Hey, Steemians! I’m making a second post, which I haven’t been able to do in a while […and before 3:00a.m., which is when I’m usually finishing my first]. If only I could fit in an hour or two of drawing before bed, this would be close to the perfect day. Alas, not tonight.
Tonight’s photography, though, comes from a shoot I just did last night. I’ve mentioned in previous posts here on Steemit that I’m rounding out the “Proclivities” chapter of the Dark Pinup book I’m doing with @wcpublishing. “Proclivities”, meaning the sexy, implied nude, nude, fetish and erotic.
When we met to layout the book, the “Proclivities” chapter was closer, but overall underrepresented, in being it’s own section. Our solution was to fit in a few more sexy shoots before it goes to print in the beginning of next year. You can see more of those shoots in my previous blogs, "Fetish "Dark Pinup" shoot w/ Kitty!" or “Tonight's sunset shoot for "Dark Pinup" w/ @vermillionfox!”.
This shoot was with my good friend Masha. I’ve known her since my first year in the Twin Cities. A brilliant artist and make-up specialist, she’s assisted me on several shoots as part of the beauty team. Her mom has designed one of a kind, museum-grade jewelry that I’ve included in some of my biggest shoots with Masuimi Max and Holly Madison.
This shoot was specifically for the book and couldn’t have turned more epic than this first photo. Masha’s friend Rachel allowed us to shoot in her beautifully dark studio, filled with antique furniture, dried flowers and creepy dolls. We lit the entire set […as is typically in my shoots] with candles. I listened to Matt Elliott […my favorite musician for dark inspiration] as I shot, and this is the first edited image thus far.
More to come in the Dark Pinup book coming out next Spring. I post daily. For more photography, art, illustration and the stories behind the work, follow me here @kommienezuspadt!
Great shot! I like the dark theme.
Thanks @askaran. That's become my bread and butter :P

Thank for sharing
Thanks for the comment @good-joinned.
Oh great, I wanted to go on photography
@sagardhoke777 my blog is about half photography, half comic book and illustration. Thanks for the comment.
The shot is awesome, you nailed it and she really fit into the picture very well with the candle light revealing her beautiful face. Loving the shot, happy new year in advance @kommienezuspadt
Thanks very much @tutufaith! One of my favorite things to do with nude photography is hide NSFW areas of the body in shadows.
It is quite appealing. and this book is like a sale. And I'm sure the sales will be quite good. Thank you for sharing good quality and interesting. @kommienezuspadt
Thanks @slayer10. I can't wait for the book to come out. I'm meeting with @wcpublishing later this month to finish it before going to print.
it is section for nudity right now ?i can see that ?
I don't think so. It's all shadows. Let's hope there isn't a problem @ionutciobanu.
I always wanted to see your best work. Because I want to learn a lot about photography from you. I take photography field in making posting. Thanks for sharing. Good luck always for you @kommienezuspadt.

This is a work of art, the lighting was spot on and in way mysterious. Your great!
Very much appreciated @funtraveller! Thank you for the kind words.
Love your style man! Keep the shoots coming
Thanks @handsolo. I have no shortage of shoots to share and I'm shooting new stuff all the time. Thanks for following.
Beautiful! And dark, like Matt's music... this all makes me think of Vampire: the Masquerade. You heard of the World of Darkness?
Matt Elliott is so brilliant. Thanks @stahlberg. Really glad I found your account so early. You're contribution to Steemit art is great.
I love the photo is dark and mysterious ;)
Thank you, darling @yanes94!
was this only light with candle light?
There was also an overhead porch light that was leaking through just catching some of the model's face @alexanderjust. 80% candle light, though [...and some retouching for the areas that were too dark].
It's an amazing photo, the model is beautiful and the fantastic scene, amazing work!
Thank you @gvand! I appreciate that! <3
