Brenton Parry

I owe it all to Dad.

This week has been a bumpy week for me. Tomorrow morning my Dad is having some major surgery and we are all a little anxious. Statistically we know he will be fine and it will improve his health enormously but it's a surgery not to take lightly.

This post is in honour of him. My father is the person that started my interest in photography, back when I was a teenager and he gifted me a sec...

Axle - Download

Sometimes you find yourself a model who just LOVES to show off. That’s Axle. The excitement was obvious as soon as he stripped off. The morning may have been a little cool but it didn’t slow Axle down.

This is the shoot where this video was filmed. I was supposed to do an underwater shoo...

The story behind Willi...

Continuing to tell the story behind some shoots in the archives that haven't become downloads, this is the story behind my shoot with Willi.

I can't remember how Willi and I started chatting but it might have been through my now-dead blog. Willi is a lovely guy who is based in San Francisco and I think messaged me telling me he was coming to town and was interested in doing a shoot. I had...

February wallpapers!

How on earth did we get to February already? The world is going mad, so let's make it a bit more enjoyable with not one, but TWO wallpaper images this month. I've been using my photography on my phone wallpaper for a while now and sure, it's nearly got me in trouble and it's had some attention but why not?

This month I'm sharing a desktop wallpaper and a phone wallpaper image with you. Bo...

What do you want to see?

In the 21 years I've been photographing the male figure I have tried a lot of things. Sometimes more successfully than others. There has been clay, powder, fabric, underwater, above water, lots of shoots in nature, a bit of erotic experimentation, and a bunch of things.

I'm not sure how my photography is perceived and what people would say is a "typical' Brenton Parry shoot but I'm curiou...

Studio shoot with Andrew

Continuing my recent trend of telling stories about shoots that didn't make it to downloads, I thought I'd see what else I could talk about and I stumbled across this shoot of a Melbourne boy called Andrew.

Andrew had come up from Melbourne and we had planned a shoot. I was at the time and am still now, very grateful that people are keen to take time out of their time off to shoot with me...

Murphy's law...

This weekend was a long weekend in Australia and as such there are a bunch of dance parties on and it's perfectly normal for people to make the most of the extra day and travel interstate. Axle was one of those lovely gents coming to Sydney to make the most of it. We had been speaking for several months about collaborating on an underwater shoot.

I haven't used my underwater setup for ov...

Fed at home - Download

“At Home” is the evolution of my previous “In My Bed” series. Instead of photographing models in my bed, now I capture them in their own space, helping them relax as well as to showcase more of who they are.

This is now my third shoot with Federico and his most revealing shoot with me yet. In my previous collaborations with Fed he's stayed very modest but since that last shoo...

The story behind the male dancers

One of my earliest models was a great guy called Andy. I'd met him at the nude beach and somehow had the courage to ask him to model for me back in 2005. He was a little pocket rocket with a fantastic body and great bubble booty as you can see. He was doing some part time work dancing for hens nights and in male reviews where the garments come off, if you know what I mean. I'm being careful wit...

Straight to the wish list

Hollywood sex symbol Zac Efron is undoubtedly very sexy and we have all known that for a long time, whether it was in his earlier twink days or his current beefy days. The trouble is, his younger brother Dylan is ramping up his public persona and on track to steal the sexiest Efron trophy.

I first noticed Dylan a couple of years ago when he popped up on 2025-01-21 08:49:26 +0000 UTC View Post

It's finally happened

Finally, I can bring you the news that has been a long time coming. My many-time collaborator Charlie has finally launched his Only Fans page that has been planned for months. I don't know all the details but he has said he's posting a couple of times per week featuring his extensive photography modelling catalogue as well as some candid stuff and explicit content.

I don't have an O.F. ac...

Another story...

I thought it might be suitable to tell the story that follows on from Mitch's shoot last week.

The day Mitch and his girlfriend came over to talk about doing the shoot I spoke about last week, they brought a mate of theirs. This friend was a VERY sexy, very beefy mate. Let's call him Jack. It's not his real name but for reasons I'll explain, I can't use his real name. It was not long afte...

Stephane 2 - Download

For the second half of our time in the studio, we switched up the backdrop and draped Stephane in a woollen blanket. With his hairy chest and the blanket he looks like the kind of man you’d love to snuggle up to.

This whole day of shooting, five different download, was a little stressful and not quite as finessed as I would have liked but it was the first day of using the new camera so ...

The story of the lost prince

After sharing the wallpaper image on Tuesday I thought I'd share the story behind the shoot.

In October of 2014 I had photographed a guy called Greg and as usual I had started following him on Instagram. A few months later he posted a photo on his page with some mates and one of them was the lovely Mitch so I asked Greg about him, added Mitch on instagram and sent him a message to see if ...

The first wallpaper of 2025

For the first wallpaper image of 2025 I'm actually going all the way back to 2016 when I photographed the sexy straight red-head, Mitch. It was a fun shoot that I might tell the story of soon. Sadly I wasn't doing downloads at the time so I didn't get enough content to go back and put one together. We live and learn.

