Getting Closer

It's taken a very long time but I'm finally getting better at just putting it out to the world when I'm looking for models to do something. We all know by now that I'm keen to explore the concept of beautiful artistic photos with explicit content.

I find myself in a position with a couple of different models very keen to do full, graphic, beautiful photos but both of them prefer to be on the receiving end of things, so to speak. One of them has been in touch with someone who might be ke...

Aaron - Download

A little over four years ago was the last time I worked with my mate Aaron on a photo shoot. This time instead of a slightly overcast morning we shot a little later in the day and it was bright sunshine.

It’s a time of day and lighting condition I usually avoid but it really suits this shoot. it gives it a sunbleached, washed out, very Australian vibe in my opinion.

Aaron has gone from fairly clean shaven to a lusciously bearded man and doesn’t it look good?

A long way to go

With the creative success of my exhibition and my brain already ticking over on how I can push myself creatively, combined with advances in technology, I thought I might see what happens with a bit of A.I. experimentation. 

Now I fully understand that true success in A.I. is the knowledge of how to write very clear prompts. However writing "identical male figures dancing" and then expanding to "several identical male figures dancing wearing speedos" resulted in the stuff of nightma...

Exquisite torment

Last night I couldn't find a movie or series I was in the mood to watch and I ended up deep diving back through a YouTube channel that I subscribe to. It's the channel of Capetown based artist Jono Dry. He does hyperrealistic pencil drawings with wildly surrealistic figures.

In the aftermath of my own exhibition I'm trying to find ways to challenge and push myself creatively and watching J...

The story of Viking!

Anyone who knows me knows my type of guy is a Scandinavian looking viking type.

James was a friend of a friend and very much fits the bill of the rugged, original Viking looking guy. He could happily be cast in the series and fit right in. When I do a shoot with any kind of theme I try not to be too literal with my references otherwise it looks like a nude Halloween.

James was ok to do his own braids for the shoot and I got hold of some pieces of fake fur and strips of leather cor...

A perky little wallpaper

For those of you who are new subscribers, on the first Tuesday of every month I release an image for you to download and use as a desktop wallpaper image. Probably not one you'd use on your work computer but it will definitely perk up your home computer for sure.

I might even start using these as a screen saver for a while. It might be fun to see what scrolls pops up. God knows this booty popped up with Michael's arched back when we were shooting this series. As I've been trying to do r...

Lucas in my bed - Download

Volume Twenty-Eight of In My Bed is Lucas. He is now the first straight man to do one of these In My Bed shoots. What is it about South American men that they all seem to have a cheeky smirk? Lucas is from Brazil and kept giving me a really naughty look.

In the time between doing the shoot and now, he seems to have disappeared from twitter where I found him. Oh well.

This is the download I should have released last week but my organisation went out the window a little. I'm sure yo...

Behind the magic curtain!

A follower here reached out and asked for more of my editing process and specifically referenced some before and after images that I had done. So tonight I'm sharing with you some of the stages it took to get one of my MANYONE exhibition images from start to finish. I'm hoping it doesn't ruin the magic for you.

You'll see there are some numbers on the images above so in numerical order starting at #1 you'll see just how rough the images started. Because I'm very inexperienced with under...

Such beautiful inspiration

There is a lot to complain about when it comes to TikTok and some might argue that at my age, I shouldn't be on it but now that I follow a few art accounts, I'm being served more as suggestions and my god there is some talent in this world. Of course for every brilliant artist there are a hundred people with a lot less talent but art can always find an audience. 

Recently on TikTok I found out about Ben As...

Sam - Download

A breakdown in communication lead to this shoot being the second attempt but I’m so glad it happened. These shots are the “extras” after shooting for my exhibition.

Sam had never posed nude before but, keeping the setup simple, we paid homage to his striking looks, full lips an athletic physique. He did a beautiful job and when he smiles, as you can see, his whole face lights up.

Black Friday Sale!

I have decided to join in the madness that is the Black Friday Sales phenomenon and offer 20% off the price of all the MANYONE Exhibition limited edition prints. That's a pretty great saving on some images that I'm incredibly proud of. Several prints have gone to good homes already and you could also be the proud owner of one of them.

If you want to take up the offer, the sale will end at 8pm on Monday 27th November (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) so you really should View Post

Start a Warr!

Holy moly. Every now and then you come across a model who may not be your typical type but that somehow grabs your attention. Hunter Warr is one of those for me. I first noticed him in one of Bell Soto's short videos and then went and did some googling. Times really have changed where the lines between mainstream modelling and adult work are blurred. I don't know how "adult" Hunter has gone but I know he's done some stripping but he's also done some fashion work and even appeared in a Miley C...

Some extras

The pdf of the shoot I released to you all last weekend, Duo 2, has been updated. The two models have come a long way since that shoot with their willingness to appear on camera doing more than posing nude.

Shaun was never that modest as you saw in his bed shoot, but Axle was a little more reserved so there were some shots we didn't include in the download. We didn't include these solo shots but there are a few other shots of each of the models solo and a couple of them "interacting" th...

The story behind Watched

Straight men are wildly under represented in my collective body of work and I'm always trying to rectify that. Five years ago Tyler, a straight escort from interstate was in town and we arranged to do a shoot at the Air Bnb he was staying in.

I wasn't sure how comfortable he would be posing erotically for a gay photographer but in my experience, sex workers are pretty comfortable and very open minded. So for the 2023-11-18 21:55:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Oh Elordi

Jacob Elordi, the very tall, very gorgeous Australian actor who I think I first saw in the Netflix movie The Kissing Booth. Even though there are tons of Aussies working in Hollywood I'm always really surprised and proud when one does really well.

To see Jacob doing so well and making really interesting choices of roles like his role in Euphoria and now the new movie Saltbush is fantastic. 

