Mez - Curtains and Nothing Else (NSFW - Implied)

After last week's set Mez took of her red lingerie and posed naked among the curtains. Remember that Mez will only allow implied nude (although I can show her bum), so care had to be taken to ensure the right bits were hidden. Still, this is probably the most daring and sexy set I have shot of her.

Chey and Alice From Above (NSFW)

From the art nude shoot I did with Cheyanne and Alice Unleashed a little while ago. I was up a ladder about 3 metres high shooting down while Chey and Alice made shapes on the floor.

Got a bit carried away, ran overtime, then had to race to get Cheyanne to the airport - she just made her flight.

Mez Red Lingerie and Curtains (NSFW)

Now we are getting to the sexy part of my last shoot with Mez. I set up the curtains in the studio (as I have on previous occasions) and Mez changed in to her very sheer red lingerie. She had a lot of fun making different shapes with her body and interacting with the curtains in different ways.

White Shirt - Tayla

Despite her conservative views, we talked Tayla into posing in just the white shirt and her knickers. I tried for just the white shirt, but she drew the line at that.

This was the very end of the shoot. Tayla was getting tired, and my shooting partner had hogged the lights for a bit, so I only got a few shots in.

What Happens Behind The Green Screen? (NSFW)

No, not that kind of green screen. This is a changing screen in the new room at Dragons Parlour studio.

This was my first chance to work with Perth based Playboy model Samantha Di Cicco, and she was great to shoot. We shot a few concepts around the studio, but this story was my favourite. Sam starts in a red slip, then pops behind the screen to remove it and comes back out to show us.

Sylph Sia Goes Bush (NSFW)

While we are thinking about Warrandyte State Park, I also did a shoot there with Sylph Sia a few years ago. It was a very productive shoot, this is just the first set of photos from that day.

Mez Ready For The Club

Mez very much enjoys the night life, especially going to nightclubs with her friends, where she wears very little if her social media is anything to go by. So I asked her to bring one of those outfits to the shoot. She chose pink.

Tayla in Lingerie

Continuing this shoot with Tayla - she is still quite shy, but we did manage to talk her in to some more daring and implied topless poses.

I really like the heart tattoo she has just below her collarbone.

From The Vault - Keira At Warrandyte State Park (NSFW)

Last weekend a friend took me for a walk in Warrandyte State Park, which reminded me of the time (more than a decade ago) that I did a shoot there with Keira Grant.

Red Couch Nudes (NSFW)

For the last bit of this shoot with Sienna she went naked in the red couch set, posing in front of the bookshelf and on the couch.

I tried to get some shots of Sienna jumping on to the couch - catching her in mid air before landing. But each shot was either mistimed, badly framed or out of focus, so I will have to plan that better before trying again. And get more practice.

Shooting Sienna again later in the year.

Street Fashion with Sima - Part 3

For the last part of our street fashion shoot, Sima is wearing Guess with Black Balmain sneakers and a Christian Dior bag.

It was still raining, so we retreated to shoot under one of the road bridges over the Yarra.

Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II lens. Natural light, uder the bridge supplemented with a Godox AD200pro pocket flash in a 60cm softbox.

Tayla - The "No Underwear" Dresses

Tayla is a student who started modelling recently when discovered by an agency that prides itself on providing a wide variety of models. She came an modelled for our camera club, and the other coordinator and I arranged our own shoot.

Tayla is a bit of a contradiction. She wants to be sexy, but is also a self described "good Catholic girl" and has a rather strict father, so we had strict limits.

Still, she was happy to wear these dresses from my collection that are designed to sho...

Tenere - Bubbles - Part 2 (NSFW)

More shots following on from last week's post.

Tenere lives in rural Victoria, and her flat mate is another model I have worked with before. I am heading up there in late July to shoot both of them in an interesting location - an old miner's cottage.

At The Beach - Black One-piece (NSFW)

Staying with a beachy theme this week, here is the start of the shoot I did with Emilie at a remote beach.

To warm up, and check out who else was at the beach, Emilie started in a black one-piece swimsuit. Eventually we had the beach to ourselves so she could strip out of it.

Pallabi At The Beach

At the end of a day out shooting around Melbourne with Pallabi we ended up at the beach and shot several outfits on the boat ramp and in front of the boat club there. It was a hot afternoon, and these were the only places I could shoot without having crowds of people in the frame.

Tenere - Bubbles - Part 1 (NSFW)

Finally worked out a time to get Tenere into the studio - although the studio is under repair and there was a fair amount of working around broken it.

We shot for 3 hours, and it was quite productive, including some art nude which she has not shot before.

But we started with this yellow lingerie set in front of the white wall. After some warm up shots we added in the bubble machine, and then Tenere took her bra off.

