My sister and I grew up with our parents taking us to the beach all the time. We each learnt to swim when we were about three years old and from then on swam pretty much every day through summer. We were definitely water babies.
A few weeks ago we went to see an Ocean Film Festival with 7 different short films. Some were rubbish but Broken Breathe above was a beautiful story. Some of the ...

What came first? The backdrop or the model? In this case it was the backdrop. I needed a backdrop that was simple to put together in the limited space we had to work with and white plastic bags gave us a really interesting texture to play with. Almost like clouds behind the model.
Then James said he was coming to town and wanted to shoot and his beautiful skin looked amazing in front of t...

I initially met Nathan back in 2013. We were both part of two different groups of Sydney gays going too Burning Man that year and we were all having semi regular catch ups to talk logistics.
It turned out Nathan was on the gay waterpolo team with a bunch of other people I know so long after Burning Man had come and gone Nathan and I would be at the same events. We are also now part of the...

In a few months time I'll be releasing GLITCH, a download starring the always amazing Charlie. He's been in several downloads already but we did a shoot in January to get some material for the exhibition but we also got some content for downloads.
While you are patiently waiting for the download to come out, I thought I'd make this image this month's desktop wallpaper image. It's a pretty...

Volume Twenty-Three of In My Bed is Aaron. He’s tall with long limbs, some cool tattoos, a string of pearls and an exhibitionist attitude.
We had started the day with a beach shoot which sadly isn't usable for a number of reasons but we followed up with this bed shoot. The bed shoots tend to go one of two directions, fairly reserved or not even remotely reserved. This sits in the second...

Over the past month or two I have been doing so many shoots. They are for downloads as well as the exhibition in October and there have been some wonderful men stepping in front of my lens.
When I remember I take a selfie with the model on the day and as you can see, sometimes that's after stripping off and having a swim at the end of the shoot, depending on the mood and how much ti...

The sun on your skin, the breeze through your hair and sand between your toes. There are few feelings better in the world.
This series was taken on a day at a beautiful National Park nude beach south of Sydney. Nathan and I spent the day enjoying the sunshine and relaxing and now and then exploring the beach and rock pools to take some photos.
Apologies for this post being a day lat...

With people coming to town for Sydney Mardi Gras and World Pride, I'm doing a lot of shoots at the moment. Some are for downloads and some are for the exhibition.
Two of my models are coming from Melbourne and one of them in particular mentioned he loved my underwater shoot and is very comfortable under the water. So using this shoot of my mate Simon as reference we are heading to t...

After so many years with a modest online presence, firstly through my old blog and now with my photography, I really shouldn't be surprised by some of the messages I get. By far the majority of my messages and comments are supportive and lovely but there will always be a small and vocal number of people who seem to project their fantasies, fetishes and assumptions onto my work.
Just yeste...

Seaton and I were introduced by a mutual friend. He was perfect for a concept I was thinking of for the exhibition I’m working towards and is very keen to collaborate on creative concepts. A few of the images at the end of this download are shots that are being used in montages for the exhibition.
Seaton has a different vibe to a lot of the models I photograph. He is possibly the most l...

Before I dive into the story of this shoot I need to apologise for the lateness of this post. I should have technically posted this on Thursday but work has been a lot this week and I was shattered.

It's that day of the year. The day when couples who have been together for a long time realise it's just another day like any other. The day when new couples are all smitten and romantic with each other and the day when single people like me, despite knowing it's just another day, feel like they are missing out.
I realised that I've photographed several duo shoots in the past few years. A...

Sydney can at times feel like a small town. There may be over 5 million people here but especially in the gay world, there are connections all over the place.
In December 2021 I was lying nude on the beach as I often do, chatting to a friend of mine who also happens to be a photographer. Lying in front of us was the lovely Luke, the gentleman getting a piggyback in the image above. I'd wo...

Once again we find ourselves at the first Tuesday of the month. I'm kind of blown away that it is already February.
This month's desktop wallpaper is a rather intimate shot of Adam that you haven't had in a download yet. It's coming soon I promise. I had worked with Adam about 6 years earlier and he was back in the country visiting friends and really wanted to do a shoot. We really strugg...

I will admit that there are times when I get a bit of fatigue shooting and editing to release downloads but by getting ahead of the game and doing periods where I photograph a lot, it means I get other times where I can take a bit of a break. It seems to be a natural ebb and flow. At the moment for instance I'm really in a good flow and enjoying the shoots and the results.
I'm also trying...

This download was sent out to ALL OUT subscribers quite a while ago in a message but I'm putting it here on the main page for all new subscribers as it is a shoot I know people "respond" to.

Towards the end of 2022, like everyone I was fatigued. Tired from the world still not really being back to normal, tired from a big year of working. Just tired.
In the middle of 2022 I realised I had nearly enough content to continue releasing downloads every two weeks for the rest of the year and that's when I decided to start working on the exhibition. By the end of the year my backlog ...

Volume twenty-two of In My Bed is Rith and Miguel. These two turned up for the first shoot in my new room. They were a lot of fun. They started doing solo shots in underwear, then by the end they were both nude and in the bed together.
I had thought of pausing or abandoning the In My Bed series but now in a new bedroom I thought there was some new opportunities. Also I still think it's a ...

The story of Midas Touch is a cautionary tale, a warning to be careful what you wish for. Everything Midas touched, turned to gold. In this series we used that as inspiration with every part of Shon that Chris touched, becoming gold. But does he really want that?

Born in 1983, Joseph Sayers was one of those models that really piqued my interest when he rose to fame probably 10-15 years ago. He was modelling for Abercrombie and Fitch in their heyday, for underwear brands, and as you can see, quite often got nude.
Chiseled features and a sculpted body certainly made him very appealing. His instagram seems to have disappeared so I'm not entirely sure...

The great thing about Sydney being a popular place for tourists and working holiday visitors is that we have a constant influx of beautiful people from around the world for me to photograph.

One of the early shoots released this year was my first attempt at underwater photography on January 26. Nathan has been a co...

When a model is stepping in front of the camera for their first ever shoot there are a lot of nerves and mixed emotions.
Federico was one such model. We’d talked for a long time about doing a shoot and when the time finally came he did a great job. He was about to go on a European summer holiday so he was ripped and in fantastic shape. We started him off with some shots in underwear and...
