'We always play around depending on the venue. Jim and I also both love shower shots so that’s always a go to on my list!'
Last month, while spotlighting his naked Twister shoot, (HERE:) I mentioned how much I am missing featuring the work of Jim from Studio1x. Jim made a big move earlier this year and is still in process of getting settled and finding new studio space. Jim's work has been a regular part of the site for several years now and I look forward to seeing new work when he starts shooting again.
In the meantime, I asked Jim if he had time to dig into his files to share images from some of my favorite shoots and of some of my favorite models that he's worked with. Jim welcomed me to send on a list. Jim may have regretted that offer as I quickly shot back a LONG list of favorites. At the very top of that list was his work with Jordan.
I'm sure many FH viewers remember Jordan and his mouthwatering Peaks & Cheeks from his previous appearances on the site. I was first introduced to Jordan by photographer Gordon Nebeker and the 2018 Lake Powell shoot. (HERE: & HERE:) A couple of years later, I featured Jordan's work with Implicit Ditto. (HERE:) I couldn't help but notice that no matter who's behind the camera, Jordan not only loves to get naked, but also get soaking wet.
How did this shoot come about?
Jordan
I had followed Jim on IG for quite some time and during my first trip to Seattle we were able to coordinate a shoot. We’ve managed to connect each time I've visited the city.
Jim
Jordan and I had worked together in the past and since he was coming to town again , he asked if I had any interest in working with him again. He was getting a hotel room and suggested we could do a shoot there if I was interested. I am always interested in working with such a kind soul with an amazing body.
Was there anything specific you wanted to capture?
Jim
Since we had worked together in the past, I wanted to try to do some video work as mostly my work is just photos. Other than that we just used the area that we had to work with. The room was very small but we made the best use of it.
Jordan
My hotel room downtown which was VERY small but we worked so many corners of that room and utilized many of the hotel ‘props’ for the shoot too
What most struck you about each other's work?
Jordan:
I’ve always appreciated his work. When I like a photographers style of work I try to connect with them and express interest. If they return the interest we’ll set it up. Jim has always been beyond easy to coordinate with and comfortable/respectful when shooting
Jim:
Jordan has a beautiful body and knows how to really move during a photoshoot so it takes very little direction, it was just team work and brainstorming new ideas as we go. He did bring some different outfits that we used but each were not left on for very long as really wanted to showcase his body and looks. It is not only his looks and body but he is such a kind soul and I enjoy just talking with him.
How long was that shower?
Jordan:
Haha I was only in the shower for about 20 minutes. It was an open glass shower so Jim was actually shooting from the hotel room entryway
Jim:
The shower photos were the first we started with, he had been up late the night before and needed to shower for the shoot so it was a perfect place to start. We spent probably 15-20 mins in the shower doing the photos and some video.
What are your thoughts on working with one another?
Jordan:
I love that Jim and I are always able to create unique and special content, Any model would be beyond lucky to work with him. I’m looking forward to connecting with Jim again down the road.
Jim:
Jordan is such a natural and works very hard to keep his body looking the best. With us already having worked together once before, and having doing a facetime shoot during the lockdown, we were able to just jump right into the shoot and capture so many wonderful moments.
