This week the shoots came in quick succession. The day after this shoot, we had another shoot, this time with Sugar.
Sugar was great to work with, despite being 5 months pregnant. I organized everything and got some set design together and we had one quick test shoot.

The day after this shoot, Ms Zena came down to the studio for a solo foot shoot.
I was the photographer and I was borrowing a camera so it took me a little while to get used to the machine and we had a couple of lighting issues but we got a couple of sets of great, classy content in around two hours.
Ms Zena was great to work with and I hope to shoot her again soon.

Exactly one week after my last production we had my largest shoot to date. Kat9 and Thora Nang, from this shoot, joined up with Lyla Lei, from this shoot, and Mika Tan. The photographer was Felix Fotography and I filmed 4 scenes of video. Also present and in one of the scenes was Thora’s slave.
The morning before this shoot was the first time that I had felt nervous going into a shoot for a while. I was mainly thinking that it would be the biggest shoot I’d done so far and I wanted to get a lot done as we had a lot of talented people together at once. With this kind of shoot I felt that it was important to get girls working together who had not worked together before.
The day was slightly more chaotic than normal, as you’d expect with more people, but the advantage was that we were able to split into two groups and have stills being shot at the same time as the video was being filmed. As a result in roughly 6 hours we did numerous still scenes and four 15 minute video scenes.
As well as the great content we produced I was also pleased to introduce Felix to Mika and give him a chance to shoot Lyla as he did not get a chance in this shoot. I also think its great that Felix and Mika have worked together again in the time its taken me to post this review.
With anything I do I want to enable quality content to happen and I also want everyone involved to be happy. After this shoot in particular everyone was very happy and eager to see the content.

At the moment we’re starting to have regular, frequent shoots. There seem to be a lot of pretty girls who want to work with me so I’m very pleased and also proud of my work up to this point.
For this shoot we had Kat9, from this shoot and Thora Nang who Brittany has worked with but who I’d only just met recently. The photographer was Felix.
At the moment I am very content focussed - each shoot has to produce a certain amount of content or else everyone’s wasting their time. So, in order to ensure a smooth shoot every time I’m only bringing in one new person each time, see also How I Work. This philosophy has worked really well so far, this shoot was no exception.
I’m starting to get to know Mistress Kat9 very well on a professional level, I know what she is comfortable doing and in what ways I can ask her to extend herself. I love her look, she is glamourous, attractive, stern, regal and almost tomboyishly playful at the same time.
Mistress Thora Nang (AKA Cheryl Dynasty) has a very different look but is very posable. She enjoyed working with Felix and he seemed to bring the best out of her and get the perfect framing of the shot.
The specific aim of this shoot was to get some great glamour poses, this is Felix’s specialty so I was happy to let him direct the shoot to a certain degree. The main difference between me and Felix is that I come from an adult background where the sequence of stills is very important and Felix sometimes looks at each picture individually, always striving for the perfect shot. On the roof, I had a couple of suggestions concerning the sequence of shots and making the action flow instead of jumping harshly from one location to another.
My main role on the external shoots on the roof and by the local railroad was lighting. We shot both girls inside for the final sets which were much more foot-fetish focused, this is where I became more of a director of the action, suggesting poses and angles. I also set up the lighting in the studio and was in charge of props and set design.
We shot at two locations on the Britco roof, at the train tracks and in the studio. Everyone worked very well indeed together and it was a great, fun day. I enjoyed the chemistry between Kat and Thora, contrasting hugely from the chemistry with Lyla Lei in this shoot.
With every production we seem to be getting smoother. When I work with the same girl more than once I notice that the level of trust breeds greater creativity and flexibility. I can’t wait for my next production and the next new addition to my team.

