Black And White Photos Of Simple Life From Battambang, Cambodia
Battambang is described by Cambodia guidebooks as an attractive sleepy town with a few attractions nearby.

True Mekong Delta Experience In Chau Doc, Vietnam

True Self Portrait Of A Lying Photographer
This photo is a self portrait (or snap shot) of me. It shows exactly who was in front of my camera but it is not even close to who I am. Quite possibly a complete lie. "There is no truth in photography. There is no truth about anyone's person. My portraits are more about me than ...
Photographing My Muse And Favorite Chinese Model Sylvia
Why is Sylvia my muse? It is probably best to ask my pictures not me but one thing is for sure I could not ask for a more enthusiastic model. Or one with more incredible lips, deadlier eyes, depth and drama to her look and her personality. Also because she trusts me, even if the setup or ...

Dramatic Black and White Photography on Sandy Beach
I believe my way of seeing is most often a dramatic style. I feel the need to be visually challenged with unique eye catching experiences which in my case is drama. The definition of drama is: a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces. Like a car accident which people cannot ...

At first look fashion model photography in Fiji does have room for me. The basic plan about coming to Fiji was to build Sarah's portfolio and to take travel photos and tropical stock images.

Three beautiful black and white portrait photos of my favorite Chinese model Sylvia illustrate three different ways to use natural light to achieve very different looks and moods.

Black And White Night Pictures: Bikini Model On Beach
I decided to experiment with a different mood than what is the norm for Hawaiian beach photoshoots. Intimate, up close and personal dramatic black and white model photography at night.

Half Cropped Beautiful Japanese Beauty Portrait
The location for these slightly unusual portraits was lava rock walls near Hanauma Bay a famous half submerged volcanic crater on the East a.k.a. Windward side of Oahu.

Black And White Bikini And Fashion Model In Rainforest
I love black and white bikini and fashion model photos which are taken in exotic and dramatic locations. The lack of color brings out shapes and textures adding much drama and class to these photos.

Intimate Portrait Pictures Of Chinese Beauty In Hawaii
I felt the soft rosy effect added an innocent, sad, pure, dreamy feel to this photo. Perhaps inspired by cherry blossom (sakura) flowers can't really tell why but it felt fitting. I just sat from across Sylvia and took about 30 pictures whenever something interesting or nothing was happening. Minimal directions were given to the model, I ...

Black And White Picture Of Jennifer Aniston Look-Alike Model
Another "blast from the past" photo viewing experience as I am writing this post in 2009 while going through images taken at the dawn of my model photography adventure.

Black And White Pictures Of Italian – Middle Eastern Bikini Model
These photos are from one my first model photoshoots but even that is not accurate because the Italian - Persian beauty is a first time model which actually makes her a non-model.
