Today I worked with Alice and Cheyanne on some fine art nudes, both high key and low key like the one here. Both are highly experienced art nude models who were in town this weekend.

On Saturday I went to a 6 hour beach shoot - started at 3pm, shot until Sunset.
Two models, fours photographers, a lot of exchange of ideas.
The Models were Mimi (above) and Amelia (below).
Another shoot in the processing queue, and I will be trying to shoot with both again next year.

I am working on this shoot this weekend, to publish on Monday - this was the lighting test shot. It was the first part of the shoot I did with Evelyn and Aim, Aim is wearing the suit, and it turned out quite sexy.
However I am also doing two shoots this weekend - despite trying to slow down to do more processing. But when opportunity knocks...
So even if I don't have this ready for Monday, hopefully there will be some sample shots from the beach.

Lulla is a more mature model, who only just got started. She is a friend of Jesse, who got Lulla into modelling and did her first shoot.
This is from the day I spend in May's apartment. May was in Melbourne for the weekend. As usual, she hired a go...

Liis is a Sydney based model originally from Estonia.
This was the last part of our recent shoot - there is an alley out the back of the studio we were using, and it made a nice backdrop.
I am working on the rest of this shoot which will come out soon.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. Natural light.

This was the last part of my shoot with these two, but I am processing out of order so there is still some more to come.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. Two Godox AD200pro pocket flashes in the front corners of the room, and a Nikon SB-800 with a Godox X1R-N receiver in the back left corner, all controlled by a Godox Xpro trigger.

Here is the movie I made showing all the photos that contributed to the Sylph x 5 image.
Technical: Camera, lens and lighting as per the previous post.
To make the main part of the film, all the photos were loaded into Photoshop as layers from Lightroom. I then used the Timeline window and Create Frame Animation to turn them into an animation, and exported that as a MP4 video.
I loaded that into MAGIX Movie Edit Pro to add the finished image, soundtrack and ...

This was the start of the shoot I did a few weeks ago with Aim in her tiny Melbourne apartment.
I know I promised the start of the duo shoot with Aim and Evelyn - that will start later in the week.

Today I did a shoot with Sylph Sia in her flat looking over the West Melbourne cityscape.
This will go into the processing queue and posts will appear in a few weeks.
This is my second last shoot of the year - I am winding back the shooting so I can get stuck into the processing I need to do and line up a heap of new sets for you all.

I have a duo shoot with Aim and Evelyn in the works, and I was going to publish the fist set tomorrow, but it has been such a time at the day job that I have not done any processing this week!
The set might be late, so as compensation I quickly worked up this set of Aim helping me ...

This is the last of this shoot with Aurora. As I mentioned, she is a life model, so in this section she adopted some classical poses on the white box - then extended into some stretchy poses (I included some bodyscape style shots) and ended facing away from us to show her back.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II lens. Elinchrom lights and triggers. Key light to camera left in a 150cm umbrella and a hair light in a 50cm beauty dish to camera right. 2022-11-15 22:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
On the bed, Bexie adopts some erotic poses.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. After some experimentation I settled on a single Godox AD200pro flash in a 60cm soft box. Reflection from the glass door to the balcony provided enough fill light.

Continuing from last week - Aim eventually drops the dress and poses nude with her guitar.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. Key light is a Godox AD200pro in a 60cm soft box over my left shoulder. The same is in the right had corner of the room, as far back as I could put it, and on a more powerful setting to give a halo effect. A Nikon SB-800 flash with a yellow gel on it is on the floor off to the left, to give some halo from that side and add som...

This is in the processing queue, and will appear in posts in a few weeks.

We had Aurora pose in her tutu for some very pretty shots. The organiser asked her to do some ballet style high kicks on the box - I thought the tutu was getting on the way for those, so asked her to change into her panties.

Last weekend I did a duo shoot with Aim and Evelyn - more of that later.
I have been aware of Evelyn for a while - she has been modelling for about 7 years - but we never seem to catch each other. She is Queensland based and I keep missing her travels to Melbourne. So when Aim suggested a duo shoot with her, I jumped at the chance to meet her.
We took a little time out from the duo shoot to do some solo art nudes. We were shooting in a hotel suite near the top floor, and the windo...

Finishing off the shots in this part of the apartment, Bexie removes the shorts and adopts some very revealing poses.
Next week, we move to the bedroom for some lingerie shots.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens - the go to lens for small spaces! Light from two Godox AD200pro flashes in 60cm soft boxes. The key light was to the left (outside a window, on the balcony), with fill light on the right.

Going back to 2011, my first flash set up and my first DSLR!
I used this shot to illustrate my post on heart shaped bokeh, but just had a chance to revisit and reprocess the set - implied topless theme shot in her room.
There were a number of challenges - the main one was that to get the streets lights to show up in the picture without the whole room being reflected in the window th...

Throughout the shoot she demonstrated her flexibility and dance moves.

Once again Jesse took the shoot in an erotic direction. I ended up with a number of shots that did not conform to Patreon's community guidelines, so I will have to work out how to show those to you without getting booted!
Jesse and I are meeting up in central Victoria at the end of October for another shoot, so look out for those in November.

In a poll I did a while back, Aim was the most popular model I have worked with, so it was great to catch up with her again last night following her international travels.
We shot a bit in her apartment before taking to the streets for some public nudity. Only a few people came past, none seemed shocked or upset - a few apologised for disturbing us.
This shoot is in the processing queue, hopefully I will have posts soon.
