“I used to babysit this 5yo girl, let’s call her Lola. Every day before leaving the house, her mom would give her a big kiss and ask her to behave. Lola, smiling from one ear to another, would always reply she would try her best.
You wouldn’t ever have to wait long before Lola misbehaved. She would hit her little brother, throw food on the floor, use bad language, etc. In other words, she was the most regular 5yo girl. I would remain calm and try to talk with her. If that didn’t work, I’d tell her I was going to call her mom and let her know that she was misbehaving.
Lola would freeze in fear, her eyes would water and she would scream repeatedly, I want to behave, I want to behave, I want to behave… OK, Lola, behave then, I’d reply. I will, I promise, I will, she’d reassure me. For the next few minutes she would hold her word. But you wouldn’t ever have to wait long before Lola misbehaved. Again.”

Much more at the link in my bio. Livi was about to turn 19 when we did her very first photo shoot. It was an honor.

“I had a really wonderful experience shooting with Brian! I had never done a nude shoot before and I didn’t really know what to expect, but Brian made sure to keep me laughing and comfortable the entire time. I consider myself a pretty confident person, but I’m fairly insecure about my chest. This shoot completely obliterated that insecurity! Brian’s influence helped a lot here, as he always stopped to tell me I looked great or was doing a good job. I felt so natural.
“As a female I was a little nervous about how I would feel doing this shoot, as women’s bodies are capitalized upon, devalued, and objectified every day. I am so happy to say that this experience broke those barriers for me, and although I know others will be consuming this content, it doesn’t feel voyeuristic at all. Rather, it feels like a newfound confidence in myself and in others viewing these photos.
“Finally, as an art history student, I have no issues with nudity in art. I actually find it to be really beautiful, whether it is a comment on God’s creation, a sense of vulnerability, power or something else entirely. I never thought that I could actually be that person, and without Brian reaching out to me, I would not have tried! It is such a cool feeling to know that now I am the one communicating through my own body. I am so grateful for this opportunity and I genuinely believe EVERYBODY should try this at some point in their lives. Thank you, Brian!”
I booked 18 year old Carolynne for her first nude shoot. In my pre-shoot info message I told her not to wear underwear, or clothes that would leave marks on her skin.
This is what she wore on the ½ hour bus ride to my studio, in the dead of winter.
It was love at first sight.

In 1915, Audrey Munson became the first person to appear fully nude in a mainstream Hollywood movie.
Her body was already famous: as a model, she had posed for most of the famous sculptors of the era. You can see her likeness in the lobby of the Hotel Astor and on top of the Wisconsin State Capitol dome. At the Longfellow Memorial, she is Evangeline.
This new thing of nudity on film created a dilemma for the censors. If they decided Munson’s body was obscene, the popular public art based on her figure would also have to be suppressed. A compromise solved the problem of the slippery slope: Munson would always play an artist’s model, thereby limiting any association between nudity and sexuality.
Munson starred in four films, but only one, Purity, survives. In 1993, a copy was discovered locked up in a vault in France.
She actually used a body double–of sorts. Though Munson performed all the nude scenes, a lookalike actress named Jane Thomas stepped in on those occasions when the character wore clothes.
Munson preferred not to cover up when given the choice. She wrote: “Clothes ruined us. They do harm to our bodies and worse to our souls. So few young women of today know what to do with their hands, how to carry them and how to use them in company because their clothes are in the way.”
To an interviewer, she said, “No woman who is conscious of clothing is truly feminine or truly beautiful.” That went for makeup as well, though beauty’s greatest foe, she proclaimed in a column written for the New York American, was the garter belt.
Her life was long but not happy. Scandal broke in 1919 when her landlord killed his wife, allegedly to make himself eligible to marry Munson. She fled to Canada and though police eventually determined she was not an accessory to the crime, moralists perpetuated the scandal by feeding gossip to the tabloids. (Perhaps the garter belt lobby secretly funded their efforts.)
Her reputation ruined, Munson could not find work as an actress or a model. Depressed and impoverished, she drank bichloride of mercury, surviving the suicide attempt but likely damaging her brain. She was institutionalized in a psychiatric facility, where she remained until her death, in 1996, at the age of 104.
