With the Sunshine

MODEL / Jessie Jane

In the second half of our shoot, (see first shoot here), we ventured to a dry waterfall perched on a cliff, overlooking a stunning gorge. Jessie Jane candidly recounts her initial fear, gradually replaced by a sense of courage and connection with the rocky landscape. As she immersed herself in the surroundings, she reflected on the significance of personal history and the pursuit of inspiration and beauty. Becoming a canvas for art, Jessie embraced the freedom and joy it brought to her heart. Grateful for the experience, she acknowledges Jason’s role in empowering her journey of self-discovery.

Here’s what Jessie Jane had to say:

Legit, when I went out in these rocks near a cliff, it was pretty scare. I was definitely collecting my courage on this part of the rocks. My hands tingle as i remember it. As I relaxed and knew I would never be put in any real danger, I formed with the rock around me. Working in the tunnel made me want to reach high in all things. What will your history be? Of inspiration and beauty or opposite? I very much enjoy being a canvas for art. So fun and it sets my heart free. I want to take a moment and thank Jason for this shoot. It’s done nothing but bring me out.

I Had a Dream that We Could Fly

Jason Lee captures the essence of model Willow against the backdrop of majestic waterfalls. Introduced by another model, Willow’s vibrant personality shines through—a blend of boldness, confidence, and humor. Their photo sessions are not just about capturing images but also engaging in deep conversations on topics ranging from philosophy to culture. Willow’s genuine spirit and adventurous nature make every shoot a memorable experience, leaving Jason wishing for more opportunities to collaborate.

What can I say? Willow and Waterfalls! She is a deep and true spirit. I could talk to her for hours on end and never get bored. One of the most fun things about doing a location shoot is the drive out there!

Rise Above It

MODEL / Katerina Kat
PHOTOGRAPHY / JASON LEE

Katerina’s journey is as captivating as her spirit. From nude hikes with family and friends in Eastern Europe’s mountains to traveling the globe as a circus performer, her life is a tapestry of adventure. Despite a setback, transitioning from trapeze artist to dancer and nude model showcases her resilience and passion for self-expression. Amidst the tranquil beauty of Louisiana’s Tunica Hills trail, we embarked on a creative odyssey, capturing Katerina’s acrobatic grace amidst nature’s splendor. As she dips into the water features, her innate talent shines through, weaving a story of strength, beauty, and the boundless possibilities of the human spirit.

Katerina is a fascinating lady. She was featured in a well known magazine that provided her a multi-year contract, but she shared that of all the photos made of her, the ones we made together were her favorites. Her skills as an acrobatic performer clearly come through in these captured treasures.
