Best of 2022, as decided by you

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present my best of 2022, as decided by you.

You might notice that there are more than ten images here. That’s because there were a few ties, including a three-way tie on day one. So here’s my top … 16 list.

Epic Outdoor Boudoir shoot with D, dancing in the mountains of the Northern Rockies near Dawson Creek BC.

Yes, that really is the top of a mountain that Dawson Creek snowboarder D is standing on top of in the middle of winter. It was a nice day, but not that nice, and so we would shoot for five minutes, then she would run back to the vehicle to warm up for five minutes.

Epic Outdoor Boudoir shoot K on the river at Pipestone Creek, near Grande Prairie.

Her mission was to look all serious and model like, but something about splashing in a mud puddle brings out the inner five year old in all of us…. Shot near Dawson Creek, BC.

M, having too much fun playing pool, or at least, playing on the pool table. Intimate Indoor Boudoir in Grande Prairie, AB.

This was a bit of a fortuitous accident while shooting an intimate indoor boudoir session with J at her place in Vancouver, I put a flash on top of her dresser, which blocked the flash from hitting her face. As a result, we are left with the shape of her body and the way she’s holding her guitar to convey the mood and emotion of the shot.

In the spring, I went down to Nashville for a concert, and while I was there, got in a shoot boudoir with a fellow Canadian, who is currently living down there.

One of the most popular images of the year. By some strange coincidence, most of you identified as naughty during the Christmas giveaway, too. Hmm. All I can see is the mistakes I made while tying, but you folks loved it. Just a note, I am learning how to tie better, and always looking for someone who is interested in being a subject of both my shibari and photographic experiments….this kink-themed boudoir session was shot at an actual sex dungeon (now closed, unfortunately) near Grande Prairie, AB.

From an Epic Outdoor Boudoir shoot down in the Lower Mainland; there’s this semi-secret waterfall I like to go to to shoot at; this is an image from a shoot earlier this year with K.

Alas, the dungeon near Grande Prairie I was renting to shoot this spicy boudoir image at has since been dismantled. If you know anyplace that would make for great kinky photos, please let me know, because, well, two of my top 14 images this year were shot in a dungeon…

This is Dawson Creek resident D, a few days before competing in a national bodybuilder competition. She got second; a few weeks later, she got first in a different competition.

I call this a debrisdoir shoot; basically playing naked in the autumn leaves. It’s one of my favourite things to shoot when the leaves change. From an epic outdoor boudoir down in O’Brien, near Grande Prairie, AB.
