Ingenue

…..Isabella is very good at the playing the role of the young ingenue, but underneath the youthfulness there’s a mature sexiness that emanates from her best pictures.
Whether she is wearing sunglasses or nothing at all, she models tastefully and with an air of elegance, taste and style…….

A symbol of erotica…….

The First Sitting

…….The very first sitting with Isabella took place just off Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. I had been searching for an appropriate location for days until I discovered the most exquisite boutique hotel in the area. The next time your in town I highly recommend Rittenhouse 1715.

Rittenhouse 1715

The atmosphere of the hotel got us in to a good mood, making it easier to make sexy pictures.
Believe it or not, I am not only inspired by the model I work with, but also the environment I work in.
I could have shot her there for days. It seemed like days anyway.
Isabella knew just how far to push my imagination and which parts of her beauty to emphasize……

She became even more at ease once all of her clothes were removed…….
To be continued……..

Amanda

…….. The studio was contacted by the creative director for one of the largest gentleman’s clubs in the area, to produce a new regional advertising campaign. Five dancers who worked regularly at the club were hand picked by the CD to model for TW during the production. One of the models was a standout, a fashion thin blond by the name of “Amanda” .

She is a twenty year old natural beauty who just recently entered the adult entertainment industry.

After the production for the club was complete, TW carefully reviewed Amanda’s photographs and realized she would be the perfect model for one of his ongoing book project’s entitled, Fashion/Fetish. He imagined her long slender legs in a pair of black fishnets supported by a five inch heel.
These are the first pictures ever published of Amanda and the first nudes she has ever allowed to be taken. It is our pleasure to introduce this lovely, personable beauty to our readers…..

Self Portrait With Nancy, 1974

…..It was a beautiful spring day in Lancaster County. I had just finished up classes for the day and called my girlfriend Nancy to see if she would take a drive with me to visit one of my professors at his house, to pick up a painting he gave to me for being such a good student. Gordon Wise headed the Art department at Millersville University, a small state teachers college tucked away, just outside the city limits of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His home was located in Mt Gretna, a beautiful area with rolling hills, lots of trees and plenty of farmland.

It took us about forty five minutes to drive from MSU campus to his place. Even if it had taken longer I wouldn’t have cared because I was driving my first car, a 1967 Camaro that I simply adored. When Nancy and I ascended the long hilly driveway, the first thing we noticed was the contemporary architecture of the home. There were enormous plate glass windows installed floor to ceiling along the first floor of the home so that Mr. Wise could enjoy the magnificent natural landscape that seduced him in to building his home in that area of Lancaster County. I stopped the car immediately and thought; wouldn’t this make an interesting picture? The glass became a mirror of our image.

We proceeded to get out of the vehicle to walk towards the front entrance. Nancy followed and then paused next to a tree to fix her dress. We were being playful in the car and she wanted to look perfectly respectable when I introduced her to the noted professor. I raised my camera to take a picture of our refection when she spontaneously hugged the tree pretending it was me………TW

……..I had just left the studio for a brief walk to have lunch with a new model when I heard a scream from the backseat of a passing taxi. “Tony, Tony, Tony” she said as I noticed a waive from the passing vehicle. I quickly turned, a familiar face for sure, but couldn’t precisely place the context. The taxi came to a stop. A very attractive woman exited the vehicle and proceeded to run towards me as if in slow motion. My heart started to pound as the day suddenly became more exciting and invigorating.

I remembered who she was. Natalie, a stunning brunette that I photographed several years earlier told me it was such a coincidence to see me that day, because she was just talking to her girlfriend about my work and that she wanted to introduce me to her. I said, “sure just call the studio to set up an appointment.” That answer wasn’t good enough for Natalie. She insisted right then and there that I go with her to meet her friend, who was working just down the block from where I was about to have lunch.
We hurried to her friend’s place of employment, a classy restaurant in the heart of town where she worked as a hostess. Natalie insisted once I saw her, I wouldn’t be disappointed. She guaranteed that i surely would want to photograph her, and also mentioned that her friend had a desire to have nude photos taken. We entered the restaurant. I sat at the bar in anticipation to meet the new subject.
When she entered the room, it was almost if all the air had left it. I could already see through the clothes as my imagination transported me to an erotic journey with the woman I just met. I did everything to maintain my cool as I became instantly infatuated.
The new subject explained that she had been talking to Natalie about having erotic pictures taken to present as a gift to her boyfriend. The couple were recently engaged to be married. Because of her employment status, I suggested it would be wise to create a pseudonym for the set of pictures, as I was certain the pictures would be published. Norma Rockwell came to mind, as she reminded me of a character that could easily appear in a perverse version of a Norman Rockwell painting.

