Earlier this year, I was asked to contribute to a new book project called "My Favorite Model". It's the brainchild of my publisher at Goliath Books. Basically, as the name suggests, he asked certain photographers to submit images of the woman they most enjoy working with.
"With "favorite" we do not necessarily mean your partner or a person you are personally close to, but a model you like working with as a photographer most. This is an anthology about professional relationships."
I had a really difficult time choosing. Honestly, this was kind of unfair. Fucked up, really. My list of favorites includes Darenzia, Apnea, Emily Marilyn, Stoya... And I'm supposed to narrow it down to one? In the end, I chose Lorraine. We've been working together for years and each time is inspirational. I love her, her look, and her ability to transform herself. Plus she's REALLY dirty. And her photo is on the cover of my book. I even made sure that all of my other girls had other photographers submitting them as favorites, just to be safe. Sadly, not all of them made it in. So, just for the record, let it be known that I love Darenzia. I love Emily. I love Apnea. I love Stoya. I love and am inspired by more models than I could submit, and that's why I have to have my own books published. =)
I got a big box in the mail the other day containing my copies of "My Favorite Model", and it's a doozy! A nice, big tome at 320 pages and 11"x7". Beautifully printed photos by myself, Octavio Arizala, Fred Berger, Derek Caballero, Bob Coulter, Emma Delves-Broughton, Katja Ehrhardt, Peter Gorman, Aaron Hawks, James and James, Dave Naz, Craig Morey, and more! Some of the models include Dragonlily, Julie Strain, Ivy Red, and Ulorin Vex (who was chosen by two separate photographers!!).
The back of the book reads, "It's all about the models. Without these extraordinary women, erotic photography would not exist. 43 outstanding photographers from all over the world share their favorite model with us. 44 stunning beauties are put in the limelight and are paid homage to by the best in contemporary erotic photography. Let them take your breath away! Adore! Enjoy!"
That about sums it up. =)
