Police officers are people too. I have had the pleasure of working with several models who work in law enforcement, education and the legal field. Every person, no matter their work, should be free to enjoy artistic nudity. We decided on a gold-painted sash across Kandice’s body for this shoot. The misty humidity added a lush, fogginess to our shoot.

You Alone can Break my Fall – Uninhibited Self-Expression with Mayye

MODEL / MAYYE
PHOTOGRAPHY / JASON LEE

In the realm of photography, there exists a powerful symbiosis between the model and the photographer, a dance of creativity and expression that unfolds frame by frame. In the case of Mayye and Jason Lee, this dynamic partnership transcends the conventional boundaries of the art form, igniting sparks of confidence, spontaneity, and uninhibited self-expression.

As Mayye steps into the spotlight of Jason Lee’s lens, she sheds not only her inhibitions but also her clothes, baring her natural form with an electrifying sense of liberation. It’s a moment of raw vulnerability, yet it’s imbued with an undeniable aura of confidence and self-assurance. With each click of the shutter, Mayye’s essence is captured in all its unadulterated glory, a testament to her fearless embrace of her own beauty and uniqueness.

For Jason Lee, Mayye is not just another subject to photograph; she is a muse, a source of inspiration, and an embodiment of the uninhibited spirit he seeks to capture in his work. Her spontaneity and willingness to push boundaries resonate deeply with him, making her one of the most enjoyable collaborators he’s ever encountered. In Mayye, he finds a kindred spirit—a fellow artist who shares his passion for capturing the fleeting moments of life with authenticity and gusto.

Their shoot by the tranquil shores of the lake becomes a canvas upon which their vibrant energy and camaraderie are painted in vivid strokes. Against the backdrop of nature’s serene beauty, Mayye’s presence electrifies the scene, infusing it with a palpable sense of vitality and joie de vivre. With each pose and gesture, she exudes a magnetic charm that captivates the viewer, inviting them to join her in celebrating the joy of being alive.

What sets Mayye apart as a model is not just her physical beauty, but her inner radiance—a luminous quality that shines through in every photograph. It’s the sparkle in her eyes, the curve of her smile, the graceful arch of her body—all brought to life by Jason Lee’s masterful lensmanship. Together, they create images that transcend mere visual representation, evoking emotions and telling stories that resonate on a deeply personal level.

As soon as we got to the shore of the lake where we were going to shoot, Mayye pulled off her t-shirt and dropped her gym shorts, revealing all of her naked glory. She was ready to model and is one of the spunkiest, fun people I’ve worked with.

Jason Lee

In the world of fashion and glamour, where perfection is often equated with beauty, Mayye and Jason Lee dare to challenge the status quo. They celebrate imperfection, embracing the flaws and quirks that make each individual unique. For them, beauty lies not in conformity, but in authenticity; not in hiding behind masks, but in revealing one’s true self to the world.

As the sun sets on their lakeside shoot, casting a golden glow over the water, Mayye and Jason Lee share a moment of quiet satisfaction. They’ve created something special together—something that transcends the boundaries of art and touches the soul. In Mayye’s fearless embrace of her own truth, and Jason Lee’s keen eye for capturing the essence of that truth, they’ve forged a partnership that is as timeless as it is exhilarating. And as they pack up their gear and prepare to depart, they know that this is just the beginning of a journey filled with creativity, passion, and boundless possibility.

MODEL / BRIGETTE
PHOTOGRAPHY / JASON LEE

Jason Lee’s photography session with Brigette becomes a testament to navigating emotions through art. Despite years of scheduling attempts, their shoot finally aligns on a rainy day. Undeterred by the downpour, they embark on a wet hike to a steamy river location. However, Brigette’s unexpected decision to remain clothed instead of proceeding with artistic nudes poses a dilemma for Jason. Faced with disappointment and disillusionment, Jason confronts his emotions, ultimately choosing to embrace the day’s somber atmosphere as their thematic backdrop. The resulting images encapsulate the raw intensity of their shared experience, inviting viewers to connect with the emotional journey captured by Jason’s lens.

Standing there dripping wet — after setting aside a full day to shoot and planning this off and on for three years — I wanted to give up. Honestly, I was feeling a lot of negative emotions. I like to use this shoot as an example sometimes of how you can work through your own emotions as a photographer through art. The effects of the gloomy day were working on both of us, so we decided to use those powerful emotions as our theme. Can you feel it in the images?

However, the transient nature of such locations is highlighted by the fact that a hospital now stands where they once shot, underscoring the fleeting beauty of untouched landscapes.

Megan is probably one of the most amusing and entertaining models I have ever worked with on a shoot. You never know how long a beautiful nature area will last. There’s a hospital now where we did this shoot. This is the same place I photographed Mayye. Like the title of this post says, “Today is all you ever have.”
