2020 Girls Of AVN

I have not been able to consume enough caffeine today to write this post, but I keep trying. My brain is just not functioning because I haven’t had a good night of sleep in a week. Hopefully these photos will speak for themselves, but I know this is a post people look forward to every year so I gotta get this published. Instead of writing something thoughtful I am just gonna go through the gallery in order and tell you who everyone is and give you whatever info I think you might need and hopefully my 5th cup of coffee will kick in by the time I’m done. Let’s go.

First up is Keira Croft. I ended up going down to AVN a day earlier than planned and didn’t have a hotel booked. Coincidentally she had an extra bed in her room and she heroically let me crash. We of course had to shoot as well even though the light was pretty gross in her room. I also shot her getting ready in the morning and shooting porn girls in real life situations is honestly why I come to Vegas every year. Oh and I took some photos of her for another project as well, but keeping that a secret for now. 

Next up is my buddy April O’Neil. She’s one of my favorite people to shoot and there is a whole gallery of this shoot coming soon, but for now you just get a little teaser. We shot on the balcony of her hotel which had a great view nut I am pretty sure the neighbors had an even better view.

Next is Kyaa. I met her in the casino at like 3am and she pretty much demanded that I take her number and take her photo. I wasn’t going to say no. She is very intimidating. Also coincidentally she’s super cool looking and we took some really fun photos in the courtyard of my hotel so it worked out very well. 

The second night I was in Vegas I ran into Aiden Ashley. We had just done a really amazing shoot in LA, probably the best thing I have shot in months, and she introduced me to her friend Lucid. She was like “you should shoot with Igor” and Lucid said “okay”, and so I said “let’s get you guys naked in the parking garage right now” and so that’s what we did. Aiden got stuck in a trash can and they took a bunch of extra NSFW photos you can only see on the Girls of Driven By Boredom.

Later that same night, at like 4am, my friend Claudia Cho texted me to see what was going on. I didn’t even know she was in town until I saw on the internets that she was in Vegas. She came over to my hotel room and we took like 15 photos in 8 minutes. I’m just glad I got to take some photos using the mirrors in my room.

The next day I went to take photos of a girl named Natalie that Carter Cruise introduced me too. I had eaten dinner with them sometime between the parking garage photos and the Claudia shots and we made plans for the morning. Natalie is a designer and not a naked person, she was just hanging with Carter but was down to take some photos. We shot a ton and it’s going to be a full set later so this is just a little preview. Super glad I met her and I hope to shoot her again soon!

Later that day I shot Siri who is someone I wanted to photograph a long time ago, but she briefly retired from the industry… for 5 years. Well she is back and had a pretty nice room at the Hard Rock so we shot her on the bed. This is another full set so enjoy the preview and I will be back eventually with all her photos. 

The next day was the actual AVN Awards and I was trying to find someone to let me photograph them getting ready. I had just met Paige Owens and she was down but then realized she had fucked up her booking and had to stay with a friend that night. I went with her to drop off her bags and we ran into Gia DiMarco who is another person I had wanted to shoot and so we brought her with us back to my hotel to shoot. On the way I took two photos of Nadia White flashing me in her onsie and then did a quick shoot with Gia and Paige which is a really weird thing to write given that my ex-girlfriend is named Gia Paige. Anyway, we only had like 15 min before Gia had to leave and I think we got some really nice stuff considering. Paige stuck around and did her hair naked and so I took photos of that because I am a goddamn professional. 

After that I had a bunch of shoots cancel and the awards were over and I was real grumpy about being in town for two extra days without shooting. The Wood Rocket Brunch on Sunday was fun and I hung out with those guys on Monday too, but I had 3 rolls of film to finish before I got on a plane and no one to shoot. Fortunately Aiden Ashley had introduced me to another friend this week, and that was Alex Grey. I had wanted to take Alex’s photo forever but I had only once met her and it was very briefly. I had tried taking her photo all week but she was very busy with AVN stuff. On Monday she wanted to shoot but her car got a flat tire and it was taking her all day to deal with it. I figured she was just blowing me off but she finally texted me and I met up with her at the actual tire shop. Her friend was with her and we all got in his pick up truck and drove about 100 yards from the tire shop into a gravel pit and did a photoshoot in 10 minutes as the sun went down. I finished off all three rolls and we took some great photos considering the time. She also let me shoot her without make up and her hair totally crazy which I very much appreciated. So glad we shot and I can’t wait to do it again. We actually got so many photos between film and digital that I am gonna make this a separate set as well. So enjoy the preview and look forward to that.

