Your hero is you.

It’s not your partner, it’s not your children. It’s not an idol or someone who is famous on a magazine cover. It’s you. Imagine dancing into that. Into your inner beauty, and letting it show up in the physical world.

Empower yourself. See yourself from a whole new perspective. Own your magic and rediscover your erotic creature in the most awesome way. Tap into your essence more deeply using your spirit, raw emotion, body and movement. This day is for you and you alone. So that you can nurture the hero within others having identified it within yourself first. It is self indulgence with a higher goal. It is rising from a bubble bath or a massage as a teacher, a warrior, a symbol of self love, of sexual freedom and wisdom.

Imagine slow dancing into the most beautiful of environments, slipping into a sea, the woods, or a rolling grass knoll. Imagine that all your worries and doubts can fall away as you slip into lace and wools beneath the trees, or leathers and glitter rolling free in the sand. Self love is the most vital step toward a beautiful life. You are aligned with the highest beauty on this planet, and to experience yourself in this way is an amazing way to transform your sense of self, in order to show up in the world in the most awesome and provocative way. Far from vanity. It is a celebration of the self.

That self is not only beautiful, it is also a creator. By engaging with your sensual self through form, textures and colors in a specific environment, you are adding something special to the universe in the way all artists do. Your personal style - your hair, your jewelry, those badass boots - will be like lyrics of a song. This very special day is a day for you to let go, be free with your body and spirit, whether elegantly or wild and sexy. The journey to Our Lady Stardust is powerful. The glory is in seeing that this power belongs to you.

In 2018 I went through a pretty awful breakup, leaving me feeling very unlike myself, and lacking in the self love department. To get the pep back in my step I decided to book a shoot with Scott, and I am so glad I did. Not only did I receive incredibly beautiful photos of myself that will last a lifetime, I also had the pleasure of working with Scott - a delightful human and all around wizard behind the camera; who’s gift to the world is helping people step into and recognize their raw, sensual power. I now make sure to book a shoot with Scott once every year around my birthday, and have an awesome photo album all to myself that I’ll get to enjoy for the rest of my life. Through working with Scott, not only have I regained my confidence, but I’ve also learned so much about myself and my own beauty. Many of the parts of myself I once disliked or thought unattractive now seem like some of the sexiest, most special parts of me. Each time we shoot, I leave feeling empowered to be me - raw and unfiltered. Scott is attentive, expressive, comfortable to work with and will make you laugh and smile the whole way through. Thank you Scott, for being such a joy to work with and for helping me to remember that I am a beautiful badass!

“As I've entered my 40's, a mother of three, I've learned the deep, soul-nurturing need to celebrate my own beauty, sensuality and desire. While it is always difficult to carve out time and money away from the doldrums of life/work for self-care, having a "Model for a Day" experience with Scott was well worth it. The shoot allowed me to dive deeply into my body and release my mind; to express the beauty I feel inside, and to have Scott's kind and professional expertise to ensure my photos showed exactly what I was feeling. Scott coached me through wardrobe choices and body positioning and encouraged me to sink into the muscular and kinesthetic experience of my expression. I wholeheartedly believe that all women, at some point in our lives, deserve to be celebrated through art and to bathe in the experience of our own radiant and powerful beauty. A Model for a Day photo shoot is the perfect way to honor and celebrate YOU."

~ Emily, 42 year old, married mom of three

“My photo shoot with Scott was the perfect way to honor my 40th birthday. I have done a lot of work to break through the shame surrounding how I express myself through my body and this experience was the icing on the cake. I finally feel comfortable fully embodying and expressing the love I have for my body, my sensuality and my power as a woman. Scott is the perfect person to capture this experience in photograph form. He is so comfortable and easy to work with and truly has an eye for capturing and honoring the beauty in every curve of the female figure. He has such a gift for his work and I'm so grateful for the time I spent being the focus of his camera. Just the experience alone makes you feel like a goddess and every single picture is stunning and leaves you saying "I can't believe that is me!". I can't recommend doing a photo shoot with Scott enough! Every woman deserves to see how beautiful and powerful she is.”

~ Alicia Willoughby

"Scott's not only a talented artist and photographer, but an authentic soul who makes you feel at ease from the start. What makes working with him amazing is his keen ability to hold space for women to explore who they are and celebrate what emerges. From the first conversation, I could tell he truly understood the journey to empowerment as if it was his own and his dedication to this comes through in the photos. Through light, angles, mood, and composition he captured beautiful images of me that moved me to tears. For the first time, I saw myself as a woman who embodies her power and it has changed my self perception and what I feel I deserve in my life - a true gift."

