In Tied Up, the photo shoot took us to multiple locations around Memphis, Tennessee.  I wanted to show the versatility of ties, that they are not just for formal occasions.  A tie can make any outfit just that much classier, even when you’re not wearing much at all… you’ll see what I mean below.

Chained Down was photographed on the rooftop pool deck of a building in Nashville, Tennessee.  Shooting at night, the city got lost, but with the focus on the model and his chains, who would have been looking at boring buildings anyway.  I wouldn’t dare to say that chains are nearly as important an accessory as a tie is, but they sure are sexy.

As I continue to grow in my career and shoot new and amazing images, I hope to still periodically bring you flashes from my photographic past.  These two series are just some of the archives I plan to share, so keep checking back!

Oh! And, by the way, which do you prefer?  To be Tied Up?  Or Chained Down?  Leave a comment below and let me know! Or at least which of the two series you liked more!  Enjoy!  -JM

Hanna brought a modern take to three distinct decades of style.  First, 60′s mod with clean lines and clean face.  Next, 70′s Hippie chic with flowing hair, a bright open face, and beads, lots of beads.  Ending with what I call 80′s Big: big hair, big make-up, big accessories, and bigger statements.

It was nearly impossible to narrow down the best images.  Picking one from each look was simply not an option.  I am so excited to present this series, please enjoy!  -JM