Apparently the caffeine finally hit because this is over 1100 words and still need to plug Girls of Driven By Boredom. These photos have been on Girls of DBB since yesterday and there are more than 25 bonus shots that are too extra to be posted on here. This gallery is massive to begin with so you probably want to see these in high resolution with “hands free navigation”. Just saying. Sign up already.

Okay, so let’s end this and be done with AVN for another year!

2019 Girls Of AVN

One of the main reasons I go to Vegas every year for the AVN Awards is because it’s a great place to photograph people and meet new people to photograph. I love doing super quick shoots in model’s messy hotel rooms. It’s very much what I love shooting. I want people in their places just being themselves. If some nudity is involved all the better, everyone is happy. 

So every year I release a “Girls of AVN” gallery and of course this year is no exception. This gallery is both a collection of shots from the mini shoots I did, as well as a preview of some bigger sets that will be posted here in the future. What follows will be an unnecessary breakdown of what I shot while I was in Vegas in order of how they appear in the gallery. Enjoy.

First up we have some photos of cam girls Heidi V and Kristie Bish. This shoot happened because when I got to Vegas my girlfriend had yet to arrive. She had booked the hotel so I couldn’t check in until she got to Vegas so I was looking for a place to put my stuff. Heidi kindly offered and I went up to her room. Meanwhile a girl named Kristie Bish was DMing me on Twitter. She had reached out because her ex was apparently a big fan of my work and she loved my book Instaxxx which he owned. I only mention this so that I can promote both Instaxxx (BUY IT!) and my new book (BACK THE KICKSTARTER), but I told her that we could shoot an Instax of her that she could give to her ex. I mentioned that I was in Heidi’s room and she was apparently just hanging out with Heidi and came up to the room right then. We took some Instax photos and then Heidi jumped in and we took some funny digital photos. I should also mention that I have a whole ass set of Heidi from ages ago that I haven’t published because I shot them with a single LED light and kinda hate them, although Heidi look super cute so I am going to post them eventually. Moving on!

Next up we have like 5 whole photos of Anna De Ville (and a 6th photo of her dog). She was hung over and had no makeup on and her hotel room was way too dark to be taking photos, but she did have a fucking hot tub in the middle of her steps which makes no goddamn sense so I had to take her photo anyway. My guess is the 35mm flash stuff I shot is going to look way better, but the digital stuff was pretty much unuseable. 

Up next we have Bunny Colby, who I met on Twitter ages ago and we finally got to shoot. Unfortunately in the middle of the shoot I realized I had my girlfriend’s rental car keys and she had to put a bunch of stuff in her trunk so I had to leave the shoot in the middle of it. I was super bummed because I have wanted to take Bunny’s photo for longer than she’s been named Bunny, but alas. Hopefully we will get to do a longer shoot soon. All that being said we got some nice stuff and this is actually part of a much longer shoot that will be published sooner or later!

On the second day of the AVN Expo I was walking to the convention when I ran into Khloe Kapri. I stopped to talk to her because she dates my friend Kasey Warner and I got to spend a bunch of time with her last time I was in LA. We took some pretty photos that are coming soon and I think she’s great so clearly I had to talk to her. While we were talking Jane Wilde came to say hi to both of us. She was killing time before she had to have her makeup done, and Khloe was also waiting for a makeup artist so I suggested we take some photos. I ran into the convention real quick and then came up to Jane’s room where they were both waiting and smoking weed. I told them to do exactly what they were doing, but shirtless (I am an artist) and we took photos until Khloe finished rolling another joint and then we all went our separate ways. 

When I got down to the convention again I immediately ran into Jade Baker. I just shot Jade in LA and we took some really nice photos (one of which is going to be in my new book that you should buy right now). I asked her what she was up to and she was headed to her room because she forgot something for her booth. I asked her if I could come with her and we spent literally 4 minutes taking photos. This is exactly why I come to Vegas. Great content in under 5 minutes.

Next up in gallery is another full shoot that I am only giving you guys a preview of for now. These photos are of a cam girl named Scout that I took some really pretty photos of not too long ago. One of the 35mm photos I took during that shoot is both in my new book (*AHEM*) and in the 20th annual Dirty Show in Detroit later this month. Scout is great and I would shoot her anytime, but I should mention that she spent $250 on the socks she is wearing in this shoot and that is truly immoral behavior. When I publish this full set expect a lengthy diatribe on consumerism and wealth inequality. 

Next up are some photos of a girl named Sammie Six, not to be confused with Sammie Sixx. We were supposed to shoot some photos last year at AVN but it didn’t happen. What did happen was that we took a bunch of photos of her this year. Enough that these photos also are getting their own set as well. I should also mention that Sammie told me these photos feel the most “her” of any photo shoot she’s done which is honestly the best compliment I could ever hope for.

