99. Sometimes I shot the Girl Next Door
You know, I went through phases like any other artist does. Picasso had
his blue period, and I had my girl next door period. I think early on, I
would build somewhat fancy sets and dress the model in sexy lingerie or
maybe like a hill tribe girl, but later, when I shot a set, I didn’t use many
props or fancy outfits or anything, I just shot the girl in her own clothes
exactly as she appeared when she showed up at my door. Usually they
came over with makeup on already, so as soon as she walked in the door,
she was good to go. I’d just ask her to go sit on the bed, and we’d start
talking to each other, you know, getting comfortable, getting to know
each other, and I’d be shooting the whole time. Maybe I was just getting
lazy, but then again, as far as I’m concerned, a pretty girl is already sexy
just the way she is when you see her on the street, you know, a little
makeup, jeans and a t-shirt. I mean Playboy was ok, but all that styling
can take away from the real natural beauty of the girl. I mean the typical
professional model shoot is model arrives, gets makeup done which takes
an hour, and hair, another hour, and then the mannequin is ready. I
don’t mean to say that I never dressed my models with sexy lingerie and
put them in a fancy set because I did, but I also shot the girl exactly how
she was when she arrived, in jeans, a t-shirt and a bit of makeup. So, the
shooting itself went something like this. The Thai cutie would come over,
a bit nervous, looking so cute and sexy in her tight ripped jeans and tiny
little shirt, and my equipment was already set up, and I’d just tell her to
go sit on my bed, or in a set that I had prepared, and just like that, I’d
start shooting. The first shots of the session were of the girl exactly as she
arrived in whatever she happened to be wearing, and as I’m clicking
away, I’m telling her to start to take her clothes off, and little by little, she
was getting more and more naked. I’ll tell you this. On my end, it was a
real turn on to do it that way. My philosophy was always, if I get turned
on, so will the world. I just happen to think that a nude photo of a pretty
girl is way more sexy if it looks like the so called pretty girl next door just
came over and took her clothes off? The other thing is, I gave the girl
very little direction, so consequently, her true beauty came out. During
the shooting, we’d just talk and laugh and have a good time, and that way
you get a real smile, not some manufactured smile, if you get my drift.
It’s way sexier, and it’s fun. Nothing wrong with a little fun with work is
there. And to be perfectly honest, those girls couldn’t speak English
anyway and I couldn’t speak Thai, so the only real communication going
on that day between the two of us was actually quite primitive. I mean, if
we were going to incorporate a dildo in the shot, I’d actually go over to
her and show her exactly what I wanted, if you get my drift.
Unfortunately, I can’t show that stuff in this book for obvious reasons.
I’ve put together some examples of some of these girls next door. I shot
these for Asian Fever, Oriental Dolls and Hong Kong Penthouse, and I
guess those guys agreed with my take on it, because they always paid me
handsomely for the stuff. Here are a couple of girls that dropped by from
right next door.
