta interesting maybe.

So here’s a small bonus for the $5 level yes :)

and I’ll be Putting together all of the travel photos while I fly to Warsaw tomorrow (where I’ll also be getting a computer cord!). 

Testing  see if it will even work. Fancy outfit...

By Photosensualis

Today I realized how much hair I shed everywhere I go because I’m staying with people who all have very short hair. So those huge hair balls on the floor can only be attributed to one human in the near vicinity - me. I also think I’m over my jet lag finally as I slept for around 12 hours since last night. And now I feel like I have a real schedule.

Of Charlotte Blanca’ near Trondheim

I got a lot of retouching done and am about to try sleeping on the train to Oslo. The man in the seat across the aisle is quite ridiculous though, and he keeps making exaggerated sounds every time he moves. He hacks and snorts and just causes a commotion. It’s a bit funny, but I’m guessing he snores really loud and that’s less than ideal. The old lady sitting across from him is silently laughing, wide-eyed and looking about for affirmation that we agree this is hilarious. Yet everyone’s asleep, so she’s just staring at sleeping bodies...

Slip Into Sunlight | Set

Some self portraits I took in a new-to-me vintage slip that is a new favorite thing to wear.

Unexpected shoot with a model today!

I’ll be able to post photos soon! Well, as soon as I purchase a new cord for my computer because mine broke! So all activities that need to be done on a laptop are behind as it is dead and I have no cord haha...I’ve had too many mishaps on this trip.

Slip into Sunlight | Previews

This set will be posted in a couple of days, and here are some previews. I'm looking forward to being able to be home and use my bathtub for more pictures (and for it's main purpose, bathing, of course).

By George Holz

I’m in Trondheim now! I’m going to try to answer all of the comments soon though and appreciate the supportive things said. I’m very tired currently though and going to sleep 🌿

Exhausted

I’m in Antwerp. This won’t be a long post, but more informational. I think I had THE STRANGEST experience of my modeling career last night. I am on mobile, so please excuse any spelling errors or formatting issues.

I arrived in Antwerp from Brussels late Friday. I went to my host’s place and was slightly confused as to how messy it was. By messy, I mean it was clearly a hoarder house. My American counterparts no doubt comprehend what this means. Suffice it to say, there was trash, debris, clutter, random objects, and furniture strewn ab...

I get to see Helene today!

These photos are from our last meeting in London last spring. But I'm working with her again today in Antwerp, and I'm very happy about it (hoping her bus is here on time though). 

And then I'll be able to share new photos from her here with you :)

In Antwerp

I went through Brussels and am currently in the second city on my tour. I’ll be here for 2.5 Days, and I have 6 shoots here in that time. Which is quite a few I think. This photo is by George Holz on his farm last week :)

Sun Spots at Noon | Set

I took this set when I was at home before the Weston/Holz workshop to experiment with how bright sun looked in my living room. I think over time I'll get better at using it, but this wasn't a terrible start I don't think. So, here is the link to the full set: https://livsageasmallwoman.pixieset.com/sunspotsatnoon/

Sun Spots at Noon | Previews

This set will be posted a couple of days from now - I'll be in Antwerp by that time!

But here are a few previews in the meantime that I hope you enjoy :)

Behind the Scenes at the Holz/Weston workshop

Here are a few BTS shots from the workshop I did this weekend in The Catskills.

I like this image, but I must say that I've never liked more than one photographer shooting me at one time. Thank god I had a few other women to laugh with about how strange many of them were acting during this particular shot. One of them actually yelled "Tushy Time" like some kind of weird frat boy at a strip club on his 20th birthday with a fake ID. It was a good thing...

Journal | On Boundaries | Aug 9, 2018

I had a long conversation today with one of my peers about an issue that has been present for a while and has seemingly, suddenly decided to rear its head.

This is more a thing I've thought about when new models ask me for references - or when any do really. I've made this post viewable at every level for this reason.

Often we think of blacklisting a person for physical harm or sexual abuse issues and then neglect to consider emotionally abusive behaviors that we give huge leeway. The following behaviors, for example, are not acceptable...
