Fringed - Download

I got myself all completely confused this morning and forgot that it's not the day for an archive download, but this new one instead. So my All Out patrons are getting two downloads this morning!

When the moment is captured, sometimes a photograph of a dancer looks like they are perfectly still. When they are wearing a fringed collar that hangs to the floor there is no danger of that happening. Every movement is extended through the fringe in an uncontrollable way.

Jakopo had cont...

On The Rocks - Download

As Summer slowly relinquishes it’s grip and Autumn makes it’s way to Sydney, a Brazilian traveller spends a morning shortly after dawn looking at the water and enjoying the feel of the breeze on his body.

Lucas was fearless in this shoot, despite being a little bit cold he had no qualms in stripping off for the camera and as you can see, enjoying himself despite the exposed location.

Flash way back

One of my first models was the gorgeous and lovely Andy. Andy was at the time doing some stripping and was beautifully put together. A few years after our first shoot he and some of his stripping mates needed some photos. I don't think about that shoot very much because Andy was the only one to get nude and the shots were for them to use, not for me. But recently I came across one of the guys on Instagram. He's still stripping and is in Europe at the moment (stuck with Covid) but he's keen to...

Two Men In My Bed

I'm making a very concerted effort to produce more content on my youtube channel, both because I actually enjoy doing it, and because I think it will be good to promote this page. The more patrons I have here, means the more effort I can afford to put in to my photography. 

The In My Bed series has proven to be quite popular which I'm grateful for. As you know it started as a response to Covid. It's a relatively easy way to shoot and apparently most guys feel relatively comfortable...

Wild Pony - Download

There are many photos of Max The Pony going around on the internet from his Onlyfans page, his tumblr and all the work he’s done with other talented photographers.

So it was a surprise to hear that Max had never done an outdoor natural light photo shoot before. It has taken us about three years to get around to doing this shoot but Max was in his element.

Somewhat of an exhibitionist, wi...

Steven in my bed

Steven is another Sydney based model who recently stripped off and rolled around in my bed. It seems like this covid-inspired series is quite popular. The models seem to feel safe and comfortable doing them and you, the viewers seem to enjoy them as well.

This model has been modelling for a few years and doing some really nice work for a range of Sydney photographers. With Sydney being a relatively small pond there aren't actually that many photographers working with male figure photogr...

Ask away

It would seem that finding a time to have a LIVE Q&A session is very difficult. So there is an alternative plan. This Sunday afternoon (Australia time) I will record a video answering all your questions, well appropriate questions.

Instead of a live session I'm asking you to ask your questions in the comments on this blog. Alternatively, since I know a couple of you are shy about putting your names and faces even in the comments section, you can message me directly and ask the quest...

From Above

Sometimes I worry that I don't have a "signature" style. There are photographers I know that manage to shoot with consistent lighting or vibes throughout all of their shoots. I keep trying things that are a bit different because I get bored easily. Sure, most of my studio work has similar lighting and most of my outdoor has a similar feel but the two are quite different to each other.

This shoot with Greg and Kane was something a bit weird that I wanted to try. I don't know why I wanted...

Leo In My Bed - Download

Volume Seven of In My Bed is Leo. Leo is a Venezuelan born Australian who gave me the impression he was shy. As you’ll see in this download, that is certainly not the case. He has a smoulder going on in those dark brown eyes of his and you have to wonder what he’s thinking.

Leo is a fun guy. He was so comfortable and relaxed which made the shoot very easy and enjoyable. He and I are already talking about collaborating again. He wants to do a body paint shoot which will be a lot of f...

Video perfection

Leonardo Corredor is a photographer I've only relatively recently discovered and to say his aesthetic is sublime would be an understatement. He captures people absolutely exquisitely and that includes himself. It would be a guess but I'd say he's probably in his late 20's and a stunning man in himself but there is a sensitive approach and a sensuality in how he approaches photographing all his subjects.

Th...