Today's Shoot (NSFW)

When I posted the fashion set featuring Tenere a few weeks ago, the first question was, "Any nudes of her?" Well, I didn't at the time, but today I was able to fix that. We had quite a long shoot and covered quite a bit of ground, including some cute glamour in (and out) of lovely yellow lingerie and playing with bubbles.

We also shot some fashion (you can't be a photographer in Melbour...

Just Add To Water

This was the end of a long shooting day with Pallabi. We started at the Old Treasury Building and in parks next to the CBD, and ended at the beach. We shot some casual/fashion style on the slipway and in front of the boat club, but Pallabi was determined to end the day getting wet - which meant I had to get waist deep in water as well.

Pallabi is from Nepal, and very conservative, so I think this might be the sexiest you will see her.

White Walled Balcony - Part 2 - Aim (NSFW)

The rest of the photos in front of the white wall. In this part there is more Aim and less dress. 

Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens.  Given the set I wanted a fairly stark and raw look, so this is lit by a  single Godox AD200pro with the fresnel head on it and no modifiers - a  harsh light source - high to camera right.

Sienna - See My Vest (NSFW)

Part two of my recent studio shoot with Sienna.

The Tall Dark and Art studio has a rack of clothing that can be used in shoots, including this feathery vest. We both like the idea of shooting in it. We started seeing how much we could reveal without revealing anything so that we would have some for Instagram, but eventually it comes off and is just a prop.

Street Fashion with Sima - Part 2

Sima is wearing Fendi with a Carolina Herrera handbag.

Continuing our exploration of Docklands locations that have cover.

White Walled Balcony - Part 1 - Aim (NSFW)

A shoot that came close to not happening. We were supposed to shoot in an abandoned factory just outside the city, but there were two problems: the weather forecast was dire, and construction had started at the factory.

Fortunately Aim had a friend with a small town house nearby, and we were able to use that as a fall back. It had this balcony with high white walls (also handy for blocking the view from the neighbours), so we started there.

Pallabi In The City

This is from an outdoor fashion shoot Pallabi and I did last year. We spent a good chunk of the day outside, starting at the Old Treasury building and moving through Treasury Gardens to the JFK memorial.

After this we went to the beach.

Emilie - In The Kitchen - Part 2 (NSFW)

I am working on so many shoots at the moment, and it was suggested I mix up the models a bit - let me know what you think about that in the comments.

So after a bit of a delay, here is part 2 of Emilie's kitchen shoot at the House of Boudoir, where she takes her shirt and panties off. Look out for part 3, where things get a bit explicit.

On The Chaise Longue

It has been a few years since I shot Sienna, but someone asked me for a set of lingerie shots based on some that I had published elsewhere. I can't publish those here because of licensing, so I reached out to Sienna to see if we could make some new content.

Fortunately she is still modelling, and still shooting lingerie and nude, so we lined up a date and time at Tall Dark and Art studios.

This was the first set we shot - more as it gets processed (but you may have worked out that...

Sylph Sia - Pink Lingerie part 2 (NSFW)

Well, I say "pink lingerie", but it is really only her knickers now, and they disappear after the first 19 photos. But, hey, enjoy!

This is the end of the city apartment shoot with Sylph Sia, and she is preparing to travel the world again so I don't know when we will next meet. Sadly she was recently in Melbourne when I was interstate.

Street Scenes with Pallabi

Rounding out my impromptu fashion week, here is a shoot from a little while back - some casual fashion in Melbourne's Docklands district, including the Urban Forest located there.

Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II and NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lenses. Mostly natural light, but in the urban forest I used a Godox AD200pro pocket flash fitted with the Godox R200 ring light.

Blue Formal

Last weekend the owner of the studio where I was shooting Sienna was holding a fashion workshop before my shoot, so I decided to attend that.

The model for that was Tenere, seen here modelling a blue formal dress. This was the first of several outfits she wore - I will publish more as I process them.

Tenere and I got along very well, and by coincidence her flatmate is a model that I have known for a while and have been meaning to organise a shoot with for about 2 years. So I am su...

Street Fashion with Sima - Part 1

Sam (a photographer friend) and I wanted to work with Sima again, and we jointly had the idea of shooting some street fashion style around Melbourne's Docklands and CBD. Unfortunately it turned out to be a terrible day - lots of rain. Luckily I turned up early to the shoot, and was able to quickly scout some undercover locations so we were able to proceed with the shoot.

This shoot was last weekend and I am still processing it; here is the first outfit.

Technical:...

This week's drops will be delayed

I did three shoots over the weekend, Sienna (above) as well as Sima...

and Tenere...

But all that work left me exhausted, so I did not get time to prepare this week's posts. I will start work tonight, so there will still be 3 new posts this week.