Penultimately have a shoot with Leigh Raven. I have wanted to take Leigh’s photo forever and I finally got to shoot her doing her makeup. I also shot some photos of her and her girlfriend Nikki Hearts who I recently photographed after knowing her for many, many years. They look so great together and I hope I can photograph them both again some time when they aren’t getting ready for a party. In this shoot I posted all the photos of Leigh doing her makeup and the photos of her an Nikki, but there are a lot more photos of her being real goofy and throwing Skittles around the room and then she had her friends help her get dressed and all of that is available as a separate bonus set ONLY available on Girls of Driven By Boredom!

Lastly we have a few photos of Evelyn Claire. I shot her for the first time at AVN last year and I randomly saw Black Panther with her and my friend Lucy when she was visiting NYC. I shot Evelyn in the same hotel where I shot Anna De Ville but there was no hot tub in the stairs (no stairs at all sadly). I have a whole set of her too but again those will come later. For now you just get a taste of the set (although there are some bonus dirty pics on Girls of DBB).

In conclusion I have over 100 photos for you from my AVN trip to Vegas. You can see these same photos in high resolution, plus some bonus slightly dirtier shots over on Girls of DBB. It also has that bonus Leigh Raven set and a ton of other photos all in high resolution for you to lurk forever and ever. Oh, and back my Kickstarter before it ends next week.

2018 Girls Of AVN

Here’s my final AVN week update for a while. This tends to be a popular one: Girls of AVN.  When I first started covering the AVN Awards I was mostly there to find people to take photos of, but it quickly became my beat and I have covered it for dozens of different outlets. I still would shoot photos for my website while I was there but I was mostly working as a journalist. Then a few years ago, I pitched Hustler on the idea of doing a “Girls of AVN” article that would be sort of half behind the scenes and half just naked photos of porn stars. I did that for a couple of years, and then shot a similar thing for director Greg Lansky using his models. That year and last year I shot a behind the scenes thing for Vice and the sort of sexy BTS galleries continued.

This year things were a bit different. My main gig was for Playboy which meant I had a bunch of free time to shoot my own stuff. I figured I had to do another Girls of AVN gallery just for my own website, but I also was with my girlfriend who lives thousands of miles from me, so I wanted to spend a lot of time hanging out with her. I think I found a good balance and shot a handful of mini-sets specifically for this gallery and then I also did a couple full photo shoots as well.

Okay, so let’s go through everything!

The first shoot I did was with my friend Jade. She designs lingerie and set her room up as a trade show booth which was pretty cool, but it made the room really dark because she had covered the windows. I didn’t bring my flash on day one because my plan was just to get my credentials and do a quick pass of the convention, but then I ran into Jade and had to do something quick with her. So basically there wasn’t nearly enough light to shoot her, but we managed to get some shots and I shot a ton of 35mm stuff with flash. She also had some friends hanging out in the room with her so I shot her with Aubrey Cyles who goes by ScummmyKitten. Their friend Mary Wana decided to jump in after that and we got some fun stuff like my new press photo. The photos in this gallery are pretty mediocre because of the light, but these girls are babes and the 35mm stuff should be awesome.

The next day I did a shoot with Evelyn Claire. I met her on Twitter a few months ago and I was really excited to shoot with her. I am actually pretty happy with the results of this stuff and we actually spent some time shooting so this is going to be a full gallery coming soon. For now I just gave you about 10 photos from the shoot as a little preview of what’s to come.

Up next is a super quick shoot I did with Cassidy Klein. I met her at AVN a few years ago and I just think she’s a great human. We were killing time waiting for my girlfriend to meet up with us and we decided to shoot some photos on the parking deck of the Hard Rock. I’ve shot up there so many times and I have done just about everything I can on that roof, but when we got up there we found a white hearse! It seemed like we had no choice but to shoot in front of it. The funny thing is that right as we were finishing up a second hearse pulled up and started honking at us. It turned out the person driving the hearse was a friend of mine and they had sort of a Vegas hearse crew because of course they do.

Next up are some photos I am actually really excited about. I had a cam girl stop me on the trade show floor, she flipped over my badge and said “I knew I recognized you!” She told me her name was Raya but she goes by WhiskeyKitten online. I knew exactly who she was after that and I had been wanting to take her photo for ages. She introduced me to her roommate for the week, another cam girl named Goldie Fawn. We made plans to shoot that night and when I got to their AirBnB I was amazed by the space. I took some photos of them getting ready and then we shot some weird stuff on their bed. At some point they mentioned wanting to shoot on the balcony that overlooked the city. I didn’t think it would work without a light and they suddenly pulled out one of the lights they used for camming and it actually worked perfectly. I am gonna publish all that stuff as its own stand alone gallery so I decided to just post the random shots we took before we shot on the balcony here as a preview. I think you are gonna dig this stuff and I can’t wait to see the 35mm stuff we shot. I ended up shooting them for about two hours when I had originally meant to do the whole thing in about 20 minutes!

