I got myself all completely confused this morning and forgot that it's not the day for an archive download, but this new one instead. So my All Out patrons are getting two downloads this morning!
When the moment is captured, sometimes a photograph of a dancer looks like they are perfectly still. When they are wearing a fringed collar that hangs to the floor there is no danger of that happ...

As Summer slowly relinquishes it’s grip and Autumn makes it’s way to Sydney, a Brazilian traveller spends a morning shortly after dawn looking at the water and enjoying the feel of the breeze on his body.
Lucas was fearless in this shoot, despite being a little bit cold he had no qualms in stripping off for the camera and as you can see, enjoying himself despite the exposed location.<...

One of my first models was the gorgeous and lovely Andy. Andy was at the time doing some stripping and was beautifully put together. A few years after our first shoot he and some of his stripping mates needed some photos. I don't think about that shoot very much because Andy was the only one to get nude and the shots were for them to use, not for me. But recently I came across one of the guys o...

I'm making a very concerted effort to produce more content on my youtube channel, both because I actually enjoy doing it, and because I think it will be good to promote this page. The more patrons I have here, means the more effort I can afford to put in to my photography.
The In My Bed series has proven to be quite popular which I'm grateful for. As you know it started as a respons...

There are many photos of Max The Pony going around on the internet from his Onlyfans page, his tumblr and all the work he’s done with other talented photographers.
So it was a surprise to hear that Max had never done an outdoor natural light photo shoot before. It has taken us about three years ...

Steven is another Sydney based model who recently stripped off and rolled around in my bed. It seems like this covid-inspired series is quite popular. The models seem to feel safe and comfortable doing them and you, the viewers seem to enjoy them as well.
This model has been modelling for a few years and doing some really nice work for a range of Sydney photographers. With Sydney being a ...

It would seem that finding a time to have a LIVE Q&A session is very difficult. So there is an alternative plan. This Sunday afternoon (Australia time) I will record a video answering all your questions, well appropriate questions.

Sometimes I worry that I don't have a "signature" style. There are photographers I know that manage to shoot with consistent lighting or vibes throughout all of their shoots. I keep trying things that are a bit different because I get bored easily. Sure, most of my studio work has similar lighting and most of my outdoor has a similar feel but the two are quite different to each other.

Volume Seven of In My Bed is Leo. Leo is a Venezuelan born Australian who gave me the impression he was shy. As you’ll see in this download, that is certainly not the case. He has a smoulder going on in those dark brown eyes of his and you have to wonder what he’s thinking.
Leo is a fun guy. He was so comfortable and relaxed which made the shoot very easy and enjoyable. He and I are a...

Leonardo Corredor is a photographer I've only relatively recently discovered and to say his aesthetic is sublime would be an understatement. He captures people absolutely exquisitely and that includes himself. It would be a guess but I'd say he's probably in his late 20's and a stunning man in himself but there is...

On Saturday I reunited with Aaron, a model I'd worked with twice before. We didn't have a lot of time but we still managed to get content for two downloads shot as well as grabbing a few cheeky selfies along the way. The two downloads are already edited and in the queue, ready to share with the world.
Having a model I can have a laugh with is very important to me and Aaron is definitely t...

There is no one look that makes a model. Society tells us that you can only be sexy if you fit a very narrow window of body types. I'm a firm believer that there are sexy people of a very broad range of body shapes.
Andrew is a part-time model and actor who I was lucky enough to photograph in the first half of 2016. He's naturally really lean but oozes sensual charisma. Maybe for me his a...

When I wrote recently about blurring the lines between art and adult content, this shoot was the first shoot I did that went close. It was the first erotic duo shoot that I had done but while there are shots that contain arousal and oral contact for me it is an exploration of sensuality and playfulness.
These two guys are polyamorous lovers and are very enthusiastic and comfortable in the...

This evening I stumbled across this video on youtube showing the process of legendary photographer Albert Watson on a shoot with a professional dancer. The video is clearly about showcasing the ProFoto lights that get a lot of airtime but whether it's a promotional video or not is irrelevant.

Whenever I do an "Ask me a question" on Instagram stories I have to brace myself because I never know what I'm going to be asked. It was a given that someone would ask for frontal images of my models but that will never happen on my Instagram. I'm not going to get myself banned for someone's gratification.
An unexpected question though which has cropped up a few times is whether or not I'...

Back in 2009 I received an email through my (now-defunct) blog from a reader also in Sydney. He and his partner were keen to put themselves forward to model for me so I went round to their place one day to chat to them and we decided on a wrestling theme to start with. The location proved to be the sticking point on this shoot.
We had decided to try and do the shoot down in the sand dunes...

This is Leo. We did a shoot for the In My Bed series on the weekend and Leo was great fun to work with. When we were chatting about the shoot, he gave off a slightly shy vibe but in person he wasn't shy at all. This download will be out in a few weeks and you will see that he isn't shy at all and nor does he have anything to be shy about.
Leo has a cheeky smile and soulful eyes that have ...

I have often said I don't think I want to chase photography as a full time career and recently I've been reminded why. Photography is a real passion for mine but since starting to sell downloads and making a little bit of an income from it, at times I have found myself shooting things when I haven't really felt it.
I recently photographed a guy that was very, very keen. He'd found me on I...

I had photographed Ben and his husband Stephane together, and I had photographed Stephane for another project but I hadn’t done a shoot with only Ben. We had talked about it but couldn’t make our initial concept happen. So one slightly gloomy morning we went down to the nude beach and Ben spent quite a bit of time upside down.
Ben is an ex-gymnast, singer, actor and Burlesque performe...

A couple of weeks ago I shared a time-lapse video of the shoot I did on my Tribe series. Tonight I'm sharing another one of Matt. This is from a slightly different angle but it's a similar setup. In a rare move for me, I photographed Matt against a white backdrop. A lot of tribal imagery is dark and menacing but in this shoot I wanted it to feel light and airy.
As you can see for so...

It is something that frustrates me about myself that I don't often test out the more elaborate concepts I have for photo shoots. This shoot with my model Ben was one of those instances where I should have had contingencies in place but there weren't really any options.

You can drastically alter the mood of a photo with a bit of colour tweaking and this shoot with Sam was a great example of that. OK so it's more than just a tweak of the colour. We shot this at the very tail end of Autumn on a cold, windy morning. We had discussed the shoot looking really bleak and menacing. The clouds and the choppy water played along but the early morning light was actually b...

Yesterday I went out looking for new photo shoot locations. It wasn't a successful trip but I also gave my new vlogging camera a test run. I need to practice and try out some different settings. The Australian coastline is so vast and spectacular, so while I may not have found a location this time, there are definitely options out there.
