D. M. Gremlin Productions - Forums

[UniqueNudes]

I thought it might be nice to start a thread to get to know each other a little better, since the profile only tells so much. As I am the one to start it, I guess I'll go first:

My name is Richard Rasner, and I am a photographer (although I graduated UCR with a BA in music and I also photograph a lot of new up & coming recording artists, so you may see me pop in on the recording forums from time to time as well.)
I currently reside in Las Vegas, NV, after 10 years of shooting in the Southern CA region. I still go back to CA twice a month or more to shoot, and often it is at DM Gremlin Studios. In fact, one of my largest shoots to date took place there last year in a series we entitled "The Long Beach Marathon" (you can see a short 6 min film shot entirely at DM Studios from that day here: )

I have one best-selling (though now out of print) book out, and another new book scheduled for a Summer 2008 printing. I have been featured in galleries worldwide as well as locally (including a recent show alongside Gremlin at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art.) The name of my studio is "Nakayama Studios" but almost everyone knows me by my website/online moniker "Unique Nudes."

Anyhow, I am always looking to meet new people, especially new models to model (with a name like "Unique Nudes" I always have to keep fresh faces coming in) and other photogs to collaborate with. I am not one of those "These are my ideas and I'll never share" types... If you want to know how I shot something (even my specialty techniques like invisible ink blacklight) just ask! I love to help, seriously.

Also, any friend of the DM Gremlin Studio team is a friend of mine. If you find yourself in Las Vegas needing a shoot location, studio, model, assistant or just want to hit some great clubs (I have guest list privileges for all the hot spots in town) contact me at info@uniquenudes.com or 909-519-4456 and I'll be happy to hook you up.

I guess that's all for now. Now tell us about you!

[Battledress Paint N Body]

Ok, Wendy said for me to get my ass over here... so here I am.

I paint. Most notoriety has come from painting on people. Go figure.

My primary tools are airbrush.

So, what do I do besides paint people and things? I teach Bodypainting. Again, Go figure.

Yay, nice to see you here! Feel free to jump on in in the "events" thread for the open house - and wherever else you want of course. These forums are small, but we're getting the ball rolling. At least if nothing else for now it's a place to discuss the studio's events between people involved.

You gotta get some stuff up in your deviantART page! So does Frenzy - I have to bug him about that equally. I know he's at SF Fetish Ball next couple days, so I'll get on him for that when he gets back.

Meanwhile, I love my top 12 on Model Mayhem right now - how many avatars of MEEE in a row can I have? Me, Adam, you... happy fun.

Any more thoughts on African Grey tattoos coming to life? I'm all for that one, whenever you want!

So blah blah, talk to you soon!

[LuminonPhotography]

Well Howdy!

I've always been attracted to photography and I am NOT the most artistic person. In fact I'm handicapped by being an engineer (any of you who have close friends who are truly engineers will understand!). This is the second time in my life I have "taken up" photography and now with a bit of worldly experience I'm finding wee bits'o moments where I capture something others don't roll their eyes at when they view it.

Now you'll have to go see my post about last night's open house (30 May 2008).
