This past summer I was aproached by a photographer to do a Domestic Violence shoot with my friend Ryan. I was actually excited about the idea and started to picture how it could go in my head. When the shoot happened it wasn't what I expected. It was a "safe" version. None of the violence. So I sent a message to my favorite photographer SPRINGHEEL and told him that I wanted to re-do it and have it be more real. I sent him and Ryan the entire concept for the shoot frame for frame. I wanted them to know EXACTLY what I was going for. Both of them were in awe of the idea and excited for it. We all knew it would be a hard shoot to do both mentally and physically. But I wanted it to be as real as possible. I wanted to show people what domestic violence REALLY looks like. It was the most intense shoot I had ever done. Afterwards all three of us just sat there in tears and talked. Ryan just held me for the rest of the night and told me he loved me and kissed my head. He went to a very dark place for the shoot and it took him a few days to snap out of it. We are all VERY proud of the pictures we got. It's all very real. When he's slaming my head into the wall that was real (I had a nice bump on my head for a week), when he's dragging me by my arms down the hall that was real, when he's choking me that was real. I have no problem getting hurt or freezing my ass off or anything when it comes to getting the pictures I want. I've had to tell many of the models I've worked with to "JUST HIT ME!" 'cause I want it to look real and if it is real it works better.

We did a shoot with Visions Of Excess Studio (Boyd) before we did the shoot with SPRINGHEEL (Clint). It was all about the romance and passion. It was the story of before. When I put all the shots together in a blog on my myspace it litterally moved people to tears. They said with the pictures showing the before and then the violent pictures showing the after it made the story so much harder. A few people said they couldn't even get thru the whole set 'cause it made them so upset.

So I'm warning you now that the pictures I'm posting are of a disturbing nature. It might make you upset, or angry, or hurt. Do no look if you can't handle it. I'll be placing the whole thing in a folder.

The story is The End Of Romance
