Never enough Niko

It was two years ago that one of my favourite guys on Instagram was paying a visit to Australia and made the time to collaborate. Niko is an absolutely stunning individual. and getting to work with him was an absolute joy because not only is he stunning, he's a talented dancer and a beautifully down-to-ear...

Just passing through

Those of us who photograph beautiful people are always looking for new models and thankfully, Sydney is one of those cities that attracts a lot of people from around the world that visit for a holiday or even come and live here for a year or two.

Anderson is one of those guys. He is a beautiful Brazilian man who was living in Sydney a few years ago. This shoot was going to be part of my o...

When Alex came to visit Sydney we did two shoots. HOTEL was the first one and that has been shared here on Patreon before. The morning after shooting in the Hotel room, we got up fairly early and headed outside for this shoot.

Alex is not a shy man and has no reason to be at all, as you can see. Alex is the kind of guy that takes an opportunity when it comes his way. If he has an isolated...

Shon In My Bed - Download

This download was released last year prior to this Patreon page starting and I realised I'd never shared it with you all. Shon is a really sweet guy from the US, living here now and he's an absolute joy to work with. He's always cheeky and fun. With the Bed series I ask the guys to think about the mood or tone of the shoot they want and to bring any props they might like to use.

Taking a chance

Back on the 1st of November 2009 I did my first ever studio photo shoot. Was I terrified? Absolutely. I had four guys lined up one after the other to do shoots. Some of them were more successful than others. This man, Brad, had messaged me through my blog and expressed an interest in posing for me. Brad had done a shoot with a fitness photographer back home in Canada and never received the phot...

Emilio - Download

A Spanish man, living in Australia, Emilio decided to take the plunge and do a photo shoot. It wasn’t the most beautiful morning but it made for some nice lighting. Emilio may have been nervous but not once did he complain about being uncomfortable or cold, even after he rolled around in the water with the wind blowing fiercely across the rocks.

Hopefully soon, the weather will start to...

Does it sell?

There have been many many men nude in front of my camera and they all bring something different to showcase. In the past three years or since I put the first download for sale on my website it has intrigued me to see what sells and what doesn't. In that time the top selling releases are the more graphic sexual downloads which I guess is no surprise but not that far behind are some downloads tha...

Can it be done?

Copenhagen would have to be one of my favourite cities that I've ever visited and it might well just be because I don't think an unattractive Danish person exists. They also have a great sense of design and a beautiful attitude towards nudity. It is also the only foreign city that I've  city outside Australia I've done a proper photo shoot.

In 2017 I had plans to do a photo shoot in ...

Monday motivation

There are a lot of professional male models out there in the world that I would dearly like to work with but right up at the top is Pietro Boselli. He may have started modelling at the age of 6 but he also graduated with first class honours in his Bachelors of Engineering. The internet took notice of him a few years ago when he was lecturing in maths and a student took some photos of him and pu...

Bushwalk - Download

With Sydney in a lockdown in Winter I thought I'd remind us all of warmer times with this shoot of Fernando. I came to know Fernando through another photography project I was part of which then became the official lead float in the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade. 

We set off one beautiful morning to catch the early light and get some photos of him, deciding on a bush sett...

The grand plan?

Since starting this Patreon page, I've been sharing my new release downloads with you every two weeks, a week before they are released on my website. In the weeks in between, and sometimes at extra times as well, I've been working my way through the back catalogue of already released downloads. At some stage in the future, that will come to an end as I won't have any back catalogue to work thro...

Sparkle - Download

Jezz is back. The same day we photographed the Wrapped series, we wrapped this one and for obvious reasons we did this second before Jezz went home to have a good scrub in the shower. We all know that glitter never comes off though so he's probably still sparkly now even though this shoot was back in February.

The body on this man is incredible and with his deep skin tone the glitter was ...

Recurring themes

Not all ideas creatives have end up being successful or even sometimes feasible. For a while I had an idea to create a bit of a sideline series in conjunction with all the other shoots I do. The plan was to take this chair that I'd bought at IKEA and painted white, on all the shoots I do and at the start and/or the end of the shoot, photograph each model in it. I'd happily let the chair become ...

Going a LONG way back

I thought for tonight's post I would go a long way back into the vault and bring you these shots of Kerry. This was the second shoot I ever did, back in 2004. Previously I think I'd said that Andy was my second model but that was apparently not the truth.

It escapes my memory where Kerry came to my attention but it was likely to be Gaydar back in 2004. As you can see he has a spectacular ...

