Naked women. Really, do I need to say more?

I do?

All rightie then.

*settles in comfortably*

I did not start out with the intent to photograph naked women. It literally just happened. The first time the Mad Model and I ever got together for a shoot, a session that *I* thought was just going to be a portrait shoot, it took a completely different turn when I turned around, camera in hand, and found that she’d taken off all her clothes and was naked in my front room.

Yeah, I stood there like a dumb ass for a full minute. Bless her heart, she did *not* laugh her ass off at me. I sat my ass down on the hearth. And I shot.

And I got my first negatives back and fell in love.

Everyone is a mystery. Everyone. Somehow, when someone is naked in front of you and you turn the camera eye on them, if they are willing? Small miracles can occur. It’s not all puerile and juvenile. It can become transcendent. Light falls on human skin in ways that it doesn’t on anything else.

When the light is right, we glow. It’s not an optical illusion. Or if it is, don’t tell me how it’s done.

I think it’s the soul.

Only when we are naked, sometimes, just sometimes, we allow ourselves to be fully revealed. It’s a gift. I don’t take it lightly.
