I shot the hell out of Alison but it still wasn’t enough. I still have a lot of concepts I’d love try in collaboration with her. Unfortunately, she no longer models. It’s cool. I have a lot of images of her I can release and I’ll always have the happy memories of working with her and the photos we created.

This is my homage to Penthouse magazine in the ‘70s. I wanted a soft contrast with some grain like the images I saw in that era. This was shot with one light with some digital blurring. Bob Guccione would shoot in daylight and smear Vaseline on the lens (OK, technically the protection filter but that’s a bit wordy and it’s easier to just say lens and ’splain it if someone asks). Playboy dabbled in that look occasionally but they were always more glamorous with multiple lights and elaborate sets. @samsanchezphoto
