The Feather Nest Inn
.
The Feather Nest Inn located at 703 Hampton Road in Cherry Hill, New Jersey is an ideal place for a photographer to produce nude or erotic photographs. The Inn was set up as a “rendezvous” place for couples to meet for an hour or two or overnight depending on the circumstances of the guests. The place is clean and neat, has good security and a variety of “theme” rooms to select from suitable to one’s individual taste.

All of the suites have mirrors over the master bed and very large jacuzzi tubs, a common theme for this type of clandestine motel lodging. I felt relaxed working there knowing that management wouldn’t be asking any specific questions about what I was using the room for. Mainstream hotels around the globe have very strict – no nude photography – policies as part of their operating procedure. I always use extreme discretion whenever I check into any four star hotel. I make sure to bring along as little camera equipment as necessary to successfully execute the shoot.

On one unfortunate occasion while working on a film project in London, one of my assistants was snagged by the concierge when he noticed a large boom mic hanging out of the assistants back pack. That prompted a visit to my room by management asking me on know uncertain terms to leave at once. Needless to say, I never hired that assistant again. He certainly should have none better. Discretion is one of the keys to success when shooting erotic photography on location.
