I enjoyed these ... have you seen them before? I'd love to shoot a few rolls of you. If you have the inclination,I'll have the film. I'd like to do some art shots and some wildly explicit shots and some arty wildly explicit shots.....
i am VERY interested in purchasing prints by Stephen McBride, but...when I follow the link in order to do so, his name does NOT appear onthe list of photographers who've had their work featured in the gallery. i'm sure that this is an oversight...can someone please correct it so that i can purchase some prints...
thanks
Steve, your photography is great, but you haven't moved too far from your fashion roots, if that was really your goal as stated. Keep trying. Get rid of your automation and lighting, forget what you know. I think then you may "git down an dirdy"

um, these women do look like models, or were made to. i guess if you're rating your dreams (NC-17) corporate aesthetics have already formed a filter behind the photographer's eye. maybe you should go bars that don't manufacture dirty martinis, or caiphrinas. a lettl excitement, please.
my objection wasn't to your photographs, they're cool, it was to the introduction which made the claim that these are everyday women. Well, when I look around my office, there isn't a one who looks like your friends, not that your friends aren't real people, just that your friends don't fit "average" by any stretch of the imagination. And that's fine.
hay guys and girls this is to the people out there who did not get what i was showing you. i dont measure women i love women and i love the women i photograph. photography is not based on words to me its moments and the feeling you can capture in a moment not depending on size or wieght. the women in my photos are my friends not strangers and i just want to share these women in a great light and they really are my friends who are not models but just so you know models are people too. look for my book by the end of this year and you will see women a celebration we should enjoy.
your work is beautiful. I am a female photographer and I am actually just getting into creating powerful moments/creations just as you have done. let me know how i can contact you so i can see what you think of my work. ciao - leeshawn renee navarro
the nc prints are beautiful, no doubt. but honestly, these women do not look any differently than supermodels. they are all within the same parameters of height, weight and build. i don't really have a problem with that. however, i wonder why nerve does not cover photo essays of older women ? if we were to celebrate the aging process a little more, jealousies between young women and sadness in older women would subside as quickly as their hearts would leap. i just feel that nerve should keep pushing the envelope rather than manufacture it...isn't that part of the agenda?
McBride seems to suffer from a phobia of the "presentation of a conected visual thought process." I'm sure he might offer the same excuse I've heard other artists give--the one about not wanting to be pigeon-holed. But consider this. What would you think of a writer (Emily Dickenson, Stephen King, Maya Angelou) if they changed writing style and subject from sentence to sentence or paragraph to paragraph. Imagine reading, "that I have no love but thou... the exponent of the chemical reaction can be attributed to... creeping down the musky stairs...."
have to agree with sej's comments. stretch marks? um, where? if this was'nt so tragic it would be funny. c'mon nerve you're so great in so many ways PLEASE start showing some real women. i can't believe that nobody out there is taking pics of women size 14 or above.
if sites like nerve don't break out of the stereotype things are pretty hopeless. send this joker back to rolling stone!
ok, so you can see stretch marks on the thighs of one woman, and a few people show signs of having normal levels of body fat instead of being gaunt and tortured. But c'mon folks, this introduction reeks - the average woman in the US is a size 12. The woman you're spending the night with (night after night) probably doesn't look like these women either. --- That said, I really do actually like these pictures quite a lot. They're not so stark, inhuman and objectified as many nude photo spreads. Thanks.
