Casting Photo One
……….Layla and I met at Club NL, an Amsterdam hipster lounge packed with young beautiful people who enjoy the Dutch night life.
Casting Photo Two
She apparently was already familiar with my work and asked if I would be interested in casting her for one of my shoot’s.
Casting Photo Three
She stopped by the apartment a few days later for a few candid shots………..
On Location Ibiza
……….As soon as my producer Suzaan Talib spotted her on the beach, I knew that she would approach the dark skinned brazilian beauty. Suzy never minced words when scouting for models. She just has a way with people that is very forthright, honest and convincing.
Suzy wandered over to where Cindy was set up on the beach, just yards away from our location. Within minutes she returned to introduce us, a lovely woman from South America who was visiting Ibiza on holiday.
The next day I arranged to take photos of Cindy at Bambuddha Grove, a lovely restaurant and lounge just outside the center of town.
South American Beauty
She was quite the exhibitionist, very quickly removing her clothes and accesssories one article at a time.
Portrait of Erica
……….It seemed for a while that every time Nick called the studio he had another beautiful friend that wanted me to take their picture. The shoot with Dez turned out fine, thanks to Nick. So when he called to make arrangements for me to meet Erica, I immediately asked him to bring her over to the studio for a look see. I was not at all disappointed with the introduction. Erica and I connected immediately, and we agreed to a portrait sitting at a friends house on a sunny summer afternoon.
She was fashion model thin with long legs, a shapely bottom and a very alluring facial structure with beautiful full lips.
Alluring Face
She was very comfortable with her body and enjoyed being photographed in the nude.

From Christianity I got good and bad, heaven and hell, woman as mother and temptress.
From Culture I got Cubism, Modigliani, film noir, horror movies, comic books, Heart of Darkness and Interview With a Vampire.
Image 3
From photography I got Diane Arbus, Meatyard, Joel-Peter Witkin and Bob Asman.
From meditation I got mystery and inner effulgent plays of light.
All of this strikes me as I look at my images of nude women from the past 3 years: idealized, exaggerated, absurd, deformed, decayed, darkness & shadows, unnatural, shame, innocence, desire and temptation, hidden and exposed.

Notes on my Polaroids: Posted by Stephanie Vovas
……….Ever since I was a young girl I have loved Polaroids. I have about 1500 of them, dating all the way back to when I was little. To me, Polaroids are like precious jewels, you cannot recreate them. I think it’s one of the greatest inventions of modern times.
I was a Polaroid junkie and If I didn’t have any Spectra film on hand I felt uncomfortable, because that meant I was unprepared for any beautiful, sexy, interesting moments that might come up.
Spectra 3
I want to make a book of all my Polaroid work someday. I look forward to meeting the right publisher. I can’t wait to try the new film that is coming out. Thank God Polaroid is making a come back!
