The story behind Night Swim

Kieran has appeared in three of my downloads, Night Swim, Garage and Red. This is the story of the first shoot we collaborated on, Night Swim.

Switching places

Over the years I have from time to time stepped in front of the camera for photographer friends. It's a daunting task but one that can also be a lot of fun. I've often said that I believe everyone should pose nude at some stage in their life. It becomes less about how you see yourself and more how the photographer or the artist sees you.

Last night I had quite the role reversal with one o...

Collared - Download

Very few of my models are “real” models. Some, like Chris, have never really been in front of a professional camera and certainly not nude. The idea for this shoot came to me after meeting Chris several times. We were using the sticks for a project at my work and once we were done they formed this collar.

The collar combined with the powder and Chris’ poses give this shoot a semi-re...

The story behind Early Riser

There are times when I turn up on a shoot with the vibe that the model is going to be fairly modest and then I get totally surprised by the complete lack of modesty.

Trent turned up was visiting Sydney and wanted to do a shoot and of course I was happy to photograph him. Look at him! He's a very sexy guy but I didn't realise how comfortable he would be showing off for the camera. There ar...

Let's go Mitch

It's very rarely that I get to work with professional models for a number of reasons. Usually agencies get a bit strange about models doing nude work and also I just can't afford to pay professionals. 

So I was very pleasantly surprised when a model I've been following for a whi...

Steven Returns - Download

Four years ago, Steven and I did our first collaboration where we went on a little adventure to a spot just out of Sydney, in to the Royal National Park that I’d been to with friends. Do you think I could find the right spot? No. I had us walking all over the place through the bush trying to find the place. In the end we did a shoot, relaxed and had a lovely day.

I will admit that I was...

It's a strange thing

The idea of video art is an appealing one, but at the same time I'm really not sure. Photography is definitely where my heart lies and video would only ever be a documentation of my photography or a side-piece to my photography. A beautiful video can be completely mesmerising, but more often than not, it's just not.

Every artist has to stay true to themselves. I see a lot of work presente...

Bob - Wallpaper

For this month's free desktop wallpaper image I thought I'd share one of my favourite shots from the Muscle Beach download of Bob. It made sense to photograph him against these rocks at Obelisk beach since his body is practically carved from stone.

It would be fantastic to work with him again. He's gone quite grey in the 6 years or so since this shoot and is now sporting a bunch of very l...

Watched - Download

Voyeurism and exhibitionism go hand in hand. A man comes home and thinks he has the house to himself. He makes himself more comfortable by removing all his clothes and pouring himself a wine. It is only then that he realises someone is watching.

If someone is going to watch then he decides he should put on a show. He has a slow and sexy shower before exploring his body in the bedroom.

More flashbacks

Tonight I thought we'd revisit this old photo shoot from April 2009 with Kieran. It was my second shoot with Kieran, the first being a shoot in the middle of the night at Bronte Beach pool. 

This one was, once again, in the middle of the night because we were shooting in the underground carpark of my apartment complex of the time and it might have been hard to explain with people dri...

Bedazzled - Download

When working with a new model, it’s important to make sure they are comfortable. David is not a stranger to being in front of the camera but for our first collaboration we tried to find a concept we both liked.

The idea of sticking jewels all over his body was the concept we decided on. There were some technical issues with getting them to stay stuck and at one point we thought it was g...

Oh the memories

Way back in 2009 I wasn't shooting as often as I am now. Photography was very much a hobby that didn't fill as much of my time as it does now. I met James here through a friend who was also one of my models, Jonathan. They knew each other through bodybuilding.

As you can see, James definitely hit the gym. He was 23 at the time of these photographs if I remember correctly. He probably woul...

David - Behind the Scenes

I have finally got around to putting together the behind the scenes video we filmed on the shoot for David's download. 

As is the standard now, the full frontal, uncensored video is only for you, my Patreon subscribers. It's my way of saying thank you for your support and of course the censored version will be available publicly and fingers crossed get a few people to come this way t...

I sent this download out in direct messages to ALL OUT subscribers quite a while ago but with so many new supporters (thank you) I thought I would put it here on the main page.

This shoot was a lot of fun. There was a lot of drama surrounding twitch the model in the aftermath but the shoot itself was bonkers and fun. The model, a former adult performer, was walking around between shots ha...

MANYONE is coming

MANYONE is coming. My third solo gallery exhibition is coming next October, 2023. Timed to coincide with my 50th birthday it will feature large scale photographic images shot in the studio, out on location and, all going to plan, underwater.

It will have been over 10 years since my last solo exhibition and I think the milestone of my 50th birthday seems like as good a reason as any. Combi...

