Enjoy this three minute behind the scenes video in Cyprus, starring Luci De Argento that gives you a little flavour of my photography holidays there - for my next tour of that area, the plan is to hire a boat so that we can access the sea caves and the blue lagoon. Anyone interested, DM for details, beginners, as well as experienced, photographers welcome.
The morning of Thursday 5 May, we were planning to shoot at White Stones - we did get up early and I mean 6am. But the weather wasn’t cooperating, it wasn’t just hazy, there was dust in the atmosphere, which would no doubt spoil the shoot. So we decided the next best thing is …the hotel balcony. The natural light was actually very good - all I had to do is work with it, I was shooting from as far back as I could go on the balcony without falling out (!) into the balcony door...

On our last day at Pernera beach, Luci and Athena decided to hire a quad bike - never to miss an opportunity for a little movie, Luci and I played up to it, while Athena was carefully listening to George’s very detailed instructions - I think he was enjoying this a lot! He couldn’t have two more gorgeous customers!

A case where a picture is worth a thousand words? I’ll say no more… 🤫 you’re the first to enjoy this.

In response to yesterday‘s comments made by two of my all-access patrons, I’ve put together this little video comprising three shorter videos, including a slow motion video at the end, featuring Tania in the white micro bikini. I haven’t added any music, as I feel the gentle sounds of the sea are the perfect accompaniment to Tania’s slow movements. What do you think? As always, your comments and feedback are very welcome!

It’s always a good sign when a model posts your pics on Instagram or Purpleport before you get a chance to do it yourself! This morning, Anna posted two of these on Purpleport and one on Instagram.
These were the test edits to make sure Anna was happy with Alex‘s retouching. The last thing I want is a model unhappy with the edits - yes it has happened to me once with a very difficult customer who shall remain nameless (drop me a dm if you’re dying to know…).
It was such an fantastic morning to shoot at one of my favourite locations in Cyprus and we did make the most of it - the black lingerie was the third set that Grace changed Into that morning. What do you think of her posing? Isn’t it awesome?

I did say I was shooting with some models new to me a few days ago, didn’t I? I didn’t want to mention names as I’m a little superstitious… but I can now reveal the name of the model I shot with earlier today. It was the gorgeous, the most amazing and most beautiful Anna Chumakova. And because it all went so well, here’s a behind the scenes video with just two of the scenes. But the best is for last. Anna expressed a wish to do her first ever nude shoot...

Guys, I was encouraged by likes and comments on the red micro bikini post to check if I had posted all the retouched micro bikini images of Tania and guess what? I found five that I believe I haven’t posted. Three are of the white micro bikini that you may not have seen (did I post a video with this? In all honesty, I have so much content from the last three weeks that I can’t remember what I’ve posted). So your comments do help me to decide what to post next, plus they are ...

I do love shooting in the streets of old town Limassol! It’s my Limassol - it has changed little since I was a kid, although parts of it are now pedestrianised. In case I never said it before, I was born and grew up in Limassol and although I lived more years of my life in England, I still have a big soft spot for Limassol, especially the old town centre. I do also love the new parts of Limassol - the Limassol marina, for example, with the luxury yachts and nice restaurants, itâ...

Another pearl lingerie treat for my all access patrons! A behind the scenes video of a boudoir shoot in our lovely apartment in Limassol, in which Tania wears her Bracli body suit, that leaves little to the imagination. Enjoy!
I did post a lot of Athena in the last couple of weeks but - shock and horror - I just realised that it was all stills! So here’s a video of her at Nissi beach, looking stunning as usual, although it was very early morning. Nissi beach is the busiest beach in Ayia Napa - no wonder why when you see how clear blue the water is and how sheltered and safe it is - so we had to go early for our shoot, by midday the party is well under way!

Here’s a little video I put together from two shorter clips I filmed during this bikini shoot at Aphrodite Hills with Amber and Grace looking stunning in matching black and white bikinis. I did ask them to act like they were in a James Bond movie! .What do you think?

It was the morning after Grace arrived in Cyprus, Tuesday 3rd May. We shot by the pool at Aphrodite Hills. Don’t you love her posing? Her sexy bikini and chains? Such an amazing model!

I cannot think of a better location, can you? I cannot remember a better day to shoot there - because it rained the day before (a rarity for Cyprus) and the atmosphere was very clear. Believe it or not the sky isn’t always that blue at that location. Many days in April the sky was hazy because of dust from the Sahara.
Plus I cannot think of more elegant poses than Grace’s? Or more elegant lingerie. Or better retouching than Alexander.
All of which makes it, i...

