Two New Tiers

I'm happy to announce the release of two new tiers to Patreon as follows:

1. Erotic Not Erotic - $50 a month

This tier has been a LONG time in coming. For years I've searched for ways to use the body in an  explicit, yet non-erotic way. This has been a difficult challenge and I've tried many things during experimentation with various models but have never felt like I've nailed the concept of explicit yet not erotic. Of course, whether a photograph, painting or some other depiction is erotic or not is in the eyes and mind (and elsewhere) of the viewer but, the important thing is whether I see the image in this way or not. It's about my intent, not the viewer's. I need to be happy with what I've done and whether I've achieved what I set out to achieve. And finally, I am.

During the journey of shooting explicit content, I've photographed from mild erotica to complete sex - the latter being two very dear and close friends of ours. I shot that in a way where I tried to make it somewhat artistic - but that was very bloody hard. The sets were shot at home in Australia last year and also in Amsterdam. 

So anyway, my developments with explicit content over the last couple of years have of course been with my partner Aurora. We are adults, we love each other and respect each other, and we have had many, many long conversations about erotica, p*rn and art. We've shot a lot of experimental stuff and never released it as we haven't been satisfied with it in one way or another. We've arrived at a point where the release of the content will be strictly limited to the platforms we've chosen. 

The content represents what a creative loving couple can do, and it is exclusive to us. In other words, Aurora doesn't model like this with any other photographer and I don't shoot like this with any other model. I believe you, my Patrons are fairly artistically minded and will appreciate all I've just said. The work will be placed in this new tier, which isn't cheap, but neither are the pictures or the time and energy spent to create it. The images will be hosted off Patreon and the first set 'Floral Intimates' is nearly ready and we're both super proud of this set.

So why not give it a go and follow our journey through this quagmire of ethic, morals, judgements, conservatism, art and love.

2. The Secrets - $250 a month

Another new tier which has resulted from some recent requests for mentoring and workshops. It's not cheap either but the thinking is that most people won't need more than a month's subscription - and given the cost of my previous one-on-one workshops (which  went for two - three hours) was around $200  + model costs, I think this is more than fair. 

Essentially I'll be here to help you develop your work into a more personal and more artistic space that speaks with your voice. This isn't for everyone. It's not easy but to produce work that cuts it at an artistic level and can be hung in a respectable gallery. I will offer the following services in this new tier:
