These fine art photographs are from a series titled "Miss Priss". Photographed in the early '70's (1970's) at Tule Springs (now Floyd Lamb State Park) at the outskirts of Las Vegas. Model Janet Boyd was a Hooper favorite which he shared with famed artist of the Silver Slipper Bordello Paintings, Julian Ritter. Ritter used her as a model many times and one of his most expensive and famous paintings is of Janet.
The series was published in an English men's magazine, Mayfair.
"In the early seventies there was this whole 'antique', soft look going on. I wanted to do something in B&W and create a whole series taking the 'Storyville Portraits' outside. Janet was the perfect model. She is tall (nearly 6') and long legged and had such a perfectly lush, womanly figure. But the best thing about her was the way she could transform in front of the camera. Whatever character or scene you asked her to do, she just became it before your very eyes! And with such grace. She's the only woman I know who could step through cow dung with her toes pointed as if it was a dance!" RSH
