Linzee Ryder

When I was in Ohio at the NFL Draft I was looking for someone to take photos of and Linzee Ryder hit me up. She lives in midwest and wasn’t too far away and was down to come shoot with me but the timing just didn’t work out. Fortunately she was in NYC a month later and we got to do a photo shoot in her hotel room. 

It was night time and the living room really only had one one lamp so we used the TV to light the shoot which is why some of the shots look completely different from others lighting wise. It’s not the first time I have shot using TV light and probably won’t be the last. I own two sets of studio lights and I still never bring them to shoots because I have no patience and I just like to hang out and take photos, not worry about setting stuff up and all that. My work probably suffers from it, but I think I benefit from it a lot too. It’s much quicker and more relaxed to shoot like that and I think you get good stuff from that vibe. 

Case in point, it was very chill shooting Linzee and I think we got to watch some Storage Wars in the process. I also shot some pretty funny stuff of her in her suitcase that isn’t part of this set because I only shot it on film, but there are some videos of it coming to my OnlyFans at some point. And speaking of OnlyFans, there are a several videos of her on there already, plus today I sent out a $5 paid message that features a longer video of her in the shower. 99.9% of my OnlyFans is included in the $4.99 a month I charge, but occasionally I have something that deserves an extra $5. And while we are out here plugging stuff, don’t forget about Girls of DBB, my photo site, that features high res shots of all the NSFW Driven By Boredom photos, just in twice the resolution and with a bunch of bonus content. Okay, enough shilling.

Aiden Ashley Returns

I have known Aiden Ashley for years and this is either the third or fourth time we have taken photos depending if you count photos of her getting into a trashcan on the roof of the Hard Rock a photoshoot. Our first shoot was at her apartment years ago and then right before the world ended we did a big two part shoot in some former military base and then on the beach, both with Leda Bear. She’s always great to hang out with and even better to take photos of. I am sure I will take many more photos of her in the future. 

With this shoot we once again returned to her place, although a different place, and she has moved again since I believe. So maybe next time we can shoot at a third home of hers. I don’t even know why I am talking about this, but look, there is a crossbow involved. Also some Shake Shack, and some beer, and some puppies. It’s a well rounded photo shoot. 

There are also a bunch of more explicit shots on Girls of Driven By Boredom if you are interested in that kind of thing, plus a bunch of short videos of her from over the years on my OnlyFans including a new longer, real sexy video of her with a crossbow that I am posting as soon as I finish writing this post. 

Speaking of, I am going to make this a short one because I have a colonoscopy tomorrow which is super fun and I have to “prep my bowels” today which means I need to finish this post before I spend the rest of the day on the toilet. Too much info? Sorry, you are just going to have to deal with the results of me getting older and older by the moment. Did I mention I have a hurt back too? Okay, moving on.

2021 Gathering Of The Juggalos Day 3

This is it! My last Gathering of the Juggalos post of 2021! But don’t think you will stop seeing juggalos from me anytime soon because my juggalo NFT series will continue and I am sure I will keep bothering you guys about that stuff. Sorry about that. Anyway, day three was my most chill day. I “only” have 160 photos for you guys today. I sort of felt like I had everything I needed and planned to photograph the bands and shoot some more portraits and shoot ICP and then be done with it but my day got sidetracked a little bit.

My first sidetrack was meeting the owner of Legend Valley, the campsite that the festival is on. I was photographing one of the giant dinosaurs that are on the lot and he started talking to me about them. Apparently they are for a EDM fest called Lost Lands that’s happening in a couple weeks. He told me he had 40 small dinos just sitting at his house. They apparently all move and I realize I had actually seen them on Shark Tank. He let me back to a place beyond the security fencing to photograph some of them. It was very cool. I even made a dumb TikTok. 

My next sidetrack was taking some photos with Ouija Macc. As I mentioned before he’s the #2 artist on Psychopathic Records after ICP and he’s managed by a friend of mine so we set up a quick shoot. I went backstage and they were loading huge pallets of Faygo for ICP’s set onto the stage with a forklift and I had an idea. The dude driving the truck looked like Stan Lee if Stan Lee were a biker and loved the idea and lifted Ouija up into the air as high it would go and I grabbed a few shots. He put it down before I was finished but I wasn’t gonna complain and I still got a couple of good ones. 