Norma In Love

Norma and I made arrangements to meet at a small, charming hotel where the photographic sitting would take place. I asked her to bring a few pieces of lingerie from her wardrobe for the erotic encounter.
As soon as we checked in to our room I asked Norma to put some of her items on the bed. I picked a few things knowing whatever we selected had to accentuate her statuesque body. The shoot progressed innocently at first and then the sexual persona of Norma took over as she began to gently play with her genitals. All for the love of a man she was soon to marry…….TW

Jackie Strain

……..It started off as a rather inauspicious day. I was just finishing up having breakfast with my mother at her home in Elkins Park. At 89 years of age she, can’t get around like she used to, so she has a nurses aide visit her at home to take care of some of her needs a few hours a week. Mother mentioned at breakfast that she was expecting a new aide in just a few minutes, and she wanted me to meet her.

Moments later as I was clearing the breakfast table, there was a knock at the door, enter a young attractive woman dressed in a nurses uniform ready to tend to mother’s needs. This is how I met Jackie Strain. Ms. Strain was aware that I am a photographer and mentioned with discretion that she moonlighted as a model in between her full time nursing job and was particularly interested in my work. Needless to say she didn’t mention any of this to mother.
She contacted the studio to arrange a meeting after work one day to discuss her modeling interests.
Nursing was fine, it paid the bills, but Jackie expressed a yearning for something more exciting in her young life. The thought of nude modeling exhilarated her and would be a way to release her hidden desire to celebrate and exhibit her youthful body.
She expressed immediate interest in working together, which resulted in the creation of a number of memorable pictures…….

TW

Isabella Reneaux

…..The beautiful 19 year old contacted the studio via email about a year before we got a chance to meet her. It was a rainy day in New York. TW agreed to meet her for lunch at Balthazaar in SOHO. He was impressed by her bravado, street smarts and a desire to make money as a fashion model in the big city. While growing up in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Isabella dreamed of becoming a professional model.

Petite Reneaux

Because of her stunning looks and perfect proportions , photographers began to take notice. That enabled her to build a respectable body of work, which led to a variety of fashion assignments, including turns on the runway during fashion week.

Isabella began receiving requests from photograhers to model in the nude. She was not adverse to the idea and ultimately contacted the studio to arrange for a sitting with TW, naturally he was interested.

Isabella, Sunset Marquis, Los Angeles

After lunch they agreed to the parameters of the shoot. Isabella considers herself more of a striptease model and had no desire to show pink, preferring instead to leave something to the viewer’s imagination. Although petite, she knew how to pose in a way to highlight her most formidable physical asset, her natural shapely breasts. Because of her perfect proportions and shapely legs, Isabella quickly became this studio’s favorite petite model……

At Home With Becky Lewis

…..When you enter her home even on the brightest of days it’s dark. The first thing you notice are the black walls. Ms. Lewis chose black because it has a calming effect on her. Perhaps a way to escape the hustle and bustle of Philadelphia’s, Port Richmond neighborhood. She didn’t grow up in the city however, and that’s where her story get’s more interesting.

Becky grew up in the suburbs of Wilmington, Delaware, which she asserts she hated as a child. Her father an emergency room physician. Her mother a registered nurse. She absolutely adores her parents. Good schools, private schools at that, can do great things for the mind of a child. The education opened up many doors to Becky’s inherent creativity. She left the nest early however, just eighteen. College was not in the cards, a yearning for life in a bigger city, she moved to the city of brotherly love.

Fascinated by tattoo’s at an early age, the arrival in to the big city provided her access to Philadelphia’s sizable tattoo culture. Ms. Lewis has become one of the icons of that culture. You’ll be seeing and hearing more about Ms. Lewis soon……
