Zivity artists love to shoot sets based around the holidays, and winter is one of the best times of year for it.  From sets shot out in the freezing snow, to beautiful ice queens and so much more, I wanted to explore some of my favourite winter sets!

I love freckles.  A little sprinkling, through to a face full of those beautiful little markings, I love how unique they are on each individual, and we have some stunning freckled ladies here on Zivity!  A lot of the time, people photoshop freckles out, and it is such a shame, I wish I knew more models with freckles.

You might well see a Zivity artist!  I am so inspired by nature, and how it is always changing and progressing, and it seems many of our Zivity artists agree, so here is a feature all about the beauty of nature, always made better by a beautiful lady.  Whether is the open desert, the wilds of a forest, a cold river or a beach in summer, Zivity models have posed everywhere!

ps.  if you want a particular theme for a blog, suggest it to me!  And if you want to know how I find all these awesome sets, it's easy, the search bar is fab!

In my ongoing theme of blog posts featuring luscious ladies, long hair seemed a given!  Some of our Zivity artists have incredible hair, from bright colours, to being completely bald, and to hair that gives me serious long hair envy.  Today is all about Zivity's own Rapunzels!

I love pale girls.  Their glowing, pearlescent skin, the contrast it gives them, beautiful!  There was a time when everyone thought they had to be tan, but now I am so glad we have realised pale is pretty too!

There were so many other fabulous Zivity gals I could have featured for this, we have an abundance of translucent skin!  Coming up in features soon will be blondes, curves, red heads, long hair and more, I take suggestions ;)

The coolest thing about Zivity is that there is literally a different kind of model to suit every taste, we have glamour girls with tans and bouncy blonde hair, we have heavily tattooed and pierced alt girls rockings mohawks, we have plus size minx's showing off their curves, and models of every age, from 19 to 54!  For my next series of blogs, I am going to feature some of these amazing ladies in all these catergories and more, and hopefully find you a new favourite lady!

Let's start with a personal favourite of mine, the modified girl!  Tattoos, piercings, brandings and more can be found on these lovely Zivity artists, accentuating every slink and pout.

I love how different and beautiful all these lovely creatures are!  Want to see a certain feature?  Do you enjoy pale skin, or blondes, or glamour models, let me know and I will make up a feature.

Hi!

I think I have seen the inside of planes/hotels/rental cars/convention halls more than my own house in the last couple months.  I know that being busy es bueno, but Lord, whomever took me up on my request that I have an interesting life shouldn't been so literal.  LOL!

Like a couple other posters have stated, I look at pretty much every set posted on Zivity.com. Usually I take away thoughts like, "oo!  have to work with that model" or "dang, gonna have to watch that photographer in the future."...but the first time I logged into the site, back in the beta days, I discovered AddictiveImage's work.  Pardon my french, but fuck, that man can take a picture of a nude girl.  Pretty much knew at that moment that Zivity was a place that would make me strive to produce a better set every time I picked up a camera.  

Conan just got into a motorcycle accident and is not as active here lately as he would like, so I figured that it was a good day to point out my favorite sets he has posted

As cool as it may be, a DeLorean DMC-12 is an underpowered alumium pig in the 80's automotive history books.  AddictedImage and Mischa manage to let it glow and gleam with all the potential awesomeness that the Back to the Future Series only hinted at:

Siberia

(for the record, Mischa could pose next to a beat-up Prius and make it look cool and bad-ass.)

Like most of the members here, I'm a Watson fan...love her in front of the camera and enjoy hoisting a beer with our favorite redhead anytime of the day or night.What a way to meet this Texan petite ball of fury than her debut set with AddictedImage - almost monochromatic palette with all the soft fabric filling the frame.  So much promise glimpsed in 56 frames.

 Parchment Revival

One thing I really love about Zivity is the free-form set guidelines. Unlike other sites I have shot for in the past, here you can stretch out and pretty much post what you need to get your point across.  Conan's open love letter to Mischa when she was going thru health issues in "Darth Vader..." was just made me wish I was a better person.

Darth Vader doesn't wake up at 7am

Go look at Conan's sets, drop a note (and/or some votes) here and there and remember, if there is someone that needs to be pointing a camera at things and showing the world the twisted inner beauty - it's Conan.  

(I won't lie, I wrote this blog for purely selfish reasons, I want to see more of his work wherever & whenever I can.)

