Sometimes in life we get caught up in the chaos of the world. All of our committments and responsibilities can feel too much for some people. Other people thrive on that frenetic activity. Which one are you?
Aaron came to the studio and willingly subjected himself to the strange idea of being tangled up in the chaos of loose wire. The idea was a loosely formed concept that evolved as we p...

It has finally arrived. Before Christmas I posted that I had ordered the underwater housing for my camera and today, it arrived. It was very securely wrapped and protected as you can see on the left and then when I got it all out of it's cocoons and put it together I couldn't stop smiling.
One of my models and I have already made plans for the first shoot (after testing it) at a beautiful...

It's quite entertaining when you realise where some of your preferences and influences may have come from. Way back in the early 90's, before I even came out there was a website that sold VHS soft core videos of muscle worship bodybuilders.
They were full of guys randomly getting changed in car parks before a workout or showering under back yard showers in their underwear before stripping...

Working with a first time nude model, you never know what you are going to get. Leon is quite a modest guy with beautiful, striking features from his French and Lebanese heritage, combined with quite a few tattoos over his body.
His golden skin in the soft morning light, amongst the rocks just looked gorgeous. He has an androgynous vibe to him that was very intriguing and quite beautiful....

The 6th season of Queer Eye finally arrived on our screens on New Year's Eve and brought me the usual tears of happiness.
One of the things that did bring me joy was the way they have embraced the jock status and visual appeal of Antoni. He's about the only chef I know of that has a body like that. He clearly has more discipline with his diet than I do and knows how to make the healthy st...

Happy New Year!
Thank you all very much for your support here on Patreon. Some of you have been with me from the start and it's very much appreciated.
To start the new year I thought I'd share a fairly suitable download. With the dawn of a new year, lots of us make promises to look after ourselves better, lose weight, go to the gym, etc etc. Tom here is already looking after himself...

I've just got back from a few days with a friend who lives close to Australia's snow fields. Our ski season is short and unreliable and as someone that prefers warm weather, I haven't been down there for ages but my friend loves to ski and loves cold weather so he moved down there a few months ago. On Tuesday we did a long hike up to the top of Australia's highest mountain which sounds impressi...

It's not uncommon for actors and models to find themselves posing nude in the early days of their careers and then try and distance themselves from those nudes later in their career.
Djimon Hounsou is an actor that these days appears in movies like the upcoming The Kings Man as well as being in the Marvel Universe. Back in his early days he appeared in music videos for Madonna, Paul...

Once upon a time I had an idea for a recurring theme across all my shoots, so I went to IKEA to buy a simple chair, brought it home, put it together and painted it white.
The idea was to take the chair on all my shoots and have the model pose in it before the main shoot and after, both in their street clothes and then however they ended up on that shoot, either painted, covered in powder ...

There are a million places I'd like to photograph my models but time constraints and accessibility mean that sometimes you have to be a bit cheeky with where you do the shoot.
This shoot was back in 2012 for my Freedom exhibition and I knew I wanted the model, Leigh to be doing yoga on a cliff overlooking the ocean and for some reason I decided that the cliffs next to the golf course righ...

This shot of Marko was one of my favourites from this shoot so in the week leading up to Christmas I thought I'd make it a wallpaper for you all to download and put on your screens as a pleasant way to see the year out.

This shoot was over five years ago but I kept wanting to release it for a download. Back when I shot it there was a bit of a technical issue with some of the images on a white background which was very tricky to fix. I kept going back to the images to see if there was anything I could do.
Instead of trying to “fix” them, what about manipulate them? Leaving a photo shoot for a while to...

I grew up in and around the water from a young age. My first proper swimming lesson was at about the age of 3 and by the age of 7 or 8 we were doing swimming training most days through summer every year for the rest of my school years.
I've also always enjoyed photographing men in and around water too. There is something about a beautiful man whose skin is glistening with water that looks...

When I opened my first gallery exhibition over ten years ago, the first image I sold was the main image of the figure covered in mesh, at the top of this post.

It happens that my friend is also good friends with James Houston, but it is incredibly flattering to know my work...

For straight people there is a time in their life when they almost "imprint" on the kind of person they find attractive and it usually happens around the time they hit puberty and start finding people sexy. Most of the time it's people in the public eye.
For gay people, especially those of us that didn't work it out til our mid twenties or later, you get to do it again when you start work...

These two guys knew each other and came to me with the idea of posing in a shoot together. I had photographed each of them a couple of times in really enjoyable shoots that ended up with beautiful images so of course I jumped at the chance of shooting them together.

David is a model I've worked with on four different shoots and I would say yes any damn time he wanted to collaborate. He's an artist himself, working on video pieces like this one and beautiful photographic imagery evoking renaissance paintings in a modern photo.

This is my first behind the scenes video in a while. I really enjoy making them but it's not always practical to film a shoot but this time my mate Tim was free and willing to get up early again and come and do the honours.
Marko is a mate who is very easy to work with. As you can see he has no qualms about being nude, he just didn't want his junk on YouTube which is totally fair enough.<...

We all know I'm a fan of photographing a man nude in nature. It's so simple and elegant. Of course I love getting a bit more creative and bonkers in the studio too but when Marko put up his hand to do another shoot, nature was the obvious choice.
Marko and I had collaborated on his shoot for the "Masked" series in the studio so it was time to mix things up a bit. He was also comfortable w...

Just over a week ago, Marko became my first outdoor model since Covid. Marko is a fan of hiking and being out in nature, but apparently the slippery rocks in this river brought him undone. Thankfully he wasn't badly hurt and walked away with just a bleeding finger.
The full shoot will be released here on Patreon this coming Sunday and I think there are some beautiful photos in it.

When people travel, they bring things to the culture they are visiting and they learn things as well.
Charly has come to Australia and has brought the European attitude towards nudity. He’s a French masseur enjoying his time here in Australia and teaching us how to be comfortable in your skin. Of course it isn’t hard when you are young and look after yourself the way Charly does.

Have you ever felt lost, not sure of where you are going? I'm sure most of us have at some point. That's what I'm feeling a little bit at the moment with photography. After so many months off I'm excited to dive back in, but second guessing myself. That will change and I'm sure I'll be back up to full speed soon.

On Sunday morning I had my first photo shoot since May, thanks to Covid lockdowns here in Sydney. My camera had been packed away in the cupboard since I moved house unused so I was rather concerned when I pulled it out and somehow it's broken.

Thankfully I have a spare camera which I could use for ...