~ Jen Legaspi

"I recently did a photo shoot with Scott Burgess and it was absolutely phenomenal on so many levels. I was super nervous and worried about not "posing right" or doing a "good job." When I met Scott, he was so respectful and professional, and made me feel super comfortable right off the bat. With this being one of my first real professional shoots, that is very important to feel comfortable. We grabbed some lunch prior to the shoot, and then we headed out to the beautiful forest. I love nature as it is, so being able to be with nature and really crawl all over the lovely earth was extremely healing for me. The whole shoot felt like a healing session I must say. I felt completely liberated, confident, and beautiful after the shoot. The next morning I woke up feeling AMAZING! (extremely sore from poses) but nonetheless, so confident and overall healed. I have spent a lot of time struggling with my sexuality and my Divine Feminine and really owning what that means, and this was the thing to really set it all off. I am so grateful to have gotten the chance to work and connect with Scott. He is truly just great at his work. You can see his passion in his eyes when he talks about it. He puts his true personality and passion into this work, which is what makes it so unique and special. I highly recommend all women who are looking to really feel confident and comfortable in their bodies to do a shoot with Scott. Truly a genius at this work. Thank you so much!"

~ Savana Rollins

“I've done two shoots with Scott thus far, and can not wait to do a third! Not only do I leave with beautiful images (is that really me?!) but I leave empowered, feeling sexier than ever, and connected to my authentic erotic self. Scott is an amazing guide, and he gets how hard it can be to put yourself in front of a camera. He works with that vulnerability with a softness and ease, always checking in, and always getting the shot. As an intimacy coach, I work with a lot of women struggling to connect to their sexuality, and I intend to suggest a shoot with Scott to all of them. Meanwhile, I'm suggesting it to you, reader. You're hot as hell, and if you're not quite sure that's true, Scott will show you.”

~ Sky Kinsman

"Scott Is one talented photographer who puts so much effort in creating the vision you want for yourself, and turns it into a reality in such a beautiful way you can't help but feel speechless. He made me feel like the goddess I am and I am so humbled and honored to have had the opportunity to work with him and experience his creativity first hand. I strive to work with him again. The prints I already have will last me a lifetime, and yet, there is so much more to create with a genius photographer like him. Thank you, Scott, for helping every woman feel her goddess radiance." 

~ Megumi Fujita

"Woohoo! Ladies, do THIS! Save this moment in time with some awesome, extraordinary photos by Scott!! All bodies, all sizes and shapes, even if you've never done a photo shoot before, Scott works hard to make you look and feel empowered and beautiful!"

~ Deb Arana

"Truly an inspiration to work with. I appreciate the empowerment I receive after each shoot with Scott. He has quite the eye, and its such a pleasure to work with someone so talented and dedicated to his art and your experience. If you have never done a photo shoot with Scott before, I highly recommend it."

~ Claire Young

I had been following Scott Burgess on social media for some time and had made it a goal to shoot with him, I admire his work so much and when I got word that he was going to be coming down to LA I knew it was my chance, getting to talk on the phone before the shoot and communicate about ideas and talking about comfortabilities was very helpful. I had a vision and he helped make that vision come to life, during the shoot I felt so comfortable and was able to embody multiple sides of myself which is a huge part of my love for being behind the camera. I couldn’t be more grateful for what we got to create that day and I look forward to shooting with him again. The investment in myself and a timeless memory of experience speaks greatly of his talent. Thank you so much for the opportunity to shoot with you and create art Scott!!!

~Dana Elliot

"Scott is so comfortable to work with, such a creative force to learn from. The photos you get from this shoot are going to leave a unique impression on all who see."

~ Carly Anne

"Awesome! So my friend Frankie did a few shoots with him and I had always wanted sexy photos taken of myself and I loved that his were out in nature. So Scott and I planned for a few weeks. My focus was sexy, but you can make the shoot whatever you want- beautiful, unique poses, aggressive, etc. I got really into it and sent him a million clothing options and practice shots, and he would plan out outfits and help me get comfortable to go for it in photos. And then the day of we spent nearly five hours taking photos! It started with some pics in his gorgeous backyard and he just made me so comfortable I was just letting loose and going for it. We took nudes in these gorgeous rivers, woods, open grass valleys, etc. The day itself was one of my favorites and we're talking about doing another just for fun. I definitely feel myself in a whole new, amazing way."

~ Mary Nash

"Scott is the first photographer I've ever worked with and my experiences working with him have been truly transformational. He has provided hands down the most empowering experience I could have asked for in such a vulnerable new time. He allowed and held space for my own expression, but also offered guidance when I felt lost and showed me the beauty in what was uncomfortable. He helped me process through some really tough emotions that arose during the shoot, so he genuinely cared about my experience and made sure I received what I wanted out of the shoot. More than that, he has encouraged me during our shoots, and life especially, to be unedited, unfiltered, raw! and WILD within whatever emotions come up  to capture the true, PURE essence of that beautiful moment! That moment, every photo, being the beginning of a new journey. Oh my god, I'm just getting so happy and teary eyes thinking about how much these shoots have helped me blossom into all aspects of my femininity. I love you Scott, thank you." 

