Towards the end of this set are some photos of Meagan lying face down and shot along her body. I thought this was a fairly cliché pose, but she said no one had ever asked her for it before.
This is the end of this shoot - but a week after this I shot Meagan again with a hair and make up team and another photographer. So there will be more of this redhead, with a different look and different lighting.

This was the start of my shoot with Bexie. We were working in a small apartment in Melbourne, and I liked the look of the bench in the corner for a location. How small was the apartment? The key light for this shoot was outside on the balcony!
Bexie is very experienced, so there were a lot of shots and almost all of them were keepers, so this will be stretched out over a few parts. In part one she is wearing denim shorts and a skimpy top - lots of nipple slips - and we go up to Bexie st...

Did I mention Jesse is a photographer? For the second half of our shoot at the House of Boudoir we moved into the bedroom and I asked Jesse to use her camera as a prop.
It can be a little intimidating shooting a photographer, as she may have a more critical eye on the finished product. But as it turned out, Jesse loved these. She said, "Thank you. You do make me look completely gorgeous. I shall never look in the mirror ever again so as to maintain this illusion of my own et...

We finished off this shoot with Meagan posing against a black background in orange lingerie. I used some halo lighting techniques from art nude lighting to highlight her curves.
Technical: Nikon D850 with Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens. Light from 3 Godox MS300 studio flashes - one in a 120cm octagonal soft box to camera right in front of Meagan, and two in strip soft boxes either side of and behind her.

Bexie is an English model who has appeared in Playboy (USA and Czech), Men Only, Mayfair and Club magazines in the UK as well as on Page 3. She lives in Bali now, but made a trip to Australia to do some work.
I shot her in an apartment in Melbourne that had a huge photo of Marilyn Monroe on one wall of the main bedroom, so I wanted to use that as a backdrop.
This was actually the end of the shoot, but the photos I processed first.

I am busy preparing this week's posts, but just wanted to let you know about a workshop I attended today featuring Aurora, a classical singer, dancer, life model and photographic model from Melbourne.
This was the last lighting test shot before Aurora took the robe off to shoot some art nudes. These photos will appear in posts in a few weeks.

Jesse took off her heels and panties, and took the shoot in a very erotic direction - some of it took much for the Patreon community guidelines!
We took a deliberate decision that as Jesse took off items of clothing we would leave them in the set so they show in the photos. I'm glad we did that, as I think it makes this sequence even sexier.
We shot a second set at the House of Boudoir, on the bed set using her camera as a prop. Those will come later.

Continuing from last week, Meagan changed into a green crop top and played with sunglasses.
Technical: Nikon D850 with Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens. Light from three Godox MS300 studio flashes - key light to my right in a 90x60cm softbox, fill light to my left in a 90cm octabox, and hair light above and behind Meagan on a book and with a 50cm beauty dish.

We finished the shoot with some implied nudes on the four post bed. I had the shot of Mez hiding herself behind one of the posts in mind for a while, and I am glad it worked out.
Finally we did some shots in front of the vanity in the bedroom. Shooting with mirrors is tricky at the best of times, but the restricted space made it difficult to get the lights into good places.

Continuing from last week, Jesse strips out of her little black dress and her bra as well. The shoot took a turn towards the erotic.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. Light from two Godox AD200pro flashes in 60cm soft boxes. In post processing I have chosen a warmer palette which gives the photos an aged look that fit well with both the room and Jesse's colouring.

First part of a recent studio shoot with Meagan. There is some more casual shots to come before she changes into lingerie.
Shooting her again soon, so expect more redheaded goodness.

Jesse is a photographer, educator, coach, life model and photographic model from Queensland. She got in touch before her recent trip to Melbourne, and we agreed to a shoot. I chose the Tall Dark & Art House of Boudoir as a good location for the styles we discussed.
We started shooting in this 70s themed room with Jesse wearing a little black dress by Calvin Klein.

Reaching back again, this shoot was 10 years ago!
This was part of a shoot done in a fancy hotel room in Melbourne, and a concept I stole from another photographer I shot with the previous weekend - covering up just with lollies (jelly beans for Cheyanne, snakes for Anna-Maria). It turned very sexy when they both got on the bed together.
Technical: Nikon D700 with NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 lens. Light from 2 Nikon SB-800 speed lights, arranged either side of the camera.

Continuing in the turret, sine all the light comes from the windows around the side, when Mez stood up her head was in shadow. So I went down the spiral staircase again and fetched a flash to fill in. That was my exercise for the day!
After this we went to the room with the four post bed, so more Mez next week.
Technical: Nikon D850 with NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E lens. Natural light supplemented with a Godox AD200pro flash in a 60cm soft box.

I wasn't quite sure I could make this work - the bathroom was quite small and I thought the shower screen would give me problems with reflections. In the end, going with super simple lighting and processing with the muted, almost greenish palette gives the shots a gritty, almost journalistic look.
In the end May and I were both quite happy with how they turned out.

Revisiting this shoot from a while back with Lucy Artmodel.
We were shooting in the flat she was staying in, and there was a large piece of abstract art on one wall. I thought it would make a good backdrop. The last photo is a behind the scenes, to give you the idea.
To put Lucy in front of it, I had her stand on a small stool that was in the apartment. But it proved too unstable, so for most of the shots she was not quite high enough to be fully in front of the artwork.

I managed to schedule another shoot with Mez before she heads off for a few months. It was a challenge getting the stars (and diaries) to align, and I thought it might not happen!
We went to The Dragons Parlour, where I shot Amy Ling a little while back. One of the features is a turret at the top of the house with a 360 degree view of the neighbourhood and down to Port Phillip Bay. ...

Reaching back into the vault again. After shooting upstairs at the pub (see Imagined Runway and Zipper Dress) we nipped back to the nearby studio to quickly get some more art nude shots.
These were done by having Jessi stand in front of a large softbox. In the first 14 shots, the only light is the light ...

Dear Patron,
I am very sorry, but I have been sick all week and I have not been able to keep up with my processing.
So no post today. There will be a post on Monday, and I hope to catch up a bit over the weekend (if I can stay awake).
In some good new, though, I have done another shoot with Mez at The Dragons Parlour (that new Boudoir studio I shot Amy Ling at).

As noted before, May made a quick return to Melbourne because her last trip went so well. She chooses really nice apartments to shoot in when she is here, and just like the last time this apartment has a really nice set of steps to shoot on.
This was her last shoot of the day, so we quickly started shooting on the steps with just what she was wearing when I arrived. We had to be quick as we were using the natural light coming in the windows, and it was about to get dark.

Sam was a young model (she was only 20 when these were taken) who approached me for a shoot. This was our second shoot, our first was just a meet and greet in a local park.
Sam suggested this location, which was not far from where she lived in the Dandenongs. It worked pretty well, and I have shot there a couple of times since.

We finished off this shoot with May on the bed in her lovely apartment, stripping out of her casual underwear.
That is it for this shoot - but by the time you see this I will have shot May again so there will be more sets soon. She tells me she has cut her hair (yes, even shorter than in these photos), so we'll have to see what that looks like.

Keira Grant is a world famous art nude model, famed for her thin body and masses of curly hair. U.S. based, she used to visit Australia regularly - she is still working, but I have not heard from her for a while, and she pretty much only travels inside the U.S. these days.
These shots are from the archive, taken about 8 years ago in the Organ Pipes National Park - one of my favourite shooting locations. This first set was taken as we were walking into the park.