The fact that he's so beautiful also helps his cause of course, despite physically tow...

Federico is coming back!

I got to catch up with Federico at my exhibition last month when he came to see himself hanging on the wall. His powder montage was very popular in the gallery. We have obviously stayed in touch after our shoot last year but we have finally got around to organising another shoot.

This time we are getting him nude on the beach. He doesn't do full frontal and I totally respect that but we are doing a behind the scenes video which is something I haven't done anywhere near enough of lately ...

Duo 2 - Download

When two men are coming to town and you know they have chemistry together and both want to do a shoot, it seems only logical to throw them into a shoot together.

As soon as I collected them, the banter started and when the clothes came off it shifted to incorporate flirting. The skin tones of the boys worked so well against the natural colours of the rocks in the morning light and the boys definitely had some fun.

This shoot happened back in February and because of the body of wor...

A different point of view

A little while back someone suggested I create a profile on a site called Adult Folio which is a networking site for models, photographers, makeup artists etc but without restrictions on adult content. As long as it is consensual and legal I believe it's ok.

There is a lot of fetish stuff and very erotic stuff including solo, couples and across all gender combos. There is one aspect of it that I'm not really a fan of and that is POV work where the photographer is physically interacting ...

Wallpaper Download

This month the free wallpaper download is a shoot from way, way back in 2009 when I photographed the sexy Kieran in Bronte pool at about 1:30am. It was a chilly night but Kieran was a trooper for this shoot. Just after he got warmed up and put his clothes on again a group of women arrived for a middle of the night swim. I wonder if they realise how unlucky they were, just missing out on quite an impressive specimen.

Something to muse on...

Definition: a person, or an imaginary being or force that gives someone ideas and helps them to write, paint, or make music.

There are stories across the ages of people becoming a muse for artists. It's not something I've ever experienced where one person becomes a huge source of inspiration but I do know that there have been models I would work with any time and we would comfortably explore almost any idea.

Several of my models have been in front of my camera several times. After...

The story of Home

This shoot first happened 7.5 years ago when a friend of mine let me photograph a model draped over his furniture nude. To be fair, that friend's house was the venue for lots of nude social events amongst our friendship circe so to have Laria (the model) nude there was not a big deal at all.

It wasn't until two years later that I turned the shoot into 2023-11-02 08:46:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Not quite my style

Every year on Halloween there are photos that pop up of people going all out with their party costumes and it's so much fun. There are countless examples of really cool themed photo shoots that go with the Halloween vibe. Zombies, demons, devils, day of the dead etc but sadly there's not enough of them that are nude.

It's not really a vibe that I dive into. They feel a bit cosplay and for me it instantly means the photo isn't applicable once that holiday passes. I really admire the effo...

Mirrored - Download

This year has absolutely flown by. This shoot with Jim was 6 months ago today and boy was it fun. Watching Jim really come out of his shell and have a lot of fun on a shoot has been really rewarding.

He was in a playful mood this day and we had a lot of laughs in between all the very erotic posing.

This series uses the same technique I used with Mitch a while ago, holding a mirror against the lens. Needless to say twice as much Jim is still not enough.

Apologies

I moved house this week and when I changed my internet account they said my modem would work in the new building. It turns out that was a lie so I’m without internet in the new apartment for another few days.

For some reason using hot spot from my phone isn’t working and the Patreon app isn’t letting me attach the new download to the post on my phone. I’ll keep trying to resolve it for you all but I may have to see if I can do it at work tomorrow.

It's the dream

When people have asked me over the years if I would ever pursue photography as a full time job, the answer has always been no. The idea of doing what I do full time really appeals but I also don't want to lose the passion for it by having to survive on it and it becoming a chore.

The way I do photography now means I can shoot exactly what I like rather than have to sell my soul and photograph weddings or corporate headshots.

When I was in Copenhagen in August and chatting to Mikae...

Mikael - Download

Eight years almost to the day of my first shoot with Mikael in a park just outside of Copenhagen, I found myself back in that amazing city for just one night. Flooding had meant I couldn't get to where I had intended to be and I was flying out of Copenhagen the next afternoon, so I spent an unscheduled night there and caught up with Mikael for a drink. The next morning we planned for a quick, simple shoot in my hotel bed before he went to work.

He had done a lot more shoots since our fi...

The story behind Wired

I'm the first to admit that most of my shoots, especially the studio shoots are born out of an idea that is purely an exploration of something I think will look good. Rarely do I start with a deep meaningful concept that I find a visual way to represent. That does happen occasionally but it's not my general idea.

Available now!

It's been just over a week since the Manyone exhibition finished and to say I'm happy with the response would be a huge understatement. Opening night was packed with friends, family and supporters who came to see the images that I'd been banging on about for a year. That and the free drinks.

Over the weekend just gone I had the opportunity to put the images on my website for people to buy prints if they are so inclined. While I sold 5 prints during the run of the exhibition, I'm a long ...

Ruhan - Download

I have decided that for the next few weeks you're all going to get a new download each week. What I thought was a healthy amount of work ready to release was almost too much. There are still shoots from February that I haven't released. 

So here is the stunning Ruhan. A relative newcomer to doing photo shoots, Ruhan was visiting Sydney and reached out to me asking if I would be interested in doing a shoot with him. Naturally I said yes.

The story of Pervert

Back in 2018, I hadn't needed to start the In My Bed series but it wasn't unheard of for me to photograph guys in bed and in this case, my bed. Matt wasn't someone that fit my typical model mold. He's hairier than I typically go for and has a big thick beard. He's also a naughty, dirty boy and that was what made me curious to photograph him.

Could I take his love of kink and enthusiastic hedonism and photograph it my way? It turns out I think, yes is the answer. Starting in boots and a ...
