The wild story of beach love

This shoot ended up causing a LOT of drama and angst. None of it my doing, I must note.

It all started when Laria, who had posed for me before said he really wanted to do an erotic shoot with another man. The important aspect of that is to note that he was married to a woman at the time. He was in a process of exploring his sexuality a little and was adamant that it would be fine. So I pi...

I miss the "glory" days.

It wasn't all that long ago that the world seemed flooded with very homoerotic behind the scenes videos from calendar shoots for people like the French Rugby Team (aka Dieux Du Stade), the Warwick Rowers and more recently Greeks Come True. Sadly they all seem to have gone by the wayside. The Warwick Rowers are now called Barefoot Men or something but it's all a little different.

I just fo...

Cruising - Download

There are times when you are just in the mood to see what action you can find. Some easy transactional sex with anonymity and ease is all you are in the mood for. What do you do? You go walking naked in the bushes at your favourite cruising ground to see who you can find.

This shoot was a few months ago when "Hung Gay C*ck" was in town. At that time he hadn't shown his face in his posts. ...

Give the gift of a photo shoot.

A friend of mine had been saying for a long time that I should do commissioned shoots but whenever someone enquired about a shoot, I'd say the price and never hear from them again. Then a few weeks ago someone enquired about buying their boyfriend a shoot since he'd been working so hard in the gym. I told him the price and said I'd put some gift vouchers on my site for him. 

He bough...

Searching for Inspiration

In the aftermath of my MANYONE exhibition, I'm starting to find myself looking for my next challenge. My photography feels like it's branching off in two separate directions which may not be that apparent to the outside viewer but in my head I'm seeing myself still really enjoying photo...

The story behind Up Early

Russy is a personal trainer here in Sydney who I was introduced to by one of my other models.  When I was shown his instagram and saw his body, of course I wanted to work with him. On the day of the shoot, he walked out of his building and looked even more impressive in person.

He'd never done a nude shoot before and preferred, like a lot of new models, to stay a bit more modest abou...

What a gem

There is a danger when you work with someone who has a large following, especially in the adult space, and when it's been a fairly sudden rise to "fame". The danger is that they have bought into the following and think they are better than others. Thankfully Matthew was the exact opposite of that.

I picked Matt up at 7am on a Sunday morning and suggesting that usually gets a less than ama...

Happy 20th Anniversary

It does't actually feel real that my first ever shoot was with the lovely Erik, 20 years ago this week. When I think back to how clueless both of us actually were it was a miracle that we got any decent images at all. When I shared the images they got a great reaction and inspired me to keep going.

For the first few years of shooting there were only a handful of shoots each year. In fact ...

This should be fun

Tomorrow morning I am finally working with a model I've been talking to for a while. In between us starting to talk about a shoot and now though, he's really taken off in the Onlyfans and adult film world.

That is right. I'm working with Matt Ellis who I have met a couple of times at my gym. In person his body is exactly as hot as you'd expect from what you see online.

After buildin...

A change of pace

I'm old enough that when I was studying graphic design we learnt to do things by hand. There are a million techniques that I'm glad I learnt but have not been used since my course which I finished 30 years ago.

One of those techniques was life drawing. I'm not sure I've done any real drawing since I finished in 1993 but when a friend said he was doing an 8 week life drawing course I jumpe...

How do I decide?

Today I spent a few hours going through all of my archives to start putting together the 20th Anniversary download that I posted about a few weeks ago. Currently I have 238 images selected that I am happy with. There are a few shoots that didn't make the cut and won't be included but now I have to lay it all out and decide the order.

Do I put them in chronological order? Do i separate the...

The story of Blue Skies

Australia is a long way from a lot of the world, so quite often when I see someone on Instagram overseas I resign myself to the fact that it's unlikely our paths will cross. That's what I thought when I saw Kyle but then we ended up chatting. At the time he was working on Cruise ships as a performer and was going to be in Sydney for a day.

We made some plans for what we were go...

Well, that's disappointing

I haven't been shooting very much in the past few months after the exhibition and just getting to the end of the year a bit run down. I was very happy but run down.

On the weekend though I did a shoot that i had some expectations for. The model was visiting from out of town and had been wanting to do a shoot for some time. So it was very disappointing when he admitted that he'd been out a...

Michael - Download

Some days nature plays havoc with your plans and this shoot with Michael was one of them. We’d been trying to coordinate a shoot on one of his visits to town and this was the only day we could make it work. Even though I had some ideas for the shoot, we had to adapt to the new circumstances.

Michael’s insane body set against the beautiful patterned rocks worked perfectly and even thou...

Out of my comfort zone

In the past I have stepped in front of the camera for some photographers and artists that I know but it had been some time. As I get older and more critical of my aging body it's harder to take that leap. 