Working with Aaron

On Saturday I reunited with Aaron, a model I'd worked with twice before. We didn't have a lot of time but we still managed to get content for two downloads shot as well as grabbing a few cheeky selfies along the way. The two downloads are already edited and in the queue, ready to share with the world.

Having a model I can have a laugh with is very important to me and Aaron is definitely that. We get along really easily and he's very comfortable in front of a camera. It is very reassurin...

A little bit brooding

There is no one look that makes a model. Society tells us that you can only be sexy if you fit a very narrow window of body types. I'm a firm believer that there are sexy people of a very broad range of body shapes.

Andrew is a part-time model and actor who I was lucky enough to photograph in the first half of 2016. He's naturally really lean but oozes sensual charisma. Maybe for me his appeal is in his tanned smooth skin but for a lot of people it's probably the beautiful toned body co...

BED - Download

When I wrote recently about blurring the lines between art and adult content, this shoot was the first shoot I did that went close. It was the first erotic duo shoot that I had done but while there are shots that contain arousal and oral contact for me it is an exploration of sensuality and playfulness.

These two guys are polyamorous lovers and are very enthusiastic and comfortable in their sexuality. We photographed this series in their apartment just using the beautiful morning light ...

A BONUS download!

I thought I'd give my wonderful subscribers a bit of a treat tonight and give you an extra full download from the archives. Where to begin when describing the wonderful Mike? Mike is one of those amazing guys who moves in all the cool circles but doesn't buy into the superficial rubbish that comes with being an A-Gay. He needed some photos for promotional purposes and I was more than happy to oblige.

Mike is a perfect example that you never can know how someone else's mind works. He roc...

Beautifully inspiring

This evening I stumbled across this video on youtube showing the process of legendary photographer Albert Watson on a shoot with a professional dancer. The video is clearly about showcasing the ProFoto lights that get a lot of airtime but whether it's a promotional video or not is irrelevant.

My studio lighting training is minimal. My boss a few years ago gave me the basics but essentially I'm self-taught.  This is possibly why my lighting setups are very simple and possibly that l...

Un/Masked - Download

When I first asked Marko about doing a photo shoot he wasn’t sure. Through the conversation he told me about his passion for making origami masks and he said that if he could pose in some masks then he would be up for the shoot.

On the day Marko turned up with some beautiful masks that he’d made especially for the collaboration. Geometric, medieval, sensual, stark and beautiful, the masks that Ma...

Let's try again

My first Live Q&A for my "ALL OUT" subscribers didn't quite go to plan. Let's try and make the next one more successful. Can everyone who is interested please comment on this post with a time (& timezone so I can work it out) that suits you for the live Q&A. It would be great to be able to interact with you guys who are supporting me and answer your questions and chat about photography.

The target dates are around the weekend of the 31st October / 1st November. So let me kno...

Unexpected question

Whenever I do an "Ask me a question" on Instagram stories I have to brace myself because I never know what I'm going to be asked. It was a given that someone would ask for frontal images of my models but that will never happen on my Instagram. I'm not going to get myself banned for someone's gratification.

An unexpected question though which has cropped up a few times is whether or not I'm nude on a photo shoot. At first I got indignant thinking "That would be inappropriate". There is n...

Wrestling lovers

Back in 2009 I received an email through my (now-defunct) blog from a reader also in Sydney. He and his partner were keen to put themselves forward to model for me so I went round to their place one day to chat to them and we decided on a wrestling theme to start with. The location proved to be the sticking point on this shoot.

We had decided to try and do the shoot down in the sand dunes in a southern Sydney suburb called Kurnell. What we hadn't budgeted on was that the big open sand d...

Night Swimming - Download

Not too long ago I told the story of this shoot with poor Kieran nearly freezing in late night, early Autumn waters of Bronte Ocean Pool. Now it's time for me to share the full download with you all.

I am always very appreciative of my models, some of whom I've had covered in uncomfortable clay, some I've had laying on uncomfortable rocks and nearly all of the outdoor shoots I've made them get up really early. In this case I was incredibly grateful that Kieran, who hadn't met me face to...