After that I finally shot a musical act. (I actually took a couple photos of Free Will too.) Lardi B performed and I knew nothing about her except her name sounded pretty funny. Apparently she went viral for doing a WAP parody. She had a set with donuts and candy behind her and as soon as she started playing the crowd started throwing food at her. I honestly couldn’t tell if they were doing it to support her or boo her but either way she took it in stride and it became one of the more memorable performances of the festival. People were throwing entire boxes of snacks at her. I got hit in the neck with a bag of cookies and just caught it, opened it and ate the cookies while shooting her set. It was really fun. There was also a unicorn. 

My next distraction was a pinata. I had shot a juggalo pinata event once before and it was pretty insane. This dude Poncho and his friends go around with the pinata to every campsite just collecting stuff to put in there. So yeah there is candy but there was also a quarter pound of weed and ton of other drugs plus every sort of weird thing you could imagine. I put one of my Driven By Boredom enamel pins in it, so shout out to whoever got that. 

After that a band called Black Raven played and I missed the start of their set so I couldn’t get in the photo pit so instead I shot their mosh pit. People were covered in chalk dust or something and it was a pretty fun scene. I actually went on IG live and filmed it which was fun since I never go on there ever. It just seemed like a good time and people could see what the Gathering was like first hand.

I spent a little while taking portraits during their set but then it started getting dark. I went back to the car to get my flash and realized I didn’t bring it. I made a calculation and decided it was worth trying to go back to the hotel. It took longer than it should have and by the time I got back it was pitch black outside and Big Hoodoo was almost done playing. Fortunately I made it back for Danny Brown.

Danny Brown is a dude I have photographed a ton of times. I actually had a meeting about doing a video for him off his first album but that didn’t ever happen. I still fuck with his music and his performances have always been fun. During his set juggalos seemed to be really vibing with him but after I left the photo pit something must have happened because he started talking shit to the crowd and kinda walked off stage at some point. I have no idea what happened and he didn’t mention it on his social media but he just threw his mic in to the crowd and walked off. Real bummer. 

Finally the festival ended with ICP and I have photographed ICP a million times now including 2 days earlier so I don’t really have anything to say about their set but I am gonna talk gentle smack to my girlfriend who was supposed to go on stage for the final song for the “Faygo Armageddon” and she chickened out and we ended up leaving before their set ended to beat traffic. I’ve done it twice and it’s the most fun thing ever. Just running around on stage throwing soda. Also shout out to Ouija for giving me his backstage pass so she could do it. 

Okay, so that’s it! Another Gathering of the Juggalos in the book. Gonna link some stuff below so you can see all my coverage. I actually have some photos in an article on Insider coming soon so I will link that here too when it’s out. (Update: It’s out.) Thanks for coming and I will see you juggalos next year!

2021 Gathering Of The Juggalos Day 2

Whoop whoop! We are on to the second day and the third update of the 2021 Gathering of the Juggalos photos. Day two features another 200 insane juggalo images with the opportunity to lurk another 100 for a small fee. Sorry I am doing you like that but these are the times we are in. More on that in a minute, but now we gotta break day two down for you.

I spent the most time at the Gathering on Day 2. I got there early because Chris Hansen, yes that one, from To Catch A Predator, was going to be speaking. I saw him when I got there and asked if I could take his photo and then literally as I lifted my camera up they called his name. I took one bad photo of him but it ended up in Rolling Stone so what are you gonna do? I didn’t listen to a ton of the seminar because it honestly made me uncomfortable to watch 100 people listen to a talk about child sexual assault but he made it very clear he was down with the clown and considered himself a juggalo so that happened. He also hosted the main stage later that night. 

After his seminar the same tent hosted the Faygo wet t-shirt contest and I figured I had to cover that for you guys. Plus my friend Contessa aka Cunt Mafia was in it. She came with me to the Gathering in 2018 and decided she was a juggalo and has come back every year since and it’s amazing. She’s a musician and I got her in Rolling Stone too which was awesome. Anyway, Clownvis was hosting the wet t-shirt contest which made for even better photos, but it was in a horrible red tent which makes it a HUGE pain in the ass to color correct so instead of doing that I did what all bad photographers do and just made them all black and white. I also decided to only include a small selection of photos from the contest at the end of this gallery. The rest, including some VERY NSFW ones, will be only available on Girls of DBB. It’s over 100 photos in high res so it seems worth whatever it costs to join my site. There’s also a video from it on my OnlyFans.