That was until just over a year ago when David Charles Collins, one of my mates and also one of my models (by another name) asked if I would be up for a shoot for him. I love his w...

So very tempted

This is something I've posted about before but the urge is getting stronger. I have a couple of cameras that I use but the main one is second hand and has never felt quite right. It has done everything I ask of it and I can't quite articulate what is wrong but it might be time to make some changes.

One change that I'm very seriously contemplating is a switch to a mirrorless camera. The tr...

The frustration

This morning one of my models messaged to say he's joined the military and on their demand, he's withdrawing any consent for his imagery to be used. Specifically any imagery that includes nudity. That essentially means any imagery we have created together.

That is incredibly frustrating for me. I've had to go through my website downloads and remove all his downloads and remove any posts f...

Will it work?

The series of downloads I've done called "In My Bed" has been very popular and for very good reason. I think being in a bed is obviously very familiar to everyone so models feel comfortable and with that comfort comes a lowering of inhibitions. There have been a few models who have surprised me with their openness in front of the camera in this setting.

Having moved house a couple of mont...

Time to get back in the studio

It's been over 6 months since I last stepped into a photography studio and I think that's just silly. By the end of 2023 I was pretty exhausted after the exhibition, moving house and a lot of pressure at work. Thankfully I had enough shoots in the bag ready to release but those are running out. 

I've done a few outdoor shoots with more in the calendar and in two weeks time I'm photog...

Manyone - Download

Finally, it's here. The exhibition was three months ago, after 12 months of dedicated work and I am very proud of the results. Now it's time to release the entire series in the form of a download. The series is still available to buy as limited edition prints if you click here.

The story of Black and Gold

I honestly can't remember how I met Ry but we have mutual friends and at some point we found ourselves organising a photo shoot. This is how we came up with Black and Gold 2024-01-13 02:42:00 +0000 UTC View Post

The confidence

When an image pops up on your twitter feed or somewhere else online it can trigger a memory of something or someone you had long forgotten.

The sexy gentleman above is Lars Stephan. Back in my blogging days I wrote about him because he was very well known for these nude self portraits and I always admired his self confidence as well as everything physical he has going on.

Part of me...

How to celebrate

February 16th marks the 20th anniversary of my first ever photoshoot of a male nude. The question is, how do I celebrate? There are a couple of options that I'm currently thinking of.

Firstly, running a kickstarter program to fund and gauge interest in a coffee table book with all the best images from the 20 years of shoots. I will have to do some research on printing options in India or ...

Before and After - Chris

This series was originally shot in December 2016 back before I was releasing downloads. When I did start releasing downloads to sell I went back through all my shoots to see if there was an opportunity to get a full download out of them. This one had great potential. It became the download called "2024-01-05 00:33:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Lockie - Wallpaper Download

To start the year of sexy, we are starting 2024 with the first desktop wallpaper image for you all to download. Pop it as your computer desktop image so while you are working you can have a cheeky, sexy distraction. I'm going to assume you are all using these on your personal devices and not your work computers. Let's be smart with our sexy.

Welcome to 2024. This shoot with Lockie will be...

Thank you for a great year!

It's nearly 9am here on the 31st December 2023. Tonight I'll be seeing in the new year with some great friends watching the famous Sydney fireworks from an incredible vantage point.

I wanted to take this moment to say thank you all for your incredible support over the year. A quick scroll through this page tells me I've released 34 downloads to you all over the course of this year. Some o...

Michael In My Bed - Download

Volume twenty-nine of In My Bed is Michael. We had done a shoot several months before but Michael was back in town and keen to do something a bit more cheeky and sexy. While the other shoot (which will be out soon) was moody, outdoors and windswept, this one shows Michael at his big grin best.

Michael's big, beautiful smile is as much a signature of his as his glasses and spectacular body...

Down the rabbit hole I go.

A friend of mine once commented that when I dive in to a YouTube channel or a theme, I dive deep. He is right. Today I found myself watching nude dance videos after seeing the trailer above a few weeks ago. Sadly I can't find the full documentary anywhere online that is available in Australia. We seem to miss out on a lot of stuff that is available everywhere else.

Merry Christmas!

I've got a lot to do today to get ready to spend time with my family for Christmas from this afternoon. It's Christmas Eve morning here and I haven't wrapped my gifts and I need to do some cooking to contribute my part to the festivities.

I hope everyone gets to spend the holidays with people they care about, whether it's friends, family or someone special. There are so many images of men...

The story behind Morning

There are shoots where it feels natural, easy and successful right from the start and there are a lot of the shoots that seem like they are doing well but you don't get too confident. Then there are others that feel like an absolute grind from the moment you start.

This shoot from 2018 was one of those. It was just hard work. Matt, the model was lovely but he was not a morning person so h...