Steven - Download

Black and White photography, especially of nudes seems to be a default. People can see the same photo in colour, next to a black and white version and they will say the B&W one is "artistic". Is it really? Like a lot of people I have used black and white a lot in the past. My entire first exhibition was black and white as was about half of the second.

There is a danger of making a pho...

Measuring success

There are shoots that you can feel straight away that you have some magic happening. The dynamic between you and the model is amazing, what you're seeing on the back of the camera is looking good and ideas are going to plan, sometimes it's just a feeling. 

Then there are other shoots that are just really hard work. Lucas is a model I've worked with 5 times now and this particular tim...

Iconic imagery

Today I became the owner of three Bruce Weber images. They aren't "originals" but they are authorised official prints. For anyone not familiar with Mr Weber, he single handedly defined the iconic look for Abercrombie & Fitch, including their notorious "catalogues" that became collectable.

I have long admired his work and have come to realise that he probably has had some influence in ...

Aaron In My Bed - Download

Good morning to all of you. This morning as promised I bring you a special Patreon edition of Aaron In My Bed. Aaron has appeared in a few downloads over the past couple of years and he is so much fun to work with.

Inside & Outside - OUT NOW!

After thinking about it for a long time, a few queries from followers and now a few months in preparation, I'm very proud to announce that two hard cover books of my work are OUT NOW!

Inside the Studio and Outside the Studio. Two very different ways of shooting and equally as much fun. These two books cover 8 years of photography from the start of 2013 to the end of 2020 and feature 88 di...

Happy anniversary

One year ago today I launched this Patreon account to the world. In that time I've posted a lot of content and there are no plans to stop any time soon. Obviously with the top tier subscription you get more content than the lower tiers but I always try and cater for everyone to make sure people are getting value for money.

Poolside - Wallpaper Download

This shoot from early 2018 with Phoenix was very popular when I released it as a download and you can see why. All of my models are gorgeous, obviously but Phoenix has a real charisma and charm that you can see in the photos.

Tall, broad shouldered, long limbed and absolutely beautiful, he looked amazing lounging around and in the pool for this shoot. Now you can have him as your desktop ...

Whatever your fantasy, there is someone available to help you fulfil it. Chris is one of those men. Pay him by the hour and your dreams come true.  This shoot was originally conceived for him to have images to use for promotion and of course it became this download.

The second model...

Way back at the start of my male nude photography journey, the shoots were few and far between. Erik my first model was photographed in February 2004. These shots of Mark were taken in December of the same year and he was my second model. When you have no portfolio to show people and you really aren't sure of what you are doing it's a daunting task to ask people to model for you nude.

Remembering an icon

The word Icon has been very much overused in recent years. With social media and sensationalist news has come a tendency to label something as the best ever, the most this, the most that and it drives me crazy.

So when I say that Herb Ritts was a photography icon, I mean it. He created incredible images that are still instantly recognisable and often imitated. The image of Djimon Hounsou ...

Eight years of work

At the time of my last gallery exhibition I released a hardcover book Aussielicious Men covering all of my photography up to and including the images from that exhibition. In recent years a few people have asked if I'll be releasing another book any time soon. Some of them didn't realise there had ...

Leo Gets Marbled

Three months ago I released this shoot with Leo who you have also seen in one of the "In My Bed" shoots. He's one of the loveliest guys and so fun to work with. 

It's taken until this last week to get around to editing the video of the shoot. I've been very concerned about getting in trouble with Youtube for breaching guidelines with nudity. There was also a thought about monetisatio...

This is an exclusive for my top tier subscribers. We did this shoot two years ago and Luke was interviewing for a job role between shooting and releasing the download on my website so he asked me to take out some of the more intense photos. He's now not concerned, even making a few guest appearances in some other guys' home movies for their onlyfans. 

So in an exclusive for you guys ...

Heavily Influenced

If you cast a critical eye over the work of any photographer specialising in figure photography, whether they are straight or gay, you are likely to be able to discern what they are sexually attracted to. If you look at my work I don't often photograph hairy guys because I'm not as attracted to hair on a guy as I am a smooth guy.

Treating myself

There are, for all of us, moments etched in our memory from our formative years that have become with hindsight, signposts of what was to come. 

Way back in 1990, I was in my second last year of high school and not yet aware even within myself that I was gay. I would go into the bigger bookshop in town and look at art books, photography books, buy surfing magazines and have a general...

Russy - Download

Nearly three years after our first shoot which I shared just a few days ago, Russy came back for another shoot. This one was a short and sharp, simple set up in the studio. 

With a body like Russy's you don't need an elaborate setup so the shoot was just him draped in some lightweight, pale blue fabric. It's colour really played well against his naturally deep tanned skin tone and wi...
