Title: Fine Art Photography? 📍 Exhibition: Artists Council Exhibit 🏛️ Venue: Artists Center at the Galen, Palm Desert 📅 Opening Reception: December 12, 4–7 PM
My photograph, Fine Art Photography?, will be featured in the upcoming Artists Council exhibit. This piece is a playful yet pointed critique of the overused and often pretentious categorization of the term “fine art photography.”
The photograph is life-size, featuring a stunning 6-foot-tall woman who is nude. Standing before the piece offers an intriguing perspective on what it might be like in her company. Nudity is almost never seen in these exhibits, making this work a rare and bold addition to the show.
Thanksgiving goes so much easier when you have kitchen help. So much more on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Take a look, there is much to see. Thanks!
This is why Apple probably won’t be calling me for their next ad campaign. I got the logo upside down. For more of my mistakes visit my website at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!
This original slide transparency features Sandra Taylor, also known as Sandi Korn, Penthouse Pet of the Month in March 1991. She famously said, “Donald Trump was AMAZING in bed’: Former Penthouse Pet reveals the presidential hopeful had his secretary track her down after spotting her in a sexy magazine spread… and he didn’t disappoint”. Along with Trump she is said to have had relationships with other high profile individuals. Following her modeling career, Sandra transitioned into acting, with roles in films such as *Batman Forever*, *L.A. Confidential*, and *Runaway Bride*. This transparency is in my collection acquired from the archives of Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse Magazine archives. Uncensored in the first showing of my collection at https://secondfocus.com/index/G0000h1LWkCCepcc More will be added. Thanks!
When I was a kid, my eyes were opened to the naked women of Playboy. But then along came Penthouse! Decades later, ‘Centerfold’ has just been published about the world of Penthouse and its creator, Bob Guccione. Guccione was also a photographer, and with these early editions comes an original slide from his archives. This is a scan of the one I’ve acquired. Kodachrome, no name, just marked ‘Test shot.’ There are more in this limited collection from his archives, and I have three on the way that are very relevant to current affairs. They are also much more revealing. I’ll share them when they arrive. Until then you can see my own nude photoshoots on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Take a look! Thanks!
From the moment the camera was invented, it didn’t take long for photographers to explore the sensual and intimate side of human expression. Man went looking for naked women.
Today, August 26th, we are celebrating National Toilet Paper Day with a unique twist! Model Aristodeme is wearing, almost, the Toilet Paper Haute Couture look in our photoshoot. Check out 25 fun photographs from this distinctive shoot on my website at https://tinyurl.com/toiletpapercouture Take a look! Thanks!
One of my all time favorite photoshoots. Kajira is what is described of the famous photographer Helmut Newton genre’ of “PornoChic”. I have devoted a gallery of 100 of her fashion Turban photographs on my website. And ten video clips behind the scenes. These are my early attempts at video, only 20 seconds each. I think they are great fun. At http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!
My very beautiful friend Dakota, the new gallery on my website Dakota in the pool floating in white sheer fabric. A series of 24 from the day of our photo shoot. Take a moment to look. I think you will remember you did. Thank You!
A red leather chaise lounge invites a break during the day. I selected 75 of one series from a day of shooting. I think the series is more intriguing than just one. On my website at https://www.secondfocus.com/index/G0000R1I.kt6G8J8
100 of Aristodeme And Her Shadow. A new gallery on my website. https://tinyurl.com/Aristodeme100 A day’s shooting of 564 photographs. There were a few themes created around a prop or wardrobe item. This is my selection of 100 of the 128 in this series. Here her shadow is a second model in the photographs and the movement and play is more than could be shown in just one. Please visit the gallery and let me know what you think. Of course on my website it is not censored Thank You! https://tinyurl.com/Aristodeme100
A tie-dye sheet I purchased from a roadside vendor. I found the perfect one-time use for it with model Maria Eriksson. A three time Playboy Playmate, fashion model for top London designers, she has also appeared numerous times in Maxim and FHM Magazines around the world. 2010 Playboy’s Top 100 Sexiest Women. Once a full time science teacher teaching Physics, Biology and Chemistry. More on my website at SecondFocus.com Thanks!
I love this photograph of Tiana. Although there are many superb photographs from our photoshoot. A full gallery of her will be here soon. One of the many shoots I did along the way. I am now making these photographs available as art prints. Send me a note at Ian@SecondFocus.com. More to be seen on my website at SecondFocus.com
1 of 100 of Amber. A new gallery on my website. https://www.secondfocus.com/index/G00001T6dGZnl5K4 A day’s shooting of 519 photographs. This is my selection of 100. Usually from a photoshoot we only select a few. Spend time with a lot of editing. But I find it sad not to show more from a shoot. The expressions, the movements, the beauty as I saw it and I photographed it. Please visit the gallery and let me know what you think. Thanks! https://www.secondfocus.com/index/G00001T6dGZnl5K4
A beaufitul naked woman wearing a bike helmet not riding a bicycle.
I just found out that May is National Bike Month. Established in 1956, the League of American Bicyclists says it “… is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to giving biking a try”. So I hope you find my photograph encouraging. Thanks!
So very many of my photoshoots that I have not shown yet. But I am working to do that now that I have more time. They will be on my website, galleries, books. For simplicity I am going alphabetically, at least for the moment. Much more of model Amber Flowers soon. My website at SecondFocus.com
The first Saturday in May is World Naked Gardening Day. I didn’t have a photograph that would fit the concept so here is one I created in AI. However I did shoot a photograph of naked gardening tools.
A beautiful woman wearing a chainmaille cape walking on a city pedestrian bridge. Created in AI. Not the same as photographing a woman in chainmaille as I have been doing a few times.
I have decided to learn to play chess and drink wine at the same time. As long as my instructor is her at the sidewalk cafe in Paris. Or anywhere actually. All AI generated.
Keeping up my interest in aviation, this was a design I thought was good for a future flight suit for women. Model Kajira saying what one might expect “Is This What You Wanted To See?” From our photoshoot.
