“If you can believe it, I’ve never really had the best self-confidence. I’ve done a few photoshoots in an effort to expand my portfolio and express myself through my body and art. And through it all I’ve learned a lot about who I am & what I want. The shoot I did with Brian was one of the most freeing experiences, and honestly made me feel the most beautiful I’ve felt in a long time. The whole experience was so empowering! I was really nervous because this was the first partial-nudity shoot I’ve ever done, and I didn’t persona...

Blurry but look at those trees!

While sorting my Bella photos, I saw this shot that's focused on the background (I don't intend to edit and use it), but I just wanna show you folks how beautiful the greenery is, here in Oregon! This park is a large part of why I moved here. (Update: I made a new tier for out-of-focus imagery in the future! :)The model messaged me today to say she was chatting with another gal I shot with, and just talking about what a comfortable and respectful experience it is to shoot with me, and that meant a lot. The support you folks give here on...

Working on my Bella set

Going through all my photos with Bella and sorting them. We shot some images that need her review, so it's taking a little longer.It was a cold day!

Skin comparison

For those curious what my policy is on skin editing, generally I leave permanent things, and only remove impermanent situations from the skin. As an example, here's an edit I just completed from a recent job I was hired for. (Shared with permission.)Edited and unedited:At my own discretion, if there's something about the skin that detracts from a particular message I want to convey from an image, I may edit that, too, but that's not my norm.

Abstract 2013

Instagram didn’t know these showed nipples and up-close vagina (with Christmas lights!), so they didn’t get deleted. Yay, abstractions.Censorship is dumb, though.

What Crystal wrote

So much love and respect for this long-time Instagram friend I got to meet and shoot with! Our shoot was rather spontaneous, and here’s what she wrote:“Let me tell you a story of a girl who grew up being taught to hate herself. Doing something like this has been a breakthrough for me. They might try to take these pics off [the web], but I had to share because I’m amazed at how much I love them. I can’t thank Brian Daniel Baker enough; I am on a journey learning to love myself (and it has been a really long process), but I am taking baby...

That style I used to do a lot

One of the hardest things…

… is when a friendship you highly valued, blows up dramatically over a misunderstanding—when you’re trying to help and you get treated as if you were a despicable human being instead—and when all the drama could be avoided if only both parties cooled their jets and simply listened to each other and tried to understand each other, asking questions.
