Hello Fellow Steemians,

Once again I decided to  to go back to 2009 to my first shoot with models, lighting  and my old Nikon D70 with it's crappy Kit lens and where I headed out to a group shootout barely knowing how to even use the camera.

I shot several models that day one of which was Starie and we got some really good shot considering it was my first time shooting with actual models. If you look at my current work you can see it's on a whole other level, but I like to look back to see how my ability, processing has changed and improved. I also like to show this so other new photographers can see that we all have to start somewhere. You can see  my old company name and Web Address that no longer exists (or if it does it's not owned by me anymore) on  the watermark as well.


Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon 18-70 f/3.5-4.5
Lighting: Alien Bee Lights with Softboxes


##### I tried to tell a story with these pictures so I added in my old guitar, the alcohol and also my chain mail vest I bought as part of a Halloween costume a few year before.

#### What Goes In To My Work/Art:
For those that don't know, I spend a lot of time on all of my photos, unlike camera phone pictures, or quick snap shots. For any shoot there is model selection, planning, equipment setup, the shoot which is usually several hours where I shoot several hundred photos, then there is equipment tear down, choosing the best images which takes a couple of hours, color grading/correction, and then I spend sometimes an hour or two on a single image retouching and creating the final look, then resizing and watermarking for the web, even my Polaroids have to be scanned in, cropped, have the dust removed, resized and watermarked, so to the people that think I'm just posting a pic or two they are not seeing all of the work that goes into that picture they are looking at.

With advanced photo-manipulation and composites that can add many more hours of work. And what also makes these images possible is the years I have spent learning my craft, the  $10,000+ in equipment + the Studio I was paying for that sadly I no longer have, and the model and Makeup Artist (when I use one) are either paid or get additional pictures which means more work for me, none of this is cheap or free it's a lot of work that I do because I love creating beautiful images.

I added this to my posts because it seems that people no longer value professional photography or understand what goes into it regarding, time, expense, etc... And some feel a camera phone picture of a ham sandwich or a selfie has equal value regardless of the difference in production time and cost. Almost every professional photographer I know has been adversely affected by the devaluation of professional photography due to mass proliferation of camera phones and the perception that all photos are created equally, so I try my best to educate people on what goes into what we do.

If you want to have Beautiful Women & Erotic Photography in your feed everyday then make sure to Follow Me, Upvote, Resteem and tell your friends about me because **Your Votes and Support fund my photoshoots.**

I'm also available for hire for commissioned work, commercial work and shoots for private collectors.