Celebrating Rhett

This week is Trans Awareness week, at least here in Australia. From Sunday 13th to Sunday 20th we are celebrating all those fabulous trans people. 

So far sadly I have only photographed one trans man for my own projects. It seems a shame because there are some very sexy trans men out there and I'd love to photograph them.

Rhett was one of the models in my In My Bed series and h...

Ashore - Download

Who is the mystery man who has washed ashore? Exploring his surroundings he remains anonymous trying to find shelter before the storm hits.

When Lincoln came to town I knew we’d be able to get some good shots even with a brief window of opportunity. The skies were ominous and the temperature was cold but it only added to the mood.

Lincoln is a cheeky nudist who likes being nude wh...

The story behind Muscle Beach

There are some guys you just don't say no to a shoot with. Bob was visiting Australia from the US and contacted me asking if I'd be interested in working with him. As soon as I saw his body, of course I said yes.

Bob has devoted his life to his fitness and training and made training his career. At the time we did this shoot 6.5 years ago he was 55 years old. It takes a lot of work to look...

The collection

Over the weekend I spent some time putting artwork up in my apartment that I've bought over the past year or two and recently had framed. None of it is the originals because I'm definitely not a rich man. But as I finished putting it up I realised I've ended up with images from nearly all my favourite artists and photographers.

My apartment has a large empty wall opposite the kitchen and ...

Will In My Bed - Download

I can't believe I haven't shared this on here properly. I think I sent this one out in a message to all my top tier followers a long time ago but was concerned about putting it directly on the page because of content and guidelines. But I've shared similar since without a problem so now, with lots of new followers (thank you all) I'm posting it on the main page.

Ah, Greg...

There was quite a while that I had the dream of getting my photography on the cover of DNA Magazine. It seemed like a great goal to have to have photographed someone for the cover of an international magazine and that is one that I vaguely still have. Probably not for DNA though. I have absolutely no problem with them but if I'm going to aim for a cover shot, I think I'll aim for a celebrity sh...

Bed - Wallpaper

Those of you who have been here a long time know that on the first Tuesday of every month I give you a desktop wallpaper for you to put on your computer. This month I thought I'd go back and find an image from a very very sensual shoot I did with real life lovers.

The full photo shoot doesn't quite go all the way, they saved that for after I left but let's just say it was a shoot with a l...

Timber - Download

This is one of those shoots that turned out quite differently to the original thought in my head. I can’t quite articulate how, but it is true.

It turned out better. Jesse is a lovely man with a striking look, beautiful skin and an understanding of how to present himself. The images turned out a bit more minimalist than the original concept but somehow more moody and a little forlorn be...

Setting the goal

If everything goes to plan next year, I'm going to have a big year especially the second half. One of the things happening next year is my 50th birthday and I've set that as the timeframe to work on my self portrait project and release a download. It sounds entirely self indulgent and arrogant but I'm actually hoping it's a cathartic process.

This image above was taken at the start of loc...

Adding to my wish list

I consider myself very lucky, having been doing photography for 18 years now and having a large body of work to show for it, means I get guys from all over the world who are interested in working with me if we ever find ourselves in the same place.

A recent discovery is this man. To be honest I'm not sure of his real name but on instagram he is 2022-10-25 09:22:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Thank you!

A couple of weeks ago I posted that Calum here needed some assistance and people really stepped up. I wanted to say thank you to the people who subscribe here on Patreon but still went and bought the download directly to help him out.

In the end we raised over a weeks worth of rent for him to ease the stress in his last few weeks here. He wanted me to add his thanks to mine. Calum was ver...

Sorry everyone. I just accidentally hit publish on a post that I meant to hit "save" on and had to delete it. My apologies for teasing you with an email about a post that is now gone.

The story of Andrew

My first ever male nude model, Erik put me in touch with Andrew. Andrew is one of his mates who loves challenging himself and stepping outside his comfort zone and posing nude is something he'd never done and decided fit with his ethos of challenging himself.

Andrew is one of the limited number of straight men that I've photographed over the years but he had no qualms getting nude and sur...

Ah Vlad

Several years ago I came across the work of Canadian photographer and "erotic self portraitist" Mikel Marton. His work is very queer, quite bonkers, erotic and often features young men who have the beauty that comes with youth but the bodies and "assets" of men.

One of those men is Vlad. As you can see he has a very strong visual appeal. As well as being a sometime model he is a professio...

I’ve been questioned a lot over the years about why I only shoot really athletic and defined guys, so recently I put a call out on Instagram wanting to do a shoot and my mate David put his hand up, at the same time saying “I know I’m not the kind of guy you usually photograph.”

I messaged straight back saying, “Let’s do it”. Off we went to the National Park where David was i...