~ Sydney Wallach

"I never thought I would do a photo shoot in my life. I always thought of myself as the dorky girl next door type. I am forever thankful I decided to shoot with Scott. He brought something out of me I didn't know I had in there. He is a true pleasure to work with. Take the chance ladies and work with this amazing photographer at such a great price. You won't regret it!"

~ Paiton Matyas

"Shooting with Scott has always been a positive and empowering experience. In addition to being a talented artist with a clear and unique vision, his professionalism, sensitivity, creativity, and commitment have made every set a huge success in my mind. He makes every effort to ensure his subject’s comfort during the shoot, constantly keeping open communication about comfort level, taking breaks when needed, and addressing any concerns about location and wardrobe. I have always been blown away by the results of the photographs, but what makes them so special is not just the fantastic skill with which they were clearly taken and edited, but also the enjoyable experience in which they were created. "

~ Frankie Tan

"Scott is an artist - he sees and captures each subjects individual beauty and likes to tell a story with each shoot. Creating glimpses in time of everyone from bad bitches to modern mystics, Scott tries to focus his work on making women feel beautiful and empowered."

~ Marisa Gregory

"Definitely one of my first photo shoots where I felt in control and empowered by my body. Gotta love yourself and what you look like. Scott's photos are a unique representation of the beauty and power in mankind."

~ Vanessa Leigh

" I consider my first photo shoot to be with Scott, because it was such a great learning experience! SO good at making you feel comfortable and empowered. Plus he's such a great director, so the shots always turn out incredible. Thanks for being amazing, Scott."

~ Chevelle Meeks

It was such a JOY working with Scott. The raw erotic feeling of being covered in sand and whipped from the wind while totally emmersed in the elments of nature made the shoot itself an experieince... and created the exquisite nature of my photos. Scott gave great direction and I felt very comfortable working with him. He was honest, artistic and real. If you want to unlock your erotic animal side... work with Scott!

~ Ellice Apostolos

“What if i’ve never done a shoot like this before?”

This comes up a lot. A sense of “intimidation”, and that all of the women in my work are professional models, and a worry that if otherwise the same results won’t be achieved. The reality is that the majority of the women I’ve photographed are not actual models, and instead fantastic, amazing people working other jobs, being mothers and partners and living their lives. They have no interest in a modeling career, and simply want to celebrate their bodies and femininity. And through my gift for direction, that is exactly what I will help you do. Everyone is beautiful, there is just a learning of how each individual, unique and different, can reveal that in imagery. It is a special relationship of framing, posing, composition, and discovering your best lines. They ARE there. I hope for everyone to celebrate their special beauty, and not fear it isn’t there. It IS.Description text goes here

“What if i wish to keep the images from my shoot private?”

Not everyone who does a photo shoot wants them "out in the world" for everyone to see. While a photographer can argue that the images belong to them as an intellectual property, I never post any images to either my website or social media without the client's consent should they request it. I recommend addressing this during your consultation if so.

“How do we come up with wardrobe for the shoot?”

Seemingly daunting, this can really be quite an easy process. During your free consultation, we will flesh out both what is authentically you (very important) and in what ways you would like to explore (this is equally important as this shoot is your safe place to do that!). From there I will send you inspiration images as examples, and from there you can pull from what you have and we will fine tune from there. The core things we will focus on are your true energetic self, characters you have always wanted to play, and pieces that embody both, as well as cuts that highlight your perfectly unique physique. It’s a very creative process, and one you will learn from in all other facets of your life. The power of this shoot extends well beyond when I stop hitting the shutter button.

“i would love to do this, but i worry that it’s too self-indulgent to spend the money?”

Nothing that helps to build or reinvent your sense of self is wasteful, and quite the opposite. As you grow so do those you support. Your children, your staff, your partner. As you well know, you cannot properly love others until you properly love yourself. And my belief is that one cannot properly work without properly playing first. You deserve to be rewarded for everything you give to others, this is one way. You may find that this particular gift to yourself lasts the longest and blooms the deepest and most vibrant of colors.

“How are the images selected and delivered to me? will i get to see everything?”

For the selection of your images - I am happy to either cull through the shoot for you and pick what intuitively I feel are the most outstanding images, or provide you a contact sheet of all the images if you prefer to make those selections yourself. All images will be delivered as professionally edited digital images via DropBox and/or as prints or a book depending on your package selection. As a new feature, I will now also be providing a beautiful passcode and link protected web gallery of your final selections in order to view them in all their wondrous glory.