Okay, after that there were bands. I apparently missed the first one and then Whitney Peyton was up next. She got really emotional about performing live for the first time since Covid and then she climbed the crowd to perform in the sky basically. I couldn’t help but dig her after that. Up next were a band called Knockout Kings who were filling in for a band who got Covid. They started with just three members on stage but then added three more as their first song went on and the stage got so crowded that they crashed into each other and knocked one of the guitar players over. After that was RA The Rugged Man whose music I legitimately like and he brought a bunch of juggalos on stage with him which was pretty fun. And after that was King 810 who I was not a fan of musically but they put on a good performance and as I have mentioned before that’s the important thing. Lastly was Ouija Macc who after ICP is the biggest artist on Psychopathic Records. I didn’t shoot great photos of him because the stage lighting wasn’t great but I linked up with him the next day and shot some portraits of him so those will be here tomorrow (or maybe Friday).

After Ouija we went back to the hotel again because I am pretty sure I had sun poisoning or something and we were fucking exhausted. And I think that’s all I got, except to tell you to buy my juggalo NFTs and to go look at some photos!

2021 Gathering Of The Juggalos Day 1

I spent several hours today trying to organize these thousands of Gathering of the Juggalos photos I shot over the weekend into little categories of updates and I just couldn’t do it anymore and I gave up. I am going to organize these photos into just three more updates by day of the festival. That means today you are going to get over 200 images, all taken last Thursday. Tomorrow I will get up all the photos I took on Friday and on Thursday you will get all the photos I took Saturday. That’s the plan at least. If you haven’t already make sure you check out my last update, which was just my favorite portraits from the Gathering back when I thought I was going to break this up into a bunch of galleries.

Okay, so let’s talk about day one! I got there a couple hours before sundown because I needed a nap after a 7am flight to Ohio. The music on the main stage doesn’t start until six but I wanted to get some portraits before then so I did some laps and showed my girlfriend Shannon around. The festival was missing some of the elements like The Busey Beauties and Psychopathic Radio but it did have a bunch of giant dinosaurs that are meant for the upcoming Lost Lands EDM festival, but I guess you can’t really hide a dinosaur so the juggalos got to hang with them. 

The mainstage musical line up started with 9 Dead and then a dude named Nascar Aloe played and he barely sang any of the words to his own music but he put on one hell of a show so that’s all I care about. I have shot so many music festivals I honestly tune out the music and just pay attention to the performance and his was great. After that Kid ‘N’ Play performed. Seriously, that happened, and honestly they were really fun. DJ Paul from Three Six Mafia was after that and he’s always great. I’ve seen him perform a bunch at past Gatherings and one of the few artists at the festival I actively listen to. Vanilla Ice played after that. He was actually on ICP’s record label for a while and has a juggalo tattoo and has played the Gathering a bunch before. He was bitching about the internet and cancel culture and how great cops were but on the plus side he did bring out a Ninja Turtle. Lastly ICP performed their double length album Bizzar/Bizaar in its entirety. Or at least I assume they did because we were exhausted and after I photographed them we went back to the hotel. Sitting on my ass for a year and a half has not been great for physical being and I was pretty much dead by the time they played. 

Oh, I don’t know why I didn’t mention it earlier but Steve-O from Jackass was the host of the first night and he’s a perfect fit for the Gathering. He did a bunch of stupid human tricks and cut his tongue with broken glass and set his hair on fire. He also showed his butthole to the juggalos not once, but twice, per their request. Don’t worry I didn’t upload those pictures but I did put them on my OnlyFans as a joke since the same day OnlyFans announced they were getting rid of porn on their porn site. 

Speaking of NSFW stuff, there are a couple NSFW pics in this gallery but you can see all the NSFW juggalette portraits on Girls of Driven right now in high resolution. It’s not a ton of photos this year, but they do exist. 

Okay now it’s time for you guys to look at WAY too many photos. Seriously there are over 200 of them and my website is barely functional these days so good luck.

2021 Gathering Of The Juggalos

I just got back from Thornville, OH where I was shooting the Gathering of the Juggalos for The Daily Beast, Rolling Stone and Brooklyn Vegan… and of course this site. It was my 11th Gathering and I took it a little bit easy this year because I had my girlfriend with me and I still managed to shoot over 4000 pictures. I have so much stuff for you guys to check out but we are gonna start things off with the hits.