This was another shoot where I was pleased and honored to act as a PA for Brittany Andrews.
The shoot was set up by Mike Raffone from Sensuous Stripteasers. Mike is very laid back but his work is awesome, he’s worked as a photographer for many years and, like Gerry Koehler of the DDI shoot, he’s shot a lot of fetish, foot-fetish in particular. It shows, some of the pics he took from this 2 day shoot are incredible from a foot-fetish perspective. The angles are just right and the lighting is good, but the overall composition is stunning.
I enjoyed the stills but this was mainly a video shoot. Most of my PA work was involved with the video in one way or another. This was a 2 day shoot on April 6 and April 11. The below pic is from the first day.

Up to this point my solo productions had been with one female talent. When both Kat9 and Lyla Lei told me that they wanted to shoot I was very happy indeed. I love the look of both girls and I think they contrast very well in the shots they did together.
For photographers I had the very talented Ernie Varela and Porno Dave, a cameraman who used to film Brittany Andrews‘ Talking Blue show, Felix also shot one scene. Dave slotted into the team very well and filmed three solo scenes with Lyla while Ernie filmed Kat9.
I learned a lot from this shoot, which I’m very pleased about because I’m definitely getting used to production. We shot 12 scenes that were a combination of solo and girl/girl, at times we shot each girl simulatneously or Lyla Lei would do some video while Kat did stills in a different room of the studio.

Everyone was very excited when DDI wanted Brittany Andrews for their cover and I felt very priviledged to be present.
We did three scenes in an afternoon and the results speak for themselves. The photographer was Gerry Koehler, who did an amazing job with the lighting and photography and Brittany was on top form and looks great in the latex.

I’d known Kiss for a while, so I was very thankful when I had the opportunity to shoot her a few days after the Tyler Stevens shoot.
I did very little production or direction but I showed up at Kiss’s place with a camera and took pictures while she posed for me on the stairs, in the bathroom and in the lounge. Anyone that has met Kiss will know that she has a great personality and energy. In this very small shoot, our limitations were mainly due to the camera I was using being very slow and me just getting used to it.
I took maybe 50 pics with the still camera and we also did two scenes of video in the bathroom. The video turned out ok and some of the stills look great in my opinion. The picture below is one of my favorites.

Up to this point I’d probably had 5 shoots where I was either the producer or PA but this was my third production.
I met Tyler Stevens when she came to the studio to shoot for someone else. I told her about what I did and she said that she’d love to come down and do a shoot when she had some spare time. She’s based in Florida so I was very pleased that she had a spare afternoon before she had to leave.
I’d been very happy with everything up to this point but this was the first shoot where we got some amazing shots and crammed a lot into a short space time. We got 4 and a half still scenes and 2 short video clips filmed in less than 4 hours. I had the luxury of not being a photographer this time, instead we had Ernie Varela and Felix Salzman, a fashion photographer we know. This is a great team of people. Ernie, Felix and myself have worked on other projects together and we’re all of a similar age with very positive energy.
Tyler and I did two very short video clips while the photographers took a break. My camerawork was steady. In hindsight I might have got closer for certain shots but generally speaking I’ve been told that I did a great job for a first time.
What made this shoot was the model, Tyler Stevens. She was amazing!! From the first moment I’d seen her at the studio I could appreciate her beauty but it was only when we began the first scene that I could see how creative and easy-to-work with she was. She worked hard and went the extra mile for the shots. I enjoyed working with her immensely.
“Easy-to-work” is the main quality in people I look for. Shoots can be stressful, I need a team of people who, by their attitude and personalities, are not going to add extra pressure and will create an atmosphere that is productive and artistic.

I forgot to add this audition to the site. I basically arranged for all the girls to come down and did some production assisting.
Brittany Andrews was auditioning girls for a DVD line she was planning to start making. The girls were Anastasia Pierce, Mya Luanna and Luccia. This was a very early attempt at setting a shoot up and it was very last minute, I got the three girls to come down on the Wednesday by sending an e-mail round on the Monday.
We did some video but this is one of the only photos I have of the day.
