Bangkok: Archy, part 2

This series is a serious throwback! I had to go back and give these images a fresh coat of retouching and love. I hope you enjoy them!

I was staying in Bangkok for a couple months or so, after traveling throughout Asia and taking a much needed break from my life in Beijing. Before leaving China I had wrapped up a really nice gig and decided to take the money and hit the road.

Thailand was a very d...

Virginia: Carl, part 4

It's been four years since my first shoot with Carl. We met and hit it off right away and have since remained friends and keep in touch. We usually meet up from time to time when we are both back home in the area. In case you're wondering about his look, his background is a mix of German-American and Filipino.

On this day it was a warm and sunny late April day. I chose my favorite spot at the time - the old Lupton Camp and farm...

Manila: Mark, part 2

When I first met Mark 5 years ago on my last trip to the Philippines, I had no idea I was making a life long friend. We met soon after I arrived in Manila and were stuck like glue until I left 2 weeks or so later. Since then we've remained in close contact and talk regularly - though it's hard to believe we haven't actually seen each other in so long!

If any of you have seen his photos on social media or know him, you'll know he's changed a bit since our first shoot. His hair is much lo...

Tbilisi: Jaba, part 1

As some of you may know via my other social media accounts, I'm currently in the country of Georgia in the Caucasus region between Europe and Asia. I arrived just over 2 weeks ago and have been mostly in the capital city of Tbilisi, with some day trips here and there. My two main reasons for coming here - I've never been and it's cheap! I try not to say 'cheap' anymore when describing a place, but usually prefer to say affordable. Regardless,...

San Francisco: Nathan, part 1

These photos are from so long ago and really take me back! Of course, I've tried to go over them and give them a 'fresh coat of paint', as I like to say (meaning an updated edit). It's hard to believe this was 10 years ago!

I was living in beautiful San Francisco at the time and had only been playing around with the camera for less than a year at that point. I had a 'friend' who would help me out on some shoots - holding the reflector, taking behind-th...

Taipei: Daniel L., part 7

I've had photoshoots with 46 guys (give or take) in Taiwan since my first trip there in 2013. Daniel L. (there have been a few Daniels) would probably rank right at #1 as far as favorites go.  All of this aside, he is still probably ( I hesitate to make it a definitive because there's always the chance I've forgotten someone!) my favorite just based on his look, physique and appeal. He's such a hot guy!...

Mexico City: Erick, part 3

Erick and I met through our mutual friend Alan (featured in a previous post). They are both full-time ballet dancers and naturally quite comfortable with nudity, movement and to an extent, exhibition I suppose.

Erick was my last shoot of this trip and as luck would have it, we had a very cloudy sky to contend with. I shouldn't complain, as every other day and shoot was met with strong, beautiful sunshine, so eventually my luck had to run out!

In addition to the crap weather, we al...

Zhengzhou: Xavier, part 4

It was cold and snowy out, so shooting underwear and/or nude outside wasn't an option - though I would have been game if he were! Eh, too many people milling about anyway, so not really. We made do with my warm little studio where I was living. The tile floors were heated and I was quite a few floors up, so my own floors mixed with all the people below me made for quite a toasty apartment. Usually in the winter I'd have to leave the window open to try and cool it down, so needless to say, han...

Patreon vs OnlyFans?

Hey guys! If you're reading this it's because you're subscribed, so a massive THANKS to each of you. 

Some of you may recall that a little while back I was debating switching platforms to be able to share more of my erotic photos I've done (Patreon has removed one image I posted before where the subject was more erect than they deemed appropriate and they warned me not to do it again!). I did a complete overhaul of my website and was hopeful I could create private ...

London: Simon, part 1

Simon and I met via Instagram while I was living in London. I liked his unique look and strong physique, though if I'm honest, I wouldn't have minded if the hair was a bit shorter πŸ˜‚ Anyway, nice, nice guy - hair and all.

I'd always wanted to do a 'horse photo shoot', but have never had the chance. Simon didn't have a horse, but his girlfriend did and he was all in. She lived in the city, but boarded the horse at a farm well outside ...

Singapore: Benny, part 1

This was one of those special and memorable shoots where the model and I just immediately clicked and though we only spent that one day together and 5 years have passed, we remain in touch and still chat. 

As I'm sure I mentioned in previous posts from Singapore, finding a private outdoor location to shoot risquΓ© and nude was no easy task. I shot 4 guys on that trip in this location and Benny was #3. Usually when I'm in a place with limited locati...

Charlotte: Davi, part 1

Nighttime, sort of spontaneous shoot with Brazilian, Davi. We made do with the living room where I was staying in Charlotte. I pinned up some reflective gold, threw some colored lights on and played around. Totally different vibe and some of the shots I'm really into. More to come! ✨ 🧑

Miami Beach: Sergio, part 2

I recently saw a a trailer for a movie or show and this guy was in it! I knew he had become an actor and producer, but given that my photo shoot with him was 7 years ago...my memory of our shoot sort of faded into the masses. That being said, there won't be much to say about this shoot πŸ˜‚

Miami: Marc, part 2

These photos of Marc may be a slight departure from my usual posts on this page. There unfortunately won't be any overtly sexual or suggestive images of him to share, as we didn't take any. I know, I know - what a shame! πŸ˜† This shoot was actually part of a test shoot I did for one of the modeling agencies I was then working with. My time in Miami was full of beautiful men and hot photoshoots - quite a few of those guys were shoots I did through va...

Vince is a Cuban American from Miami and for our first shoot he had a super short buzz cut and gave off some real Prison Break vibes. Two years later an...

Sri Lanka: Tymo, part 2

My whole Sri Lankan trip and the parts and pieces coming together to make the trip a reality were long and complex, so I'll spare the details surrounding it. I'll just keep it short by telling you that it was a 'work' trip with clients from Beijing.

Now, let's talk about Tymo! While this trip was a long time in the making, I didn't actually know I'd be going until a week or so before hand. That meant I didn't have much time to search in advance...

North Carolina: Corey, part 3

I met 21 year old Corey through Grindr soon after I moved to Charlotte. He certainly had the right amount of vanity for our shoot and confidence. He was one of those self-assured young gay guys who knows what he brings to the table and knows that at least in a small pond like Charlotte, he'll do alright. We ended up shooting for a couple hours or so and when all was said and done and I sent him the final images weeks later, he was pretty pleased. In the end, I realized he was one of those who...

Singapore: John, part 5

John has been one of the kindest, sweetest and most genuine guys I've met, photographed and become friends with. We connected via Instagram and as usual, I added him to my folder of 'guys to shoot' somehow, sometime (yes, I actually do keep a running folder of potential future models, organized by countries 😁).

London: Niko, part 4

Niko and I connected during my 6 month stint living in London. He was performing in a show in the West End (London's Broadway), so naturally he loved being in front of the camera and was eager to shoot. His background is Indonesian and German (where he grew up) - so he has a sort of mixed look that may be hard to identify. With handsome looks and a fit, muscular physique, I knew he'd be a great addition to my new UK shoots!
