'We ended up shooting for 7 hours which is the longest I've ever spent on a single photoshoot, but it didn't feel like it because we were all having a lot of fun.'
Jason shares that since this was Kieran's first full photoshoot, that he brought a along a friend for support. Sometimes a third party can impact the creative process, but Jason reports it actually worked out great. Because there were so many different pieces of the story, there were many different lighting changes and ensuring every scene was set up just right. Kieran and his friend were able to keep themselves busy, talking and reconnecting between each setup.
'Kieran and his friend particularly enjoyed reading the often cringy articles and personal ads in the vintage 80s gay porn mag that I got off of eBay. So many of those personal ads included the phrase "no fats no fems" which is so gross! Kieran and his friend were a delight to work with and I kind of suspect that Kieran enjoyed being naked in front of us for such a long time.'
Given my experience buying Playgirl magazine, and associated fear, I was curious if Jason had a similar experience which might have inspired the concept for the shoot. Jason responded that he really hadn't thought about a similar experience or connection when he and Kieran were planning the shoot. When I asked him however,, one did come to mind.
'When I was 14, I lived in Florida but was on a camping trip with my family in North Carolina. Just as that trip was ending, my church youth group was starting a mission trip up to Indianapolis. I wasn't going to be able to make it back home by the time the youth group trip left, so it was decided that my parents would drop me off at a motel near the North Carolina/Tennessee border to spend the night by myself (aw, the 90s) and then the youth group van would pick me up the next morning on it's way north.
I managed to sneak some gay porn that I secretly printed out at a friend's house as well as a Speedo catalog along with me. After having my first meal in a restaurant all by myself (a steak) I went back to my room, got naked, and spent the entire night enjoying a new kind of freedom. I don't think I got much sleep that night, haha! Now that I think about it, that experience was probably quite an influence for this photoshoot!'
Queries for Kieran:
What motivated you to begin modeling?
I’ve recently started feeling this urge to be seen, so I started my Onlyfans back up after a multi-year hiatus. Through luck, Jason reached out to me about doing a photoshoot and the rest is history.
How nervous were you before your first nude shoot?
I wasn’t too nervous. I’m quite comfortable nude as long as the setting is appropriate and the people don’t mind.
How did you connect with Jason for this shoot?
He reached out to me through Twitter after seeing some of my content online and seeing I was local. We met up for coffee so we could make sure we weren’t serial killers or crazy and then discussed the specifics of the photoshoot. (Side note: Wonderwood Springs Cafe is amazing.)
What was your initial reaction to the theme?
I’m a huge fan of retro and vintage themes/aesthetics, so I was super excited about the idea of filming an 80s themed photoshoot.
How was your first shooting experience?
I’ve never participated in a photoshoot before, but being the center of attention and being photographed/recorded has always been a small dream of mine. So when Jason approached me, I was excited almost instantly.
What is difficult getting into the character you created?
Honestly, it wasn’t difficult getting into character. I related to the idea of “finally getting to be on your own” as that was a big reason I moved to Portland.
What was it like to work with Jason?
Jason was a fantastic photographer. As challenging as the Polaroid cameras were and the small room was to work in, he knew what he was going for and had me positioned exactly how he wanted me along with letting me decide on some poses too!
What was your favorite part of the shoot?
My favorite part of the shoot was definitely the shower scene. I just looooove how those photos turn out and how…voyeuristic some of them are. But the bed scene was a close second
What can those who join your OF expect?
My Onlyfans has mostly solo stuff such as toys, anal, jerkoff scenes, etc, but will have collabs and more future photoshoots as they come in. Any suggestions, requests, etc are welcome in any DMs! I respond quickest on Twitter and Onlyfans, however.