Lastly, I got a handful of shots of my friend Cadence Lux. One of these days I am going to do a full shoot with her, but this is the second mini-shoot we have done in Vegas. We had a whole shoot planned when she lived in Philly but then she had to go fall in love and move to Denver with her boyfriend, but I forgive him because he shot my Christmas card for me. Anyway, on the last day of the convention I got breakfast with Cadence and a few other girls and we both had some time to kill so we did a quick shoot in her hotel room across the street. Cadence was half asleep without makeup and just chilling in her room smoking. It’s kinda the exact type of thing I love to shoot. Real life. We didn’t shoot a ton but I think we got some nice shots.

Anyway, this gallery is not as massive as some of my Girls of AVN in years past but there’s still 70 photos in this gallery and there’s another dozen photos on Girls Of Driven By Boredom. I shot some more explicit stuff of Jade, Cadence and Evelyn so I figured I would give you guys that stuff over on the pay site. As always photos over there are in high resolution and usually uploaded a day earlier than the free images on here.

2017 Girls Of AVN

Okay! I was waiting on my Vice AVN article to post this because there’s some crossover between this digital stuff and the film stuff I shot for Vice but it still isn’t up and it’s Friday and I wanna give you guys something to look at over the weekend so let’s do this.

I spent most of my time at the Adult Video News Awards in Vegas working on my Instaxxx book (just three days left to back it!) which means I did a TON of really quick photo shoots with girls. These served as excuses to work on other assignments as well like the Vice article I mentioned and this Mass Appeal Magazine article. But while I was doing those shoots I did a bunch of mini-digital shoots too and I packaged them all here in a massive 100 photo gallery of just babes at AVN. Let’s break it down.

I shot like 5 whole photos of Abigail Mac. We mostly worked on Polaroids but she was in my Mass Appeal article too. I took a handful of photos with this really cute cam gill named Stefanie Joy. We were hanging out in my friend’s hotel room and I shot her just sort of chilling. I with Melissa Moore while she was getting ready for a party and I randomly took one photo of her naked in a bathroom. It’s pretty funny so I included it. I tried to shoot a whole set of Bobbi Dylan but we were in a stairwell and we didn’t wanna get caught so we did it too fast. I still got a handful of nice shots, but a lot of slightly out of focus ones and shots of her blinking and stuff. Whoops.

Not sure why I decided this should be a paragraph break but I took a few photos with Ramona Flour in a parking garage at like 3am. I know Ramona because she is in charge of all the Chaturbate cam girls (and guys) so I have run into her at a bunch of events. She is real cool looking so was glad to do a quick thing with her. Blair Williams is one of my favorite people these days and she was really sick at AVN. I traded her some DayQuil in exchange for a quick photo shoot of her laying around her bed dying. I also shot some photos later that night of her getting ready for a party that she was too sick to go to.

For my next random paragraph break I shot Keisha Grey who is like the most attractive human I know. We met one year earlier and we got to shoot again this year. She is an insane person and climbed out onto the side of the Hard Rock completely naked. It was pretty amazing but it was freezing out there so she ran a bath first so when she got back inside she could just jump into it. I took photos of her in there too. Real cute.

Next up I was supposed to shoot Holly Beth but we had no idea where to shoot. Fortunately we ran into Hunny Daniels who said we could shoot in her room if it was okay with her roommates. They were down and three of us went up to her room. On the way we ran into two of Holly’s friends Jasmine Grey and Robin Mae. They wanted to shoot too.  Suddenly we had four naked girls in a room. That’s when Hunny’s roommate Jane showed up with a girl named Kissing High which seems like it might have been a stage name. She had epic boobs though. So I shot all six girls and it was great. I also did a full shoot with Holly as well.

Speaking of full shoots, I did do a few of them while I was in Vegas. I shot Holly like I mentioned and I also shot another cam girl named Moth. Moth is fucking amazing and I decided to post her full set exclusively to Girls of Driven By Boredom. It’s up now and you should check it out! I put a few teasers in this free gallery but you need to see the full Moth set!

Also included in this gallery are teasers from my full shoots with Taurus Angel and Jillian Janson. I shot so many photos of Jillian while we were filming a thing for Showtime’s AVN Awards program. It probably won’t air until the summer or something insane like that so I won’t be posting the photos until then, but I did shoot some Instax which I am sure will be shown on Showtime. She signed five of them and they are still available for sale from my Instax Kickstarter! Get them now!
