• Portraitmami & Rhivnnun on a Stormy Hillside

    When Rhivnnun visited Charlotte last year they stayed with Portraitmami and the three of us met up for a creative day of photographing each other! We are all primarily photographers but we all model occasionally so we took turns shooting each other at Portraitmami’s apartment and ventured out to this grassy hillside off of a main road to take these photos. The sky was brilliantly stormy and we even got rained on at the end of the shoot but it was so worth it because of the fantastic light and dramatic sky! We even saw a wild turkey in the field nearby! haha

    CURRENTLY: I’ve been taking aerial yoga classes, not to be confused with aerial silks because they’re totally different things, but I LOVE any chance to be in silks! I absolutely live for swinging, being upside down, and playing in silks, and aerial yoga has been a great alternative to aerial silks, which I miss a lot but it’s more expensive and further away from home. Now I REALLY want to convince my dad to let me rig up some silks in our living room or something. He’s not super into the idea but of course I’m super into it… hopefully I can convince him that it’s a worthwhile thing to do and it shouldn’t be in the way because we can just drape them into the upstairs hallway when I’m not using them! I have this somewhat thought out already, if you couldn’t already tell haha =]

    I’ve been working really hard on finally going through my self portraits from this past summer. I took over 20 different sets and I didn’t touch them at all for so long because it was more important to me to get photos back to other models first. Plus I was kinda overwhelmed and needed to get to a place where I was mentally and emotionally ready to go through them all instead of just forcing myself to do it when it wasn’t the time yet. Well, I’ve officially organized ALL of them and I’m in the process of editing them! YAY! Most of them I won’t even edit because even though they’re digital (WHAT?! WEIRD, I KNOW RIGHT?!) I’m really happy with how they came out without needing to edit them. Some of them really do need edits though, such as the Cave Entrance set I took at Colorado National Monument because the light kept changing. In case you’re wondering, I shot all digital self portraits this past summer because of time and where I was. In National Parks and other public places, as you could imagine, I needed to be really quick with the amount of time I spent nude (sadly). It takes me about 2 minutes to take 50 digital self portraits. It takes at LEAST a half an hour to shoot a 36 exposure roll of film. This is why I shot digital self portraits this summer: time/speed/ease. I’m really excited to start sharing them with you soon!

    Video editing is next on my list of backlogged content to go through. I’m really looking forward to being fully caught up! I’m getting closer all the time!

  • Studio with Tiffany Nacke

    I recently released a double exposure photoset of me & Tiffany Nacke taken by Antisocialdisposition… this photoset was taken that same day! I still have one more photoset to share with you from this creative studio day, the film photoset I took of Tiffany!
    CURRENTLY: I’ve been in a weird place emotionally and I posted a bit about it on my instagram story yesterday (Tuesday, you know, bc I always get these posts ready early so that I’m NEVER late). As much as I absolutely love sharing my art with you, it’s becoming increasingly clear to me that something is missing. I am feeling the need for some kind of shift, I just don’t know what that is yet. I know I want to focus more on love, healing, and inclusion, and less on “oh hey look naked people” because that just feels like it leaves so much room for the sexualization of my images instead of the celebration of humanity that they’re actually created to be.
    I don’t plan on stopping creating, I’m just taking a break for a few months (through the end of the year) on creating anything new. I created SO MUCH this summer that I have a big backlog of photosets and videos to edit/upload so I know I’ll still have consistent content to share with you even while I’m not actively creating. I think the big to do list that I have is part of my stress, and I know stepping back from doing so much will give me the time and space that I need to sift through everything I’ve made this summer. I’m really excited to share all of the photos and videos I created on my trips!!!
