Director Miles Long Shooting Mainstream Mags, Judging Palomino Contest

LAS VEGAS—Miles Long®, the AVN Hall of Fame director who trademarked his own name, has reached another milestone in his career. After nearly a decade and a half of contributions that include performing, directing, producing, art direction, writing, photography, videography and more, Long has just finished shooting layouts for mainstream magazines STACK and Got Curves. "I've really enjoyed stretching myself with my photography," Long said, "and it's really been flattering to see how well received my photos have been in the mainstream market. I wanted to make a point to branch out into that market two years ago, so I started out with billboard ad campaigns. But I thought to myself, why not try to do mainstream magazines as well? It was so nice to see that I can shoot both mainstream and adult at the same time, and that editors really appreciate what my eye catches in that magic moment. I want to make a point to thank all of the people who really encouraged me to shoot photos, including my good friends Laurent Sky and Chris Streams. They are some of the best photographers in the business, and I really appreciate them blazing the trail." In addition, this Sunday the Palomino Club in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be having a competition for this year's awards for Best Pole Tricks, Best Stage Presence and Hottest Outfit. Long will join the panel of expert judges for the event, selecting the winners with two other panelists: Las Vegas Review Journal editor Doug Elfman and Club VIP Brian Manchester. The event starts at 11 p.m. and the contest will go until 1 a.m. The Palomino, a well-known Las Vegas gentlemen's club, is the only club in town that serves alcohol while showcasing totally nude dancers. Established in 1969, it is the oldest gentlemen’s club in Las Vegas. "When the Palomino Club began planning this event, we wanted to have our panel of judges really represent a broad spectrum of experience," said Andrew Smith. "So it was natural for us to have a jurnalist, as well as a Club VIP, but we really wanted to have an adult industry professional as well. I thought to myself, who better than an award-winning director and photographer to round out the panel? We reached out to Miles Long, as he has been doing a lot of photography and hosting here in Las Vegas, and most recently shot photos of our club and dancers for an upcoming advertising campaign." The club is located at 1848 Las Vegas Blvd. North, North Las Vegas, NV 89030. Phone (702) 327-7258 for more information or go to PalominoClubLV.com. In addition to his work as a photographer, Long continues to expand his overall body of work , which includes close to 600 movies, more than 100 boxcovers, more than 100 magazine layouts and covers, and seven billboard campaigns. His last release—Angelic Asses, starring Remy LaCroix—has just wrapped production for Devil's Film. The all-anal movie featuring AVN’s 2013 Best New Starlet, as well as up-and-comers Alexis Monroe and Mischa Brooks, will street this coming month. Stills from Angelic Asses and Long’s other recent adventures can be found on his Twitter account, http://twitter.com/MilesLong4real. Long has also had a successful month of photography work, with layouts appearing in this month's issue of Cheri magazine, High Society and UK magazine Ravers DVD.
