As I get older I am realising that networking is very much a crucial part of life. A photography duo here in Sydney came in to my exhibition and we were talking about models etc and they had been lucky enough to work with Mr Bradford when he was here in Sydney.
It turns out that one of ...

David is a model who was recommended to me by another photographer and if you’re wondering why this booklet is called Dodgy Pirate it’s because that is what David’s twitter and instagram name is.
If you go and look at his twitter you’ll know why I was keen to work with him and how I knew we’d get sexy images completely lacking in inhibition.

This download was photographed just over five years ago. I have vague recollections that another model had had to cancel but I could be wrong. I'd met Clinton through a family friend a few years prior and done a shoot at one of Sydney's nude beaches back before I was releasing downloads.

Once again we find ourselves with another month gone and a new month beginning and that means it's time for another desktop wallpaper. This month I thought I'd share with you the very sexy Lincoln from our shoot back in May last year.
Lincoln loves being nude but needs to be anonymous but that's just fine when he looks this good from behind.

I'm notoriously bad at approaching people in the real world to ask them to do a photo shoot.
There is a guy here in Sydney who I had been following on Instagram for some time and he has recently dived into the adult "cinema" industry and in a short few months has developed quite a following. He's already been to the U.S. a couple of times to film with Sean Cody and a bunch of other ...

It's always sad when someone dies and when the world loses a great talent it's even more sad. The arts aren't always seen as important but a world without creativity is a world I don't really want to live in.

In 2020, like everyone my life was kinda locked down for some time. My boss at the time said we needed to do a trial of working from home which then very quickly became the real lockdown. I had started to release downloads of my shoots at a rate of one per week and needed to keep shooting even though Sydney was heading into winter so it was too cold to shoot outside and studios were closed.&nbs...

Everyone meet Ivan. He and I have been chatting for quite some time now on Instagram about collaborating and we nearly made it happen recently but his trip had to be cancelled.

Back in August 2018 I was away for a weekend with a bunch of nudist mates a couple of hours north of Sydney. I had been an online friend of Tom's for quite a while and we had met once or twice before but on this trip we had decided it was time for him to model for me.
He was a bit apprehensive and decided that a relatively anonymous approach was where he was comfortable for this shoot. La...

Dusting beautiful men in powder and then smearing them in oil is becoming a recurring theme for me and it seems to bring out something primal in them.
They feel sexy, they laugh, they really seem to enjoy it and it brings out some really good visuals. Jim really wanted to use purple and it is a colour that photographs well so of course I said yes. Over the course of the shoot we just kept...

My first exhibition was moody, black and white and in a studio. When I decided to do another exhibition I think I was feeling in a more optimistic mood. Where the first exhibition had dealt with my insecurities, this one intentionally felt like looking towards a brighter future.

In 2011 and 2013 I had my first two solo gallery exhibitions, Shrouded and Freedom. At one point I was thinking of making it a thing I did every couple of years but not long after Freedom, the gallery I had used closed. If you've ever looked for a gallery space before, it's tough and that one was great.
So for my 2015 exhibition I took a different approach and launched it all virtually. O...

There are times when I find myself thinking back to ideas I've had for a photo shoot that have never eventuated. Some of them were just too hard, too far away or just never happened. Some will remain in the too hard basket or discarded pile forever but there are some I'd love to try.
One such idea was to drive up north a couple of hours out of Sydney and take a model or two into the vast ...

There are times when it takes years from the first introduction to actually working with a model. This shoot took about 4 years I think and in that time Scott moved to Sydney from a couple of hours away and seriously sculpted his body. He’s gone from twink to muscle jock and boy did it look good on camera.
Sadly due to work contract restrictions we can't use the really full frontal imag...