This update is just a gallery of my favorite juggalo portraits and that’s it. There will be so many more to come but I just wanted to get some stuff up today, link my incredible clients and announce the second drop of my Juggalo NFT series. Oh surprise, more NFTs. This juggalo series is going to be an ongoing series with each drop having a different theme and Series 2’s theme is juggalo portraits just like this update. In fact every NFT in Series two just so happens to be in this gallery. Oh, and did I mention these NFTs are very slightly cheaper? I wanted the first drop to be a little more expensive but for the time being they are going to be listed at .2ETH.

Anyway, I got so much juggalo madness coming for you guys this week so just hold on and I will be right back. Now go click some links below and check out all the photos that exist in the world already.

Juggalo NFTs

On March 1st, the 20th anniversary of Driven By Boredom, I released my first NFT. They were animated gifs of the Driven By Boredom logo. I released it primarily because the NFT community feels in a lot of ways like the early days of the internet and the community that exists around early 2000 websites that were essentially blogs before anyone was calling them blogs. But I also released it because I knew I wanted to make photography NFTs, but I wanted to do a trial run before I did them and I think I learned a lot.

I did 3 editions. I did a 1/1 that I sold for 2ETH which at the time was a little over $3000. I made it for me, I just wanted it in my collection, I didn’t think anyone would actually buy it. I then made an edition of 5 for .2ETH which was about $300 and then finally an edition of 20 at .02ETH for about $30. Amazingly the 1/1 was pretty much the first thing to sell. I sold a few of the other two as well, but I realized a few important things 1) Collectors want 1/1s 2) It’s probably a little too early for a lot of my fans. I had some real trouble trying to on board people. 3) Cheap NFTs are a hard sell because the gas fees to buy them are often too high to justify. Why would you pay $40 to own a $30 NFT? 

After the sale I took all that ETH and bought other NFTs with it. I wanted to be part of the community. I also started working on my next NFT. I didn’t see a big space for still photography yet and I thought animation was the way to go. I made a series of 5 adult themed animated photo NFTs and was getting ready to drop them in April when crypto crashed. It just didn’t seem like a good time. And then I waited longer, and waited longer, and I kept putting it all off because I was scared it wouldn’t do well and I didn’t want to make mistakes on the blockchain that would haunt me years later. You can take down a blog post, you can’t remove an NFT that you don’t own from the blockchain. 

During those months of me worrying about what to do and when to do it I have lost most of my ETH, learned more and I have seen photography NFTs become collectable finally. It’s a lot of landscapes that seem to be popular, but the idea that people want still photography got me very excited. I still plan on releasing my animated NFTs in the future, but with the Gathering of the Juggalos happening this week I felt like it was the perfect time to launch my first NFT with the biggest project of my career, the 12 years I have spent documenting juggalos.

The first girl I ever kissed was a juggalo. I mean she was really a punk but she liked the Insane Clown Posse. A lot of my punk friends did for some reason. They weren’t great musically but neither was most punk, but they were also hilarious and listening to them felt like watching a terrible B horror movie. They were the sonic equivalent to a Troma film. But when I went to college I didn’t know anyone who liked them and I didn’t really think of the band again until 2010.

When “Miracles” came out and everyone was making fun of it I found myself defending ICP. I was trying to explain that they were in on the joke and you just didn’t get it. At some point I Tweeted about how I wanted to go to the Gathering of the Juggalos that year and my editor at the Village Voice, Camille Dodero responded. She was in and we were going. We were willing to pay our own way but by the time we were done it was a cover story and changed both of our careers forever.

Since then I haven’t missed a single Gathering of the Juggalos. I have covered the event for dozens and dozens of clients including a lot of big ones. Of course I did, the Voice, LA Weekly, a cover for the Riverfront Times and a bunch of other Alt Weekly coverage, but also Rolling Stone, Vice, Playboy, Hustler, Kerrang, Daily Beast, Boing Boing, TMZ, and countless others. The last ever episode of @Midnight had a segment on my juggalo photos and The Late Show ran one of my photos last year. A thread I did about juggalos became a trending moment on Twitter and a photo I took of a butt with clown makeup on it has haunted me for years. I took the most famous photo of ICP without their make up and was the only photographer there when juggalos attacked Tila Tequila. If you do a google image search for juggalos it’s absolutely filled with my photos. I would guess that if you have ever seen a photo from the Gathering of the Juggalos there is probably a 40% chance that I took it. 

Long story short is that this is the most exhaustive project of my career and my life wouldn’t be close to the same without juggalos. They have welcomed me into their family and while I don’t listen to the music very often, I certainly feel like I am a juggalo myself after all these years… at least juggalo adjacent. I feel like this is a perfect place to get started with with my NFT journey and it’s a good way to give back to some of the juggalos in my photos.

