An Australian photographic success story who has always been an inspiration is Paul Freeman. I became aware of Paul's work way back in the day, about the same time as I discovered my biggest photographic inspiration, James Houston.
Both of these men were photographing Australian celebrities for an art photography magazine called Black + White here in the 90's. While James moved to New Yor...

A couple of followers have commented asking if I am only releasing downloads every two weeks now. I thought I had articulated myself but I apologise because that obviously wasn't the case.
A little while ago I released the download PLASTIC. That was the last of the downloads in my back catalogue. I began this Patreon page a while after I started releasing downloads directly through ...

This is an idea that I'd had for the exhibition for a long time. As you may or may not be aware, the whole exhibition is going to feature images where there are multiple figures in the image but it's all the same person. So being the lunatic that I can sometimes be, I had the idea to literally merge all the figures for one of the images.
When I was working with the amazing Jim a few weeks...

Back in April of 2009 I collaborated with the sexy Kieran for our second photographic adventure. From memory I'd met Kieran through the blog that I used to run, and he'd messaged me expressing an interest in posing for me.
Just like our previous collaboration, NIGHT SWIM, this one was done late at night. We were shooting in the underground car park of the complex I was living in so to min...

I've had the gallery booked for some time now but as I get closer to finishing all the shoots for the exhibition I thought it was time to start doing some promotion. Where better to start than by letting you, my amazing subscribers, know when and where to come along.

A bit over a week ago I spent the afternoon in the studio working on new downloads and more images for the exhibition. I'm nearly done on shooting for the exhibition, just a couple more shoots to do.
First up in the studio was David. If you head on over to Twitter you'll see that he isn't sh...

I honestly can't remember how I came into contact with Phoenix. He's a guy that I think I'd seen on the socials through people I know. He is a thoroughly sweet guy which is always a pleasant surprise. Maybe I'm cynical and jaded but when someone is connected to the gay scene, even just vaguely I think we are conditioned to believe they are going to be shallow and arrogant.
Thankfully in a...

One of the Aussie photographers really doing well for a number of years himself is Jake O'Donnell. He's been consistently working really hard for a number of years and while I was always envious of his success he's managed to really step it up in the past couple of years.

I know Covid threw us all out of rhythm and there are essentially two years that nothing was particularly normal but it still catches me off guard when I realise how long ago a shoot was. This shoot was from 2018.

On Sunday I got up early to pick up some friends to do a shoot for my exhibition. This was a long time in the planning and after a failed attempt a month or so ago so I was anxious. It feels like I'm running out of time for these outdoor exhibition shoots. The weather is cooling off here and even though Saturday was sunny and warm, Sunday was cloudy.
Perhaps if we'd waited til later...

This was another one of the shoots that was causing me a lot of tension this week. I won't go into details but suffice to say it's been 11 months since this shoot actually happened.
Jimmy hasn't done a lot of shoots but he warmed up to nakedness fairly quickly. Although in the time since the shoot a lot of the more erotic shots from this shoot have been culled sadly.
This was ...

After a rough week of experiences with models, I'm not sure I should post this story but I will. It's next on my list to tell so here we go. Most of it is sweet.
Leonardo was an Italian traveller that I somehow stumbled across on Instagram. I reached out and asked him if he'd be interested in a shoot. It wasn't really a surprise when he said he'd never done a nude shoot but he did agree. ...

Just over a year ago, Jim had never done a nude photo shoot and I was lucky enough to be his first. We have gone on to do four shoots so far that have resulted in the downloads Washaway, Jim In My Bed, Duo, and Jim. We have also just made plans to do another shoot which will hopefully result in a second image of Jim in my exhibition later in the year.
I found out today that Jim has decide...

The photography world I find myself in is a little strange at times. It isn't lost on me that it's not that common to be asking people to take their clothes off to take photos and sometimes people's circumstances change after a shoot.
Recently I had a model ask me to remove his shoots. He said they were hurting his dating life which I say is rubbish. After going backwards and forwards wit...

Back in 2016 I was starting to push myself out of my comfort zone and really jump at opportunities to work with people, to have the confidence to ask them even if I didn't think they would.
That's when Timothy popped up on my instagram feed in a photo taken by a Brisbane photographer friend. So before I could second guess myself I shot him a message saying if he was ever in Sydney, I'd lo...

It had been 6 years since I last collaborated with Adam since he lives on the other side of the world.

Unlike the movie series, when I photographed a guy I know, Scott at home, alone, he wasn't rigging booby traps to catch thieves, he was relaxing nude around the apartment.

In the 19 years that I've been doing photography of male nudes, people's comfort levels with what they will do on camera have come so far.
Exploring more erotic work and seeing just how far the line between art and erotica can be blurred is definitely something I enjoy. The vast majority of my work has been individual models but something exciting happens to the energy when there are two ...

I can't remember where I first became aware of Aaron Taylor-Johnson but it was a long time before he popped up in the Marvel Universe.

There are few models out there who are as fearless as Charlie. He is yet to complain on any shoot that I’ve worked with him on no matter how bizarre my request.
Charlie is not afraid to look odd or less than perfect, and as a result, always looks amazing and goes that extra mile to get a spectacular image.