In the mean time enjoy the beefy goodness that is Mitch.

Trying to decide

I'm a long way off committing to a date and even further away from actually opening an exhibition but it plays on my mind trying to work out where I want to go with it.

Right now I have three main contenders as vague ideas. First up is all water-based images. I have a natural attraction to water. It's calming and comfortable but powerful and never to be taken for granted and that could be...

Thank you!

That is a wrap for 2024. With just under 16 hours left before we start 2025 here in Sydney I wanted to say a big thank you once again for all the support here on this page.

It was a big year for me with work and at times I struggled maintaining the pace with photoshoots but I'm very glad I did because it is what makes me really happy. Let's break down a few stats of the releases this year...

Island Boy 2 - Download

My first shoot with Sam took about 18 months for us to organise. This one took less than 18 hours from chatting to complete. Sam has really embraced the freedom of being in front of the camera. The morning light was beautiful and the conditions were perfect for it to highlight his amazing golden skin and sculpted body.

Sam was much less modest this time around and had a lot of laughs expl...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that 2024 is wrapping up nicely for you all and for those that can spend quality time with family over the holidays that is what you've done. For those that can't, I hope you've had a wonderful break.

Every year when I go to post about Christmas I realise just how awkward and cheesy most "sexy Santa" photos are. This is the reason I don't really do the "th...

Bringing back memories

DNA Magazine was a bright and shiny new gay publication right around the time I came out and through that magazine I discovered some models and photographers that I still remember really fondly.

One of those photographers was Hudson Wright and his amazing photos of Joshua Saunders and Brett Gibbs. The...

Lean in to cliches

There are a HEAP of photographic cliches out there. Some of which are almost inevitable to touch on. Nude figures on rocks etc are almost a rite of passage for photographers, especially when you might not have access to a studio or know what to do in one.

I think it could be really fun to look at all the cliches and work out a way to reinterpret them or exaggerate them somehow but it woul...

Let's go see...

Back in 2007 I really wasn't shooting very often but every now and then I'd meet someone and work up the courage to ask them to model for me. Pete was one of those guys. I have no idea how we met but since my file has his screen name on it rather than his last name, it seems likely it was on Gaydar or something. Anyone remember gaydar?

This location is one that I'm going to go and check o...

Location, location

After photographing guys for so long and a large portion of my shoots happening outdoors, I have photographed in the same locations many many times over. There are naturally occuring variations depending on the weather and tides and what part of the season it is but I would love to find some more locations.

That does likely mean I'm going to have to venture further afield do to the shoots...

Benji At Home - Download

“At Home” is the evolution of my previous “In My Bed” series. Instead of photographing models in my bed, now I capture them in their own space, helping them relax as well as to showcase more of who they are.

The latest to volunteer for this intimate look at themselves is Benji. He doesn’t actually have any social accounts yet but he felt like he might want to do a shoot.

It's happening

Looking down the barrel of losing my job and having to do the job hunt for a new one got me all motivated to book flights to Europe next year. I was already in chats with a couple of friends who want to come to Italy with me so we got organised and my flights are booked.

For the second half of August 2025 we will be in Italy and for the first half of September I will be in France, at this...

The story of Rhett in my bed

There have been times when I've been accused of being part of the problem of body image etc. I long ago gave up any notion of trying to please everyone. Most of my models are not professional models and a decent percentage have never done a professional shoot, especially nude and in my view while most of them are quite athletic and fit, they do represent regular guys, albeit beautiful guys.

Anyone interested?

I am thinking it might be fun to release a new image as a limited edition print but thought I'd see if anyone would be interested first.

Money is tight for a lot of people I know, so I don't want to do this if no one can afford it, but this image makes me very happy so it seemed like a good idea to offer it up.

Throw a comment on this post if you'd be interested in a print of the go...

December wallpaper download

Well, we've nearly made it to the end of what has been a very busy and kinda stressful year and given it's the first tuesday of the month, I'm sharing the final wallpaper image of 2024.

A few weeks ago I got to work with the fantastic Sam again and as I have promised previously I'm trying to make these wallpaper images shots that you haven't received in a download yet. Sam was much less s...

Robbie - Download

There are a few moments in life where you wonder if it’s real. When Robbie Manson, Olympic rower for New Zealand reached out and said he wanted to work with me when he was in town, I didn’t believe it.  After nearly a year and the Paris Olympics, Robbie arrived in Sydney.

It was such a privilege and a joy to work with Robbie. Beautiful, down to earth and happy to be creative, we ...

So much to come

It feels like only a few weeks ago that I was worried about keeping up the pace with shoots to release but it feels like I've been nice and prolific getting shoots done since then. There are 8 downloads ready to release and one more that is shot and waiting to be edited, with more shoots planned.

As you can see there are a couple more shoots of Axle to come, as well as the absolutely divi...
