……….It’s funny when I look back at all the shoot’s I’ve ever done, I can look at a photo and tell you where I was in that exact moment of my life. When TW and I shoot, it’s never like work at all. We have a great repore and we talk a lot about everything. This shoot was the day before Valentine’s Day of last year. We started talking about my (then) boyfriend, which kind of got me on a roll. As the shoot went along, I was getting more and more furious at my boyfriend’s lame attempt at Valentine’s Day – so the photo’s started to get more and more like “Ha! hope you enjoy this photo, asshole!” in my mind.. It actually ended up working out great for Tony and I. We had a beautiful shoot! I did, however, call my boyfriend on my way home and we broke up that night. Sexy is a state of mind, but this photo has real inspiration behind it.

Dear TW,

.

………..I see something in this photographer and his images . Its the passion he has for his work that I adore. He is only 23 years old, yet when shooting for him he remains polite, professional and keeps a good eye. It will not offend me if you don’t post anything. Just having your input on his work would be just as nice.
I miss writing for you. I was just remembering how I lost my virginity at 16, and how that door opened up for me to explore my sexual being. I get asked how I got started doing erotica art and really its just a show of how comfortable I am sexually in my own skin.

That is what made me think of how it all started at 16, losing my virginity. From only comfortable doing missionary with the man on top to down the road having the man bend me over the counter while taking it from behind. Its always interesting to look back and to see your changes. As I can imagine you must feel the same. Looking at some of the first few erotica pictures you were proud of, to seeing the ones you are just now taking must give you a special feeling. Well, we all have our paths and I am so glad you are a part of mine. I’m proud of your work.

Ivy Red: Ten Years Later

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Charles Gatewood

……….Here are two photographs of Ivy Red, one of my favorite San Francisco models. The first was taken when she was just a kid of nineteen. The second shot was taken ten years later, after she became a famous fetish model. I use very simple photographic techniques. I shoot with old Canon F-1 SLR cameras. I don’t have a studio or any studio equipment other than a couple of lights with reflectors. I prefer to use natural light, or combination’s of natural light mixed with strobe or blue bulbs. I shoot film, and rarely use digital controls like Photoshop. I try to make pictures with depth, soul, and feeling. Lots of photographs I see in magazines are “perfect”–perfect model, perfect composition, perfect technique–but after a few seconds I turn the page and have no desire to see the one-dimensional photo again. I try to keep part of each shoot experimental, so I can avoid creative ruts and make new visual discoveries.

Ivy Red: At Nineteen

During our first shoot, Ivy posed by the mirror in my living room, and some kind of surreal magic happened. I’ve looked at this image a hundred times and never fail to find it mysterious and alive. For the picture that came later, I asked Ivy to smear her makeup, and lowered the illumination to give a “demon light” quality. What I got is more about mood than style, more about feeling than fashion. I have a print of this photo in my office, and every time I see it, I smile. The picture looks so fresh, like nothing I’ve seen before. That’s what I’m looking for in my photography.
