Success and Failure at the 2012 Seattle Erotic Arts Festival

I am very happy to report that my "Buck Angel" framed print from the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival has sold. The "(s)he's perfect" is still available. If you are interested in purchasing it or an unframed 8X10, please leave a comment or message and I'll get back to you. 

I'm also disappointed to report that none of my unframed 8X10 prints, which were selected for the Festival Store, managed to reach their final destination. I'm waiting for the organizers to locate them (the prints were received with the framed works).  In the meantime, I am happy to take any orders for those images at the reduced price of $100,  since I have lost out on those sales at the Festival.

Here are the four images that are available:

jackson in Seattle June 19 to 25

That's right - jackson photografix will be making a live appearance at the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival on Friday, June 22 and since I'll be in town, I'm looking for hot men to photograph that week/weekend. If you are interested, or know some deviously handsome fucker, someone with the body of a Greek god, a guy with great tattoos, or just someone that I should be talking to, please message or email me at jacksonphotografix@gmail.com.

UPDATE: 

Tuesday, June 20 is now booked from 10am - 1pm

Photo Shoot with Clayton

Shoot with Somar

I met Somar at the inaugural ruff party and knew that I wanted to have him as a model. He agreed to pose for me and these are a few of the sexy images from our first shoot.

I am excited that I have found another amazing friend in Vancouver, Matty Cockerell.

Not only is Matty a talented photographer in his own right, but he is a wonderful resource on all things photo related, a great photo companion to go on shoots with, and, as you can see by this image, a brilliant collaborator.

Expect to see more from the two of us working together.

Seattle Erotic Arts Festival 2012

Received word from the jury today about this year's Seattle Erotic Arts Festival. Here is their response:

Thank you for submitting your art for consideration.

We are delighted to inform you that you have been selected to exhibit in the 10th annual Seattle Erotic Art Festival, our biggest and best year yet. We anticipate over 10,000 attendees from June 16-24, 2012 at Fremont Studios.

Your work was among over 200 pieces chosen from about 2,000 submissions received from over 500 artists. This year we received more art submissions than ever before and competition was considerable; only about 10% of the art submitted was accepted.

Congratulations!

Especially pleased that the jury didn't only select one but two pieces.

For all the support, so many of my friends and followers have shown, I would like to say THANX from the bottom of my heart!

Photo shoot with Percy

I am thrilled with my first Vancouver shoot at my new Lincoln Studio featuring a very handsome model with a killer smile, Percy.  The test shoot came out wonderfully and we will be doing a subsequent shoot in the the next two weeks.

Photo shoot with Antonio

One of my final photo shoots in Edmonton at the El Mirador -- there's always something appealing about a completely empty space and how the lack of distraction makes the eye focus on all the subtle nuances of light, line and tone.

Exhibition of jackson photografix infrared images at the prestigious Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

I was thrilled to receive the following email a few days ago:

CONGRATULATIONS! On behalf the Visual Arts Alberta Association I would like to thank you for submitting your work for consideration in the VAAA Gallery’s 2011 Alberta-wide Open Photography Call for Submissions. I am pleased to advise you that you have been selected by the jury for the Juried Photography Exhibition scheduled to run from August 25 to October 02, 2011 in the Kaasa Gallery at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium located at 11455 – 87 Avenue, Edmonton. 

Visual Arts Alberta had over 66 Alberta photographers respond to this call with 327 images. 57 photographs were selected by 39 artists to be shown in the Kaasa Gallery in OPEN PHOTO 2011.   I am pleased to advise you that the jury selected the following image(s) from your submission:

Photo shoot with the Harvey Family

                                                               Amanda and Finn

Everytime I shoot babies or young children I have more and more respect for those who make a living from it.  Although this proved to be a great image, little Finn had begun teething just days before the shoot and we had to work hard to get him to smile.  But ... Mom always knows best.  Amanda pulled out her infamous tickle story and this was the result.

Three good reasons for a photo shoot ...

Woof Brazil with Antonio Sousa

My boyfriend, Antonio Sousa, who writes a column (entitled Vertebrae Column) for the Brazilian magazine Lado A did a podcast with Woof Brazil today.  In the interview, he discussed how we met and how on our first meeting we did a photo shoot in Vancouver almost two years ago.

Here are some of those images:
