Not really “squeal,” but they do make me talk a lot!

About two months ago a beginning model, Davie Archer, contacted me about modeling.  Every now and then we are contacted by models looking for work.  Sometimes they are professionals, sometimes beginners.  Most of the beginners don’t follow through, and I never get to photograph them.  But Davie seemed different.  I invited her to attend my next shoot, which was with Aimee, to see a real photo session with an experienced model.

After meeting Davie at Amiee’s photo session, I knew my instincts about her were right and that she would follow through.  We are now planning a photo session together, her first time modeling!

In the meantime, we have met to discuss modeling and the “biz” in general.  I talked to Davie for about two hours.  I could have talked much longer, but by then we were both tired.  I’m the same way with beginning erotic photographers.  I can talk about erotic photography for days.

So if I have so much to say on the subject, why don’t I write in this blog more often?  Clearly, it’s not because I have nothing to say, it’s because I am not a writer.  I am a photographer by trade, and a visual artist at heart.  I am a quiet man, and writing this blog puts me in the very position I despise: the public eye.  I can talk about certain subjects one-on-one for hours, but writing is different, and publishing my writing as a blog is different still.

My next blog entry will be about finding your voice. If you are a photographer, your voice is your style, and what you are trying to say, if anything.   Unfortunately for the visitors of Torrid Art, my artistic style is visual, and does not include writing a blog!  Sorry about that!
