Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and even Grand Junction (for the right shoot!)

There seems to be some confusion about the type of photography that I do. Yes, there are many nude photographs in my port BUT if I contact you I am looking for a clothed shoot. I always look at profiles, if I see "Nudes - No", then I assume that shooting you nude is a No. Beware though. If you set "Nudes - No" then have 18+ photographs in your port, that's just confusing to everyone.

"I enjoyed working with Nigel He was really laid back and gave direction when necessary. He didn’t even mind that I brought a few props to incorporate in our shoot! I really enjoyed our session and loved the photos! The images were edited and ready to view in a few days! I will definitely be working with Nigel again!. "
- Ashley Symone- (Mayhem #3275903)

"I really enjoyed working with Nigel. He's professional, friendly & very helfpul in making me feel comfortable. The shoot was a lot of fun!""

  BTW - I am now doing a TV show at the Captn's Studio, here in Longmont. If there are any Models, Photographers, MUAs or any one at all interested in the crazy world of modeling, and would like to be interviewed, please contact me.

Short Bio.

My name is Nigel Aves. I’m an Englishman, but I live in Longmont, Colorado, USA. By way of Norway, Belgium, Holland and France, technically. Photography is my passion, and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday (though many would argue it already has).

I don’t photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel. Admittedly, it’s a bit of a strange concept. But it’s honest – and it’s probably the best way to describe my approach to the craft and art. I wrestle with every image I shoot, I try to imagine what was possible when I was closeted in a darkroom and working with many a fine toxic chemical (this could of course help explain the insanity aspect!). I assume perfection is possible and I want to wring it out of every picture. If that’s all you ever know about me, it’s enough to say you know me very, very well indeed.
Soft Focus Imagining / Nigel Aves Photography lives in the Denver Area.  We are looking for the extreme models who want to push their art forms in different directions.

The principle photographer is Nigel Aves (myself). I have lived in Longmont Colorado since 91. I am at my happiest when working on photoshoots that are not capturing the normal but exploring the unusual.

I also do the "more normal" photography of portfolio creation or unusual photoshoots that do not fit under the MW banner. I also create on-line biographies that you can point prospective clients too. If you would like to see some of the more normal photography I do please visit :

"Nigel is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. For first time and experienced fine art models alike, you know comfort and safety is most important and Nigel understands that completely. Throughout the shoot he was kind, directive and collaborative, encouraging creativity within my comfort zone. If you're looking to build your port in the fine art/nude direction, I would recommend Nigel to work with."
- JoLeo - (Mayhem #2669772)

"Nigel is a great person to work with. He's respectful, and didn't make me feel uncomfortable whatsoever. Which is highly important for the type of shoot we were doing. The photos came out wonderfully! He is an awesome photographer!"
- Moonflower (Mayhem #2749326)

"This past August I have had the pleasure to shoot with Nigel Aves from Soft Focus Imagining. He was kind, energetic,  and very professional throughout the duration of the shoot. We worked together well with no struggle trying to get a shot and in the end we created beautiful pictures together. I look forward to working with him again in the near future."
- Tamara Rose (Mayhem #2920950)

"I had the privilege to work with Nigel on a nude photo shoot. I have been modeling for 8 years, and in that time, there has only been a handful of photographers that I have felt 100% comfortable with, and he is one of them. He is very professional, has a great eye, and very easy to talk with and has a great sense of humor.  I look forward to working with him again, and anyone can message me as a reference. I love the results!!"

One of my favorite shoots --- Monica3D and Shanna6669 together in a shoot in Crown Hills Cemetery. Two of MM's best! See some good "S & M" in the web album at : Gallery of Monica and Shanna



Small intermission before the next photograph!



TFCD / TFP - I'm very unusual to most photographers because I will supply BOTH a cd containing all the shots (except those I delete) and the finished shots. (I'll also supply web ready  if needed). + I'll give you photo-quality prints (typically 4 - 8 X 11 1/2 and one 13 X 19 (approx sizes), all printed on highest quality photo-paper). I'm sure that Monica3D or Shanna6669 would be happy to give references as to the quality of prints and maybe even let you know what I'm like!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have an idea to be explored or you need a photoshoot created. Macabre World is always looking for models who want to push the darker art forms to the limit and beyond.