I am holding 25% of the sale price of every juggalo portrait I sell for the subject of the photo. I own all these images and I don’t need to do that, but I feel it’s the only ethical thing to do. If it’s a photo of a bunch of people or a celebrity or if there are some people in the background of a shot I won’t be giving that out, but any primary person will have two years to claim it and I will be doing my best to contact them.

Now let’s talk about how the series works. There will be 17 drops (17 is a very important number for juggalos) and each series will have 5 1/1 images each with the exception the first and last series. The “genesis” drop will have 10 images and the last one is a surprise. I have no timeline for the series other than I would like to time the ending with my book release. 

I have a lot of ideas for this project if it is successful with both physical and digital rewards for the collectors of my work and some fun ideas that I don’t even want to talk about yet, but even if the project isn’t the hit I am hoping for I will still complete the series. I plan on building a website with information on every NFT I ever make at some point but I need to sell some of these things first. But I think NFTs are the future and even if a lot of the buzz dies out I will keep going. I am in this for the long run, just like I was when I started blogging more than 20 years ago.

Lastly we should talk about pricing. I think NFTs are very hard to price, but I know that if I was doing a 1/1 print I would sell it for several thousand dollars, but I also don’t really know how to do a 1/1 as a photographer. It would be like selling a negative which is something I would never do. NFTs give you a way to do that as a photographer that we never had before. So I do value these “jpgs”, as people like to derisively call them, fairy high, but I also want to sell them so I am hoping around .2ETH is a good place to start. As the series go I will be raising or lowering prices depending on demand but 9 of the 10 NFTs in this drop are going to be .217 ETH, honoring that lucky juggalo number once again. I also will be selling the first NFT in the series, a portrait of the Insane Clown Posse, for .517 ETH as it will be officially the first photo NFT I ever release. I don’t know if it will sell, but I am very glad to hold onto it in my collection if it doesn’t.

If you want to learn how to get cryptocurrency in order to buy one of these, you can read my last NFT post for a breakdown of how to do it. The easiest way is to to download an app called MetaMask and buy ETH directly from there. If you live in NY state or some other places with terrible crypto laws you will need to download CoinBase and buy the ETH there first.  You will need to buy more than you think you need because you will have to pay a fee to transfer it to MetaMask and another fee to mint the NFT. I am not exactly sure how much because it depends on gas prices, but they tend to be cheaper when it’s late night in the US. 

One final thing I am gonna drop down here because I know the environmental impact of NFTs is something people are concerned about… just do me a favor and google how much energy YouTube uses. You wouldn’t attack someone for making a YouTube video so don’t attack an artist for making an NFT. 

Okay, that’s it. Take a look at my Juggalo NFTs here. Happy collecting!

Whitney Wright

While this is technically the first gallery of Whitney Wright photos on my website, it’s not the first time I have taken Whitney’s photo. The first time was almost 5 years ago when she had first moved to LA. I was in town working on my Instaxxx book when a photo shoot fell through. I Tweeted something about looking for a last minute model and Whitney responded.

By the time I picked her up from the model house she was staying in while getting established in LA it was already dark. We couldn’t shoot in her place and I didn’t have a good location for us so we just sort of drove around. Since I was working on my book of instant film I focused mostly on Instax photos and 35mm point and shoot stuff since it was dark and that camera was the only other camera I had on me with a flash. The shots that ended up in my book were fantastic photos of her, wearing only high heels, climbing a chain link fence. They were really great. We also went into a gas station bathroom and shot in there. Those photos weren’t as great but honestly it’s something I would like to do again. It’s a pretty fun and real gross idea for a location. I also took a bunch of photos of Whitney at the the LA version of the Instaxxx book release party. She was there pretty much the whole time and signed a bunch of books for me and I really appreciated that. 

Anyway, fast forward a bunch of years I was in LA back in June and I was there visiting family so I only had time for a few shoots and once again they had to be at night. Fortunately Whitney had just moved into a new, very well lit place with a ton of amazing plants. We just caught up for like an hour while she ate a late night dinner and it might have been after midnight by the time we properly started shooting, but once we started we banged out some real lovely stuff. It’s rare that I actually like more than a couple of photos on a shoot but there are probably 10 shots from this shoot that I love and that’s not even counting the 35mm stuff we did. Whitney just is so good at posing. She will be just goofy and being a normal fun human being and then suddenly she will just hit you with the eyeballs and you are like “oh damn”. Models like Whitney make being a photographer real easy.

