Issue #20 is here, and things are going great in 2025! We’ve been out for six issues now, and it’s been a smooth transition to our monthly issue format. Now that summer is here, we’re finally planning our travel adventures. And guess what? August is coming up, and it’s going to be our first-ever themed issue! Summer is the theme, and it’s going to be all about everything that makes summer so awesome. In the meantime, let’s dive into this issue and talk about all the exciting stuff we’ve got in store for you.
First up, we have an editorial called “Doorway Desire.” We’ve got our lovely model Alice back, and she’s looking absolutely stunning in a cute white top and panties. The lighting is simple and natural, coming from the window in front and back of her.
Next, we have “La Donna” with the amazing Spanish model Andrea. This editorial was shot in Barcelona at an old house on the outskirts of town. The lighting is all natural, both inside and on the grounds. Andrea has been in the magazine before, and we’re thrilled to have her back. We’ve got plans to have you appear again soon!
Our new model Brooke is next in “How July Muse.” We shot this at a fantastic backyard with a pool and jacuzzi in the city. You might recognize this location because it’s been featured in our magazine before. We shot this on the same day, but it’s a completely different editorial.
Now, let’s talk about two articles. The first one is “Powerful Techniques to Instantly Calm Your Mind and Body.” We’ve got some great tips and tricks to help you stay calm and relaxed. The second one is “Glam, Grit, and Google Maps: The Fantasy of Shooting Boudoir in L.A.” This is a photographer’s perspective on setting up a great boudoir shoot.
Luci is next in “Bodyscape.” We shot this at a studio downtown with a huge video screen. I played still to it on my laptop and added some dramatic lighting to the foreground and Luci. It was an experiment that turned out to be really successful. Luci is always a natural in front of the camera, and her poses and movements played a big part in this experiment working so well.
And finally, we have our returning favorite Jocelyn in “Coastal Siren.” We shot this in Miami the last time I was there. It wasn’t the most beautiful day, but we made the best of it, and thankfully, Photoshop helped a bit. We’ll be shooting with her again soon!
Zoe, a new addition to our team, is next up with her latest project, ‘Forever in Blue’. The video was shot in a studio setting, with Zoe rocking a stylish outfit of jeans and a jeans jacket. Originally from Japan, Zoe made her home in San Diego a few years back. We’re excited to share more of her work with you in the coming months.
Enjoy all this and don’t forget to check out our website for more updates, videos, and exclusive content.