Every so often, I find a set on Zivity that moves me. I look at the images slower. I think about the artists. I try to imagine how the set came to be. I would like to share some of these with you.

Why hello there Dear Zivity readers.  I'm new here on this blog so welcome to my first post.  (Ok, so technically not my first post, but I'm doing this out of order, so pretend with me!)  For those you are unawares I'm one of the photographers on zivity, a Philadelphia (and all around vagabond) Ambassador, and a lover of Gingers.

Did you know that scientists believe Gingers could be going extinct?  True story, I read in an article over four years old.  Fear not though, we here at zivity have them well documented for future gingerless generations, and there is rumors of a technology that is capable of changing blond and brunette hair into ginger hair.

That said I would like to share a few of my favorite sets featuring the fire engine reds, strawberry blondes, and ginger hair we have all come to know and love.

Firstly it is absolutely mandatory you check out Reflection featuring GingerBreadGirl shot by DearestGrudge.  This set is shot so softly and gorgeously it looks like it jumped out of a decade long ago.

The third stop on our train through Ginger Town is DaneHalo and QueenofSalvation's set Strong Embrace.  The lighting on this set is to die for, and the wallpaper background is awesome.  Throw Dane into the mix and you have a set that will knock your socks off and dye them red while you aren't looking.  (Yep I'm pulling out all the weird redhead inspired jokes today)

Oh well regardless of my ramblings this set is amazing in all sorts of ways.  One Addicted Image is to zivity sets what Ferari is to cars, and it shows in this one as brilliantly as ever.  Toss in 5'2" of ginger and you have a masterpiece.

That is all for today.  I will be back soon perhaps to ramble about another hair color, or something far less specific.  Who knows?

On Zivity, my favourite sets are always changing, to pick out just three kick ass sets to feature from our amazing artists was practically torture!  I've tried to pick out sets I just keep on coming back to, because I think the sign of a truly fantastic set is one I just can't help but keep viewing again!

Steve Prue aka tmronin is one of my all time favourite photographers, not just on Zivity, but in the world of art.  I could pick out so many of his sets. At least once a week I peruse his sets and pick out random ones to look at again.  Check out his profile, if you aren't a fan of his already, you seriously should be.

One of my favourite sets of Steve's is 'Brookly Morning' with Watson.  I'm a little biased on this one, Hattie Watson is one of the coolest people I have ever met, and so much fun, and she has a special spot in my heart as literally my idea of a dream model, so I just had to feature their set together.  It makes me want to go to New York, to spend 6 months living in an apartment there, to meet incredible people.  I've viewed this set so many times its a little ridiculous.  

Next up is another photographer who I would rank right up there in my favourites.  I think Corwin Prescott will one day be hailed as a modern great of erotic photography.  As with Steve, I could have picked out so many of his sets to feature, so I again decided to pick out a set featuring a model I have a total soft spot for.  Rachel Dashae is a model I have been following since before I got into photography, and to see how she has grown as a model, and to see the sets she has produced for Zivity is fabulous.  I adore her look, and she is pretty much the number one model I daydream about shooting.

Their set 'Secret Lake' is the epitome of summer.  It makes me think of hazy days lounging in the countryside, I think of road trips across America sunning myself in every state.  And seeing how stunning Rachel is without a spec of makeup is so cool, I love that she shares herself so barely, not many models are brave enough to do that.  

And last, but by no means least, I wanted to feature one of my favourite sets by a fellow UK duo.  When I first joined Zivity, there were so few people in the UK, but thanks to perseverance and hard work we now have a thriving mini community within Zivity, and I love watching us grow!

I was incredibly proud when Adam Robertson joined Zivity.  I have followed his work for a long time, and I believe he is a real coup for not only the UK Zivity members, but for the whole of Zivity.  His photography is so inspiring, and the way he works with models is great. 

Again, I wanted to pick out a model I truly love too, and it seemed only fitting that I feature one of my best friends, my muse, and my very favourite model, a model I have in fact worked with no less than 18 times, Jessica Drue.  I love seeing her work with other photographers, I love seeing the different sides of her they show, and I was thrilled when she worked with Adam.  I love the way he uses depth in his work, and their set 'Roll in the grass' is just a perfect example of it 

There were so many other sets I wanted to feature, but I am sticking to three for now, however I will certainly back to feature more amazing artists again soon!  There are so many that deserve attention.