We also got some pretty sexy video, some of which is already on my OnlyFans and more of it will be up today and even more will be up at some point in the future. Speaking of some point in the future, at some point in the past these photos were posted to Girls of Driven By Boredom but then I went out of town and had no WiFi for 4 days so I didn’t post them for free, so if you want to get access to my work before anyone else sign up over there. There is also a bunch more explicit shots over there because Whitney kept aiming her butt at me and obviously I am not gonna stop shooting when that happens, I am not a monster. 

Oh, lastly I should mention that this set is HUGE and I probably should have broken it up into two parts, but I didn’t, so you’re welcome. There is however a totally different vibe to the shoot at the end. When we finished shooting Whitney wanted to play with this light bar and so we got that out and messed with it and pretty soon I was imitating nightlife photography from 2008 and dragging my shutter and we were just fucking around but we got some real fun artsy stuff that you should check out. Some of them are legit hilarious. I can’t post any of that below because it’s all NSFW, but make sure you go look for it in the gallery.

Okay, that’s it.

Sabrina Nichole

When I was in LA back in April I got invited to hang at some fancy LA mansion by Carter Cruise. She was taking some photos for her and her roommate Natalie’s clothing brand LA After Dark and this cute girl she had just met, Sabrina Nichole, would be there and I should come by and take some photos too. I was of course down, but I was wondering whose place it was and it turned out to be my old nightlife photo buddy Kirill aka Kirill Was Here’s place. I hadn’t seen that dude in years because he got banned from Twitter and a bunch of Instagram accounts and clearly we aren’t shooting a lot of the same events anymore. But I went over there and their place was awesome and he was super hospitable and pretty much everyone there was either a photographer or a model and it was a great time. He also had a nugget ice machine that I purchased when I got home that has changed my life. 

Anyway, I met Sabrina over there and she was super down to take photos with me while the LA After Dark shoot was happening. She is real hot and is real easy to shoot and was in a bikini and a sombrero when I got there so very little effort was required on my part. I still didn’t take the most fantastic shots because it was super bright and I have made a life where I bring nothing to shoots and do everything myself and the idea of having someone hold some sort of light reflector during a shoot is beyond my ability to comprehend. But again, none of that matters because of the insanely hot person, amazing location and the incredibly fashionable Assholes Are Forever bikini. Sorry, I just felt like I needed to promo Kirill’s brand cause he let me shoot at his place. 

I should also mention that one of the people that work for Kirill happens to be another real hot human named Aly Eckmann. She jumped in at the end of the shoot and we took some photos of both of them together. Those photos are all on Girls of Driven Boredom, although I did include two of the shots in this gallery so you get the idea of what is over there if you happen to sign up. There’s also some 35mm stuff from the whole day up there too but you gotta go back a few galleries for that stuff.  And while I am plugging my pay sites there is a video of Sabrina up on my OnlyFans today as well as another one from back in April when I first shot her. I still have one more little BTS video to post and that’s got Aly too so be on the lookout for that. 

Lastly, unrelated to Sabrina, I just wanted to mention something. If you look at my site this is the first post in a month. While I am admittedly slacking with updates, I did post a shoot from two weeks ago, but I had to take it down. Someone apparently sent the photos of her to her family and friends and that sucks a lot. She was psyched to be modeling and making some extra cash and was doing shoots all the time and then someone did that and she took all her accounts down and this thing has been ruined for her. That is not the first time that this exact thing has happened and it’s so fucked up. Nude modeling and most other sex work is so needlessly stigmatized and it’s so upsetting to me that people can be made to feel bad about something that made them happy for some bullshit puritanical moral ideas. I took everything down for her because I always do when people ask, and hopefully other photographers did too, but she shouldn’t have to worry that a decision she made to take some is going to haunt her. Any other career you can try and then do something else with your life and no one will care, but with sex work it follows you, and it follows you for no fucking reason. Sorry, this shit just upsets me so much. Whenever I shoot with someone who hasn’t done nudes before I always tell them to imagine who is the person they would want least to see them in the world because they probably will because some garbage person will do exactly this. So fuck anyone who would send someone’s photos around to try and hurt them, and fuck anyone who judges someone just for having the courage to post their nudes on the internet. I know I don’t have that kinda bravery. 

Okay, that’s enough of that, let’s get to some photos.