Sweet and sexy video of Grace at White Stones, filmed last Friday in Cyprus, no music added, just the natural sounds of the sea.
Video produced again and link reinstated on 7 February 2024.

I just love these six images from this shoot, all professionally retouched by Alexander Fess. What do you think?
ps i never realised that commercial shoots like this can be so much fun. Ours caused a traffic chaos in the area, as motorists were slowing down to look at what was happening!
2022-05-12 23:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostI would really love some feedback on this! I have loads of content that I created in the last few weeks and, now that I’m home and Wi-Fi speed is good, I could be posting 3-4 posts per day. Would that be too much? if I limit it to just one post a day or less, I’ll never get through all the nice images and videos I have created, as I’ll have more soon! Personally, I get irritated when I receive too many emails from photography sites. So please let me have yo...

Amber and Grace looking glam by the pool at Aphrodite Hills, a luxury five star resort that I use in my photography holidays in Cyprus that is the perfect setting for such a glam shoot. Don‘t you think that heels by the pool adds that layer of glam and sophistication? What do you think of all the chains? Grace‘s anklet?
ps this was a shared pool but we were lucky as it’s still low season, mind you some people watched from their balconies…
2022-05-12 07:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI’m getting excited again by my shoot plans, next week, if all goes well, I should be shooting with three models that are new to me. I don’t want to mention names yet, to avoid disappointment, but all I can say is that is that they are all beautiful in different ways and will extend the range of styles that I’ve done so far. In addition, I’ll shoot with Tania Aresti again in my home studio - a duo shoot with a model friend of hers, one of my new models. Last but not least ...

Stockings on the beach? Why not? Does it work? I think it does, especially the red stockings against the white stones. But do let me know what you think.
We also tried collars and a soft bondage look. Is that too much? What do you think?
These images were from two different days and different locations, White Stones and Governors’s beach.
These were created on Luci’s last day in Cyprus, it was a golden hour shoot with a couple of local photographers who suggested a spot of natural beauty near Ayia Napa. The problem was that it was rocky and getting down to the sea involved considerable risk to life. There were warning signs that the rocks were dangerous! But Luci would do anything for a god pic and before we know it she was down there posing as a mermaid. One of the local photographers followed her nearly a...

Don‘t you just love these images of Athena on the pier? They could be adverts of the Cyprus tourism organisation!
They were created on 22nd April, the day before Athena returned to the UK. For some reason I never sent them to my retoucher until last week. I had so many back to back shoots in April that I had no time to go through all the images I created. Just as well there was a little slowdown last week (one of my models was unwell and couldn’t shoot), ...

Yet another treat for my all access patrons, the second part of the video of Tania Aresti in a pearl body suit on the beach in Cyprus. Leaves little to the imagination.
This video is in landscape format - do let me know what video format you prefer.

The tiniest of micro bikinis, sheer and designed by Tangaland Germany, to showcase the female body, can, in my honest opinion be more sensual than nude, especially if your model is someone like Tania. What do you think?
ps the images are from my shoot with Tania at white stones near Limassol, we started early with nude and proceeded to the red micro bikini. I’ve already posted three nudes from that shoot.

Another Sunday treat for my all access patrons! A high resolution video of Tania Aresti looking hot as hell on the beach in Cyprus in a Bracli pearl body that leaves little to the imagination. Enjoy!

A Sunday treat for my all access patrons - four never seen before high resolution images of Tania Aresti wearing a pearl bodysuit in Cyprus - two on the beach and two shot from the balcony of our apartment.
Those of you who have been my patrons for some time will know that I have a little fetish with pearl thongs, especially those from the Bracli brand, made world famous by Samantha in the TV series Sex and the City. Click on the link below for more details
Some of you may wonder why I make such a fuss about FPIs on Purpleport. The answer is easy. It’s good for me and it’s good for my patrons.
Let me explain why. Purpleport seems to me the biggest and most prestigious site for UK based models and photographers. What do you think? Is there a bigger or better site I am not aware of?
FPIs showcase one’s best work as they remain on the Purpleport front page for nearly a whole day. Ever...

What a better way to start Sunday at home after a long journey from Cyprus, than another FPI from my Cyprus photography holidays with one of my favourite models? This is now my third FPI with Athena Rose, all from the same shoot on 20 October 2021 at White Stones, Limassol. No wonder Athena is Zeus’ favourite goddess!
ps: it’s also my 28th FPI 😊
