A few years ago, I was contacted by an advertising agency to do a shoot for a mobile phone company. They had success with a previous ad campaign using the model Milana Vayntrub, and wanted to do a similar shoot. I remembered seeing the ads, and I did some research to see how they looked and what was important to the customer. Vayntrub looked good in the adds, with a fresh face and a nice body. I took some notes.

On the day of the shoot we met in a At&t store that had been closed for the occasion. The store had different showrooms, which was ideal as the ad agency wanted to try out various shots and angles, to see what worked best. The theme of the shoot was "Sex sells".
We did some concept shots first, and then shots of Milana in different shirts and poses.

It pays to have good references in the industry. I was contacted by the agent of the actress Kathrin Winnick. The Canadian actress is known for her starring roles in the television series Vikings and Big Sky. I had worked before on a photo shoot for Men’s Health magazine.

The agent had dropped cryptic hints about the photo shoot, and said that involved travel. When I met up with Winnik she revealed that she was thinking about starting an OnlyFans page. “My fans are obsessed with my tits” she giggled. “They must all be breast-obsessed perverts!” The shoot involved several locations and also recreating some of her movie scenes, this time without her top on.

We flew to the Scottish Highlands for the shoot, and I found the perfect Scottish loch as a backdrop. After a few shots she was showing some tits and ass for her fans.

Back in the US I checked on her OnlyFans page the day it went live and within minutes it already had thousands of likes.

I like to see Paige davis. And Raquel Welch in flare up movie.
That’s an old movie! “Flareup” is a American thriller starring Raquel Welch and James Stacy. The film was released in 1969.
Raquel Welch was an American actress and pop culture icon celebrated for her beauty, charisma, and strong screen presence, rising to fame in the 1960s with roles like One Million Years B.C.. She helped redefine the image of the Hollywood sex symbol by pairing glamour with intelligence, confidence, and independence.

I did some digging in the archives and found a movie poster and some stills not previously released, maybe because they were too raunchy. Welch posed for Playboy magazine in 1979, but the fully nude cover was never released. Until now. Also, some shots of her fucking her co-star James Stacy back at the hotel while they were filming “Flare Up”.

I am finally recovering from the Sidney Sweeny jeans advertisement controversy. Being the photographer I almost got cancelled! Thankfully sanity prevailed.

It’s too bad the client didn’t use the raunchiest photos. They would have looked good on that billboard in Times Square. We tried different poses and lighting. Sidney had a blast, and so did I.

And Karim Jovian wrote the perfect apology on behalf of American Eagle.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Garcia/Bella) were a prominent tag team in WWE from 2007-2012 and again from 2013-2023, known for their "Total Divas" reality TV fame and both becoming multi-time Divas Champions, with Nikki holding the longest reign. They were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021 and are now known as the Garcia Twins, focusing on business and other their podcast.

Their agent hired me to take some promo shots for their podcast, the Nikki and Brie Show. Before the trip I checked them out online, and found these spice pics.

I arrived at the podcast studio and got a warm welcome from Brie and Nikki were there. Their energy was electric, and it was clear they were excited to get started.

"So, the famous photographer!" Brie greeted me. "Glad you could make it. We've got some hot ideas for these promo shots."

Nikki chimed in, "Oh yeah, we're thinking a mix of styles. Some normal shots of us sitting at the desk, you know, with lots of cleavage."

I laughed, "I wouldn't expect anything less from you two. So, what's the plan?"

Brie leaned in, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, we thought we could start with something classic. You know, the usual—me in a tight top, Nikki in her blouse, sitting at the desk."

Nikki added, "And then, for the more risqué shots, we want to go topless, tits out, sitting at our microphones. Nothing says 'podcast promo' like a little skin."

I nodded, already envisioning the shots. "Sounds perfect. I'll make sure to capture every sultry move."

Brie winked at me. "You do that. And remember, we want it edgy, so don't hold back."

The session was a blast, filled with laughter, creativity, and a whole lot of attitude. By the end, we had some killer shots that were sure to turn heads and set the tone for their podcast.

After the first session, Brie and Nikki were eager to show me around their podcast studio. They led me to the recording area, where the equipment was set up with a professional touch.

"Check this out," Nikki said, gesturing to the microphones and soundboards. "We've got all the latest gear. It's like our personal playground."

Brie chuckled, "And it's not just for recording, you know."

Nikki giggled, her eyes twinkling with a naughty secret. "Sometimes, we like to have a little fun in here. You know, when no one's listening."

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Like what kind of fun?"

Brie leaned in closer, her voice low and teasing. "Well, let's just say, we sometimes masturbate right here in the studio."

Nikki giggled some more, "If he only knew the real reason we love this place."

Intrigued, I asked, "And what's that?"

Brie winked at me. "Sometimes, we fuck each other with strap-on dildos. It's our little secret."

I couldn't help but smile. "That's hot. Mind if I capture that for the promo shots?"

They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with mischief. "Only if you promise to make it look good," Nikki said.

Brie added, "And remember, we want it edgy and raw."

I nodded, already imagining the steamy shots. "You got it. Let's make some magic."

After the intense and provocative photo session, Brie and Nikki were visibly worked up. Their cheeks were flushed, and their eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and desire.

"Fuck, that was hot," Nikki breathed, her voice husky with arousal. "I'm so horny right now."

Brie nodded, her gaze locked on mine. "Me too. All that teasing and posing got me all worked up."

I smirked, feeling the tension in the air. "Well, how about we take this party somewhere more... private?"

Nikki raised an eyebrow, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "And where exactly did you have in mind?"

I leaned in closer. "My hotel. I've got a room just down the street. We could continue this little adventure there."

Brie bit her lip, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "I like the sound of that. What do you say, Nikki? Ready for a night of fun?"

Nikki grinned, her hand resting on Brie's hip. "Always ready for fun, especially with you and him. Let's go."

As we made our way to the hotel, the banter continued, each of us feeding off the others' energy. The anticipation was palpable, and I could feel the promise of a wild and passionate night ahead.
