I got a call from model Tyler Stevens, she asked if I would come over to shoot with her at a LA hotel. When I asked about how come she was staying at a LA hotel. She informed me that she had flown in with her boyfriend for a few days. I asked what he did and she told me that he was the editor of Razor magazine. I would be only too happy to come over to shoot if I could get 15min of his time so he could review my photo work. He agreed and the next day I went over to do the shoot.
I had taken with me some hot lights with some stands plus my camera’s and lenses for which I thought I might need. Part of the thought of the hot lights was that they do not flash and if it got to be later in the day for the shoot I would not be seen with the flash going off in the room. I do not need any unwanted attention when shooting nude women in a LA hotel. I had also taken some clothes with me as I know form my experience that I work better if I know the clothes. We started off with some soft sexy shots with feathers and robe and worked into underwear and nudity. I then moved up to some light fetish clothing to crank the looks up a bit. When we had finished they told me that was fantastic. I thanked them and said goodbye and thought nothing of it. I did give copies of all the images to the model on DVD’s.
The following week I got a call from editor from Razor and he asked if I would like to shoot an editorial for his magazine (Paid). I asked what he would need me to shoot and he informed me it would be a men’s layout with one big request. That I was to use Yvette Nelson as the female model with the two guys & could Yvette be in underwear and a sexy little dress. (Yvette was the Fredericks of Hollywood model) at the time. I am a friend of Yvette so I made a call to her and she agreed to the shoot. I went about booking the two guys and the magazine secured the location and makeup & hair girl for me to use on the shoot. The shoot went super as I had with me my DP who gave me the lightning I needed for the shots. The rest is in the published pages of Razor magazine. That’s my story of how I got to shoot for Razor magazine.
