I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
We all remember the scene on the train in White Christmas with Bing Crosby and company dreaming (and singing) about snow. Unfortunately, when they arrive in Vermont, there is no snow in sight. That's the thing about snow, it's rarely falls when we want, need or dream about it. Instead... that naughty Mother Nature sends it whenever she damn well feels like it, usually when it's least desired.
Jim from Studio1x had a dream of a snow, and wrote me at the beginning of January about a sexy Valentine themed shoot in the snow. Unfortunately, Jim doesn't live anywhere new Vermont, if he did, he'd be surrounded by snow, and today, under a winter storm warning. Jim lives on the other coast in the Pacific Northwest, but with a bit of a hike, can still usually find the white stuff when needed.
'My goal was to do an outdoor shoot in the snow. Unfortunately we have not had snow yet this year. We headed up to the mountains in hopes of finding some but still, no luck. We settled in a nice location that offered many different settings. I told Wyatt we would just do a quick shoot so he shouldn’t get too cold. Well he doesn’t know me well as my short shoots are about two hours. It was semi sunny that actually made it colder due to no cloud cover to hold the warmer air in.'
Jim and Wyatt had actually starting discussing a possible work collaboration awhile ago. Wyatt is also a photographer, so they had a lot in common and a lot to discuss. Attempts at a shoot earlier never came together, but last year they finally ended up doing a night shoot which resulted in some great shots. Wyatt received a lot of positive feedback from the images from the shoot so when Jim asked about a possible Valentine themed shoot, Wyatt jumped on board.
'Wyatt has an easy going personality to go along with his great body. We had great conversation all day long, he has a fantastic view on many things. With the two hour drive to find snow I think we covered many topics. He has many interests and loves pushing the limits as he poses. I really appreciate his creativity and let’s just say some of the photos he showed me of his work made my jaw drop. It was a great day.'
Despite the lack of snow, the beauty of the winter tree's and forest make an incredibly beautiful background. Jim also wasn't kidding about shooting for hours. Jim sent on an astounding thousand plus images from his day with Wyatt, featuring numerous different looks, locations and touches of Valentine red, flowers, hearts and underwear to help celebrate pay homage to the shoot's theme.
'Wyatt was a trooper, followed directions great, never complained about being cold ( but you can see goose bumps on him in some photos along with some shrinkage) 😀.'
The shot above certainly speaks to the temperature, and makes it totally understandable why Wyatt's willy wanted to stick as close to the warmth of his skin as possible. I wasn't concerned about size, but since Wyatt was a wee worried, I added a studio shot as Pic of the Day on Page 2 if you want to check out Wyatt's winky in the warmth of a studio shoot, check it out HERE:
'I’m an outdoorsy adventurous artistic person that thinks the human body is sexy in all shapes and sizes. I love shooting nude because I feel it intrigues the human mind in more ways than one. It was a little chilly during the shoot but I quickly forgot about it as we were taking great shots in a amazingly beautiful environment. Valentines Day is the Sexiest day of the year everyone should share in it.'
