Make up! (NSFW)

To start off this shoot - a few shots of Aim fixing up her make up, taken with just the available light in the bathroom.

(No, I was not really being a voyeur, and in fact Aim wasn't really fixing her make up, it was all staged.)

Shooting again! Hooray! (NSFW)

Last night I did my first shoot for about 5 months. I shot Aim at an apartment in the city (on the 62nd floor).

I'll get to processing this on the weekend, so expect some sets next week.

Note the heart shaped bokeh - I wrote before about how that's done in camera.

Lucy In The Creek (NSFW)

Another segment of the shoot with Lucy, splashing in the creek that runs through the national park.

Some of the shots from this set did not quite comply with Patreon's rules, due to a combination of pose and angle. If you would like to see them, you can get them here: https://hal.red/7VDaHs - if you use this code when you buy ...

Lucy Rocks (NSFW)

As requested by a Patron I am working on some more shots of Lucy Artmodel. Unfortunately I have only done one shoot with Lucy - I was supposed to have worked with her again by now, but we have both been in lockdown in separate countries.

A short bit of the shoot for now - Lucy saw this big rock sitting on the middle of the field we were working in and wanted to climb it. I shot from the s...

Lucy On A Rock

The new version of Lightroom Classic released the other day has a new Color Grading tool - I started working on Lucy's shoot and thought I'd try it out. What do you think? I've added the black and white image as well for comparison.

Elen M - Half Door (NSFW)

I posted this one before, but that was before Patreon added the gallery feature, so now they are easier to view.

This was one of the sets that I lost when my computer crashed, so I have just reprocessed them.

I love these half doors, but they are pretty rare in Australia. I found a cottage ...

Elen In Jeans - Part 1

Still in lockdown, still raiding the archives. This is the beautiful Elen M, a tall redhead Czech model who was living in Sydney for a few years but has sadly returned to Europe.

Stay tuned for part 2 where her bra comes off!

Heart Shaped Bokeh - the making of this photo

I posted this photo of Jessica on Flickr and was asked, "And how did you achieve the heart-shaped bokeh?" So this piece is about how that was done, as well as some other considerations that went in to making this picture.

For starters - the hearts were done in camera, this is not a filter, and it was not done in Photoshop.

Shaped bokeh is actually pretty easy to achieve. It seemed t...

Ivory Flame In Window Light (NSFW)

Ivory Flame is a well known art model from the UK, who travels the world. I managed to shoot her twice on trips to Australia.

This shoot took place in a cottage in Melbourne. We noticed some wonderful light coming in the window and made use of it. Trouble was, this is a ground floor window, and several passers by had a look in.

I love the way these turned out - the combination of th...

Makayla, Glitter Shoot Part 4

Final part of this shoot - we found a mirror in the studio so Makayla posed in front of that.

Makayla, Glitter Shoot Part 3

Makayla changed into her swimsuit, and I played with some coloured lights to trick the colours in the background.

Makayla, Glitter Shoot Part 1

Makayla is a young model who contacted me through Instagram and said she wanted to do a glitter shoot - so I signed up a MUA and made it happen.

Good Karma

This was unplanned, she came along as the companion (maybe chaperone?) of the model I was supposed to shoot. But between the model and myself, we convinced her that she should get a few shots.

Hazel bikini

As I said before I have been very unmotivated lately, a combination of work pressures and lockdown.

But, following a request from a Patron, I am trying to force myself back onto the horse (so to speak), and work on my photos of Hazel.

I only got to shoot Hazel twice before she moved back to the States. The first shoot was at a beach, shooting various bit of fashion she has been sent...

Lilly - The Other Outfit

Just in case anyone was curious as to what Lilly Rae's other steampunk outfit was.

Lilly - Steamunk & Railway - Part 2 (NSFW)

As promised yesterday, Lilly Rae strips out of her steam-punk outfit on the railway tracks.

Shout out to all the Patrons who have stuck with me. Thank you, thank you, thanks you. Keep safe, stay home!

Lilly - Steamunk & Railway - Part 1

Most of my Patrons have left this month, and given the current situation I can't blame them. I myself have not been shooting, as I explained before, and I am finding it hard to just sit in front of the computer and think.

But as I said, I will try to keep my stream going with posts from the archives, so along those lines here is Lilly Rae, from a shoot done in 2013.

The location was...

Shooting in the age of COVID-19

First of all, thanks once again for subscribing to my gallery here, it is very encouraging.

So everything is getting harder in these days of social distancing. I was supposed to travel to Tasmania this weekend and I had 3 shoots lined up, but airports and aeroplanes are not the best places to be at the moment, and so that has been cancelled.

The studio I often use is closed until th...

Layla the topless schoolgirl (NSFW)

Layla poses in just stockings, a skirt and a tie - we referred to this part of the shoot as the schoolgirl set, but I assure you Layla is older than that and no longer in school.

Sylp Sia (NSFW)

Sylph Sia poses in the bedroom with just a shirt.

Shot at Tall Dark & Art studio.

For interest I have included one highly processed image, and the original colour image it came from.

Layla - Voyeur Theme (NSFW)

One theme Layla wanted to explore was "the voyeur" - being unknowingly spied upon from another room. Here are those shots, with some experimental black and white treatments thrown in.

Layla's shoot - coming up

I recently had a chance to shoot with Layla again. She is a lot of fun to shoot with, we have a really good dynamic and we got some excellent results.

The purpose of the shoot was to create content for her Onlyfans page - so most of the shots are too... too... well, let's just say that Patron recently issued some guidelines to Creators limiting the type of photo that can be displayed here...

Busy, busy, busy

I feel I have not stopped moving for the last 5 days, and the next 5 days are not looking good either - I hope I can make time to post some new content for you guys.

In the meantime, here is the first processed image from a shoot I did with the fantastic Sylph Sia last weekend. Trying out a new studio, the combination of setting, wardrobe and Sylph's look I felt called out for a film noir...

Lucy Artmodel - A Quick Sampler (NSFW)

I recently did a shoot in bushland with Lucy, another of the young women who travel the world getting naked in front of cameras.

Here, just quickly, are some samples from the shoot - the rest will take a while to process.

I am shooting Sylph Sia again on Sunday, at a new studio (for both of us), so look forward to that next week.

Quick shoot with Amy

These are from a recent shoot with Amy, just a quick casual studio shoot to get to know each other. Before you ask - yes she does shoot nudes, no we did not shoot nudes in this set.

Quick update - shooting Lucy

Yesterday I went out shooting with Lucy - an outdoor art-nude shoot using natural light in a bush location. We shot in the late afternoon, and by choice of shooting spot within the park, and choice of shooting angle, we were able to achieve some great results. Then the walk out totally exhausted us!

Barely started processing these, but hope to have a set up real soon.

Once again the month is getting away from me - so much processing to do, so little time to do it.

Kay Lisa - Boudoir in Vancouver (NSFW)

Kay is a model from Vancouver Island who I got to shoot in a little cottage in Vancouver (the city) as I was passing through.

She had been hired the week before to play Ripley (from the "Alien") films, hence the close cropped hair. She was going to bring wigs, they didn't arrive, we shot anyway.