Easy to work with

This is Leo. We did a shoot for the In My Bed series on the weekend and Leo was great fun to work with. When we were chatting about the shoot, he gave off a slightly shy vibe but in person he wasn't shy at all. This download will be out in a few weeks and you will see that he isn't shy at all and nor does he have anything to be shy about.

Leo has a cheeky smile and soulful eyes that have a lot going on behind them. It's guys like him that make doing what I do even more fun than you'd ex...

For every success

I have often said I don't think I want to chase photography as a full time career and recently I've been reminded why. Photography is a real passion for mine but since starting to sell downloads and making a little bit of an income from it, at times I have found myself shooting things when I haven't really felt it.

I recently photographed a guy that was very, very keen. He'd found me on Instagram and he's a lovely guy and fairly good looking. Good looking enough that I agreed. On the da...

Ben - Download

I had photographed Ben and his husband Stephane together, and I had photographed Stephane for another project but I hadn’t done a shoot with only Ben. We had talked about it but couldn’t make our initial concept happen. So one slightly gloomy morning we went down to the nude beach and Ben spent quite a bit of time upside down.

Ben is an ex-gymnast, singer, actor and Burlesque performer so he’s used to not wearing much while under watchful eyes. Sadly there was no appreciative audi...

Matthew - A timelapse

A couple of weeks ago I shared a time-lapse video of the shoot I did on my Tribe series. Tonight I'm sharing another one of Matt. This is from a slightly different angle but it's a similar setup. In a rare move for me, I photographed Matt against a white backdrop. A lot of tribal imagery is dark and menacing but in this shoot I wanted it to feel light and airy. 

As you can see for some of the shoot Matt was draped/wrapped in a loin cloth style piece of fabric and some he was just a...

Not entirely to plan

It is something that frustrates me about myself that I don't often test out the more elaborate concepts I have for photo shoots. This shoot with my model Ben was one of those instances where I should have had contingencies in place but there weren't really any options.

When I met Ben to talk about doing a shoot, he had grown his hair since the last photos I'd seen, to just past his shoulders. He was also a lot bigger than I'd anticipated in terms of his height and athleticism. None of t...

Red - Download

“ Red is the color of sex and fear and danger and signs that say, Do. Not. Enter. All my favorite things in life.” This is a line from “Kinky Boots” uttered by the drag queen Lola. Never were truer words spoken.

This series features two gorgeous men playing with all the ideas that come with the colour red. The guys explore agression, power, strength, lust, romance and anger, all while naked and vulnerable. Sometimes the lines between all those emotions is very difficult...

Before and After - Windswept

You can drastically alter the mood of a photo with a bit of colour tweaking and this shoot with Sam was a great example of that. OK so it's more than just a tweak of the colour. We shot this at the very tail end of Autumn on a cold, windy morning. We had discussed the shoot looking really bleak and menacing. The clouds and the choppy water played along but the early morning light was actually beautifully golden which didn't go with our plans for a gloomy shoot.

So in photoshop I essenti...

Night Swimming

A few days ago I shared a video of an old shoot I did in a parking garage in the middle of the night. This shoot was the first time I collaborated with Kieran, also in the middle of the night. This time we had settled on the idea of shooting at Bronte Beach ocean pool, a very popular place for a swim during the day and, we discovered, in the night. We did the shoot at the very tail end of summer on an unusually cool night. 

Anyone that knows anything about photography will know tha...

Location Scouting

Yesterday I went out looking for new photo shoot locations. It wasn't a successful trip but I also gave my new vlogging camera a test run. I need to practice and try out some different settings. The Australian coastline is so vast and spectacular, so while I may not have found a location this time, there are definitely options out there.

Luke In My Bed

Even though the weather is starting to warm up here in Sydney and there are more opportunities to shoot, the In My Bed series seems to be quite popular and I'm actually getting models asking to join in. 

Volume six of In My Bed is Luke. He’s cheeky, he’s cute, he’s slim and always a laugh to work with. As you’ll see, Luke isn’t shy and makes himself very comfortable in the bed which is the whole...
