'What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.'
John Steinbeck
According to the calendar, winter is still a few days away, but for many of us, it's arrival was both unwanted and early. In many areas, especially in the central and eastern parts of the country, the long, warmer than normal fall, transitioned a few weeks ago., In it's place, heavy winds, rain and snow followed, forcing a quick Autumn exit.
Before the season officially changes, and location photographers head indoors, I wanted one more taste of Autumn, one last set of visual with crisp fall leaves and one last gasp of green. I couldn't think of a better series to close out the season than this beautiful series of Nico by Jesse from JDT PHOTO.
Of all the photographers whose studio is the great outdoors, Jesse is one of my favorites. I'm sure most FH readers are familiar with the work of JDT Photo as I often feature his incredible visual to celebrate and kick off th start of many seasons. (HERE:) Today however, Jesse's images of Nico are all about celebrating Autumn's End.
Given that Jesse shoots primarily outdoors, he doesn't really shoot much in the winter. Based in Georgia, Jesse's natural outdoor studio is mostly dead during the winter with brown being the primary color. Given he heads into the woods for most of shoots, Jesse does the majority of his shoots in the three more bright and vibrant seasons.
Some of you might recognize the striking Nico Coopa from his film work with Next Door Studios. As challenging as adult film work can sometimes be, filming is a picnic compared to sliding naked into a cold creek on a chilly Autumn day. Nico took it all in stride though, and as you can see the cold water didn't do anything to diminish his energy and enthusiasm.
