Happy Australia Day!

It's a long weekend here in Australia, and I'm going to be away. But I am doing 2 shoots over the weekend, so I hope to get some more sets up next week.

Thanks again for your ongoing support!

Aim Naked On The Sand (NSFW)

Beautiful young model Aim Stage at the beach.

Aim Stage - Beach Strip (NSFW)

Aim arrived at the beach, a bit inappropriately, wearing a LBD (little black dress). As soon as she determined we had the beach to ourselves, she stripped out of it.

Night Walk with Cheyanne - Part 2 (NSFW)

Here are the rest of the photos.

Night Walk with Cheyanne - Part 1 (NSFW)

Cheyanne is a very experienced art nude model who travels all over Australia, and now runs La Nu, an art nude model agency. I've worked with Cheyanne many times over the last 8 years, so when she was in town recently we caught up then went for a walk after dark.

The location is Birrarung Marr - a walk from Federation Square down to the sports precinct just outside Melbourne's CBD. The sho...

Angharada - Green Dress

The first set processed from my Vancouver shoots, Angharada wearing, then barely wearing, then not wearing her green dress.

The set was too big for Patreon, there are a lot more photos on Bentbox, which Patrons can access with an 80% discount - visit http://bit.ly/2QbfvXh and use promo code j0TaX

What I did on my holidays... (NSFW)

Dear Patrons,

I am so sorry to have been MIA for so long. The day job really got on top of me, and so I have done very little shooting and almost no processing over the last 2 months.

But now I am on holiday and I hope I will come back with more energy and purpose.

I am on the road i...

Beware of fakes...

In any model photography, and especially in nude photography, there has to be a good working relationship which is built on trust. So beware of people who are not what they claim to be.
Yesterday I received a text: "Hi, saw your ad looking for models and I am interested, Sarah"
The ad was for a shoot months ago when I was interstate, but as I was going to be back in the same place next ye...

Sienna - wall and shadow (NSFW)

Part 4 - we finished with some gently lit nudes against the wall, playing with the shadow as well as her figure.

Sienna Fine Art Nude (NSFW)

Part 3 from this shoot - we moved into high contrast fine art nudes.

Bikini Competition (NSFW)

Sienna entered a bikini posing competition, and she won!
This set starts with fashion lighting to show off the outfit and give her some shots she can use for competition entry and such like, then we moved on to shots with a black background and coloured lights. Sienna liked that lighting so much that we went on and did some topless and nude shots with that lighting.
There is a bit of a tr...

Sporty Sienna

Part I of my studio shoot with Sienna - she is concentrating on her tone and fitness at the moment (for a competition, see Part II), so we started out with an activewear outfit combined with poses and movement to emphasise her tone.

Some more sets with Sienna will come out over the next few days.

Repost: Sandra fairy lights shoot

I posted this shoot before, but a Patron requested more Sandra, and the new gallery format makes it easier to post a large collection - so here are a bunch more photos from the fairy lights shoot.

I am hoping to shoot Sandra again before the end of the year.

A thought on framing (NSFW)

I have grown fond of this particular framing, especially in art nude photography, from the top of the head to just below the breasts. I think it makes a very attractive image. This is from a recent shoot with Sienna, more when I get some other recent shoots processed.

This is in 2:3 aspect ratio, which is what my camera produces natively (well, very close).

Another advantage of this...

Emma B - Corset (NSFW)

Just like it says on the tin.

(I threw this set together last night because Emma is going to buy some.)

Sandra Vampi - the suit shoot

A sexy shoot, themed around a suit bought at an op shop.

Elen M reading in the cottage

A patron requested more Elen M content, so I am starting work on this shoot.

Sylph Sia - Fine Art Nudes

A set of fine art nudes shot with the beautiful Sylph Sia a while ago.

7 Foot Umbrellas Of Doom (NSFW)

I am about to post a set of fine art nude/figure studies featuring Sylph Sia. This was shot back in 2017, and I was trying out a new lighting set up with a pair of very large reflecting umbrellas, or as I like to call them - the 7 foot umbrellas OF DOOM!

They are called that because the have a tendency to overbalance lighting stands, which can lead to disaster (AKA broken studio flashes)....

Hooray! Patreon now supports galleries!

Patreon has just changed the way that image posts are handled - I can now post multiple images that will show up nicely as a gallery.

To test it out, here is one from the archives - an American fashion designer who models on eh side under the simple name "Muse".

Jayde Helena - Green Outfit

Here are the photos from last weekend's shoot. Find Jayde at https://www.instagram.com/jaydehelenaa/

Meet Jayde Helena

Jayde is a tattooed model and Suicide Girls hopeful - you can find her on Instagram @jaydehelenaa

We have been talking for a while about doing a Suicide Girls shoot for submission, I think that will happen but the stars have not yet aligned for that.

A few weeks ago Jayde made a post that concluded, "Send me new people to go on adventures with." So I wrote and said that although we ...

Romahni on the balcony

From the archives - Romahni poses on a balcony in blue jeans and a white top - then without the top.

Blue Velvet

Another from the archives - model Blue Velvet in her hotel room, some lingerie and some nude.

Jessi - White Out

From the archive - beautiful Jessi on a pure white background.

Emma - Red Jacket

Oh wonderful patrons, processing this set has taken much longer than anticipated, so sorry for the lack of posts. This week I will line up some photos from the archive, so there should be a few additions before the end of the month!

It's curtains for Irina

OK, so life has got in the way of processing. But in the meantime here is a set of beautiful Russian Irina posing in some curtains. Topless and nude. Mostly monochrome.

Irina - fashion shoot at the pink lake

While I am getting Emma's shots ready, here from the archive is a shoot I did with Irina at Melbourne's pink lake. All these were done with natural light.

Phew, now back to work

I have finally got my photography software installed on my new PC, so back to editing photos and posting to Patreon (and other social media).

My next round of processing will be Emma, who I shot a week or so ago.

Kiko in Autumn Leaves

Here, at last, are the photos from the Autumn Leaves shoot.
