Brian Moss is a great photographer... and wonderful to shoot with.  He really knows how to capture a great photo with minimal "props" (wink wink).  I'd be happy to sign one for you  ;)


Moss has all you girls scammed into thinking that shooting in some sleazy $20-a-night motel is somehow edgy, when, in fact, the guy is just too cheap to pay for a nice room.

That's a load of crap. It's his style. Look at his gym shots - he has the same style and he built the gym to have it take on that look. He's a shit ton better than most of the other photographers shooting in "nice rooms".

I hope Jennifer didn't go swimming in that pool.

As far as I know he shoots in the girls rooms and doesnt get his own... when I shot with him I was staying at the Royalton.. I had a junior suite... yet the pictures look like its some dive...  he focuses on the model...

I don't think I've seen any Brian Moss hotel type pictures but I think rough backgrounds can make the beauty of the model stand out even more!


The top pic is a Brian Moss; the bottom, the great Amir Marandi.

Now, which pic presents the lovely Ms. Searles in a better light?

Personally, I like the styling of the first one better. It's supposed to be voyueristic and make you think you're not supposed to be seeing those kinds of images. If Jen didn't want photos like that, she wouldn't have shot with him. I've seen some of Moss' stuff cross the line from voyuer to, well, porntastic.. but most of his stuff stays away from that proverbial line.

And yeah, rough/raw images can look cool if they are styled right. Two photographers can take a photo in front of a generic wall with the same model and come out with two very different looking images. It just depends on your ideas going into it. For example, here's a photo I took ::coughshamelessplugcough:: of MJ Cooke in front of a generic, somewhat grimy, wall.

I definitely prefer her bending over like that in the first one... VERY sexy!!!

I like your style. The difference between you and Moss is that you use a rough background; whereas Moss uses a cheap background. Your women look sexy. Moss' look like...I won't say it but it rhymes with snores.

Brian Moss has created some CLASSIC photos of female bodybuilders over the years.

I like Brian's stuff more for his style that's very consistent.  I also have a preference for more industrial backgrounds that contrast with the physiques in some ways and also complement them (and I do shoot more bodybuilders so it sometimes fits a bit better with them).
