A few more from this tongue-in-cheek shoot last week. This set, when completed, will only be available here on my Patreon, in my store or on Aurora's Only Fans page. Having trouble at the moment finding time to edit as I'm busy with work but I'm slowly getti...

Butter Wouldn't Melt
“The original expression was 'Butter Wouldn't Melt in his/her mouth. What this means is when you find someone, a child or animal who is quite obviously responsible for some misdemeanour and they deny it and look at you with an expression of angelic innocence and, in spite of all the evidence continue to lie, that’s when you say that 'Butter Wouldn't Melt'.”
Tongue in cheek or not, b...

Post title: An update on sales tax
Hi everyone,
I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.

2020-05-28 21:17:13 +0000 UTC View PostA Book?
I've had some enquiries about doing a book. A couple of people have said they'd buy one if I made one - but hang on, two people buying a book wouldn't even cover the cost of designing the cover of the book. Books are special for sure, but I'm rather sick of supplying a never ending stream of free high quality work into a society of consuming scrollers and watchers. Would you buy it?...

Around the House - On Film
These were shot on 35mm and 120 film around the house during May and also during a daytrip out to Weilkopolski National Park. I included a shot of how I scan my film - very high tech - hold film up to the window light and take a photo of it with my digital camera :)
2020-05-25 14:28:40 +0000 UTC View PostQuiet Isolation Times - Poetic Minx
This is a very special set for me. I realise that work such as this can't be created with any other person. This alone gives the images a uniqueness and also represents an artistic level that can only be reached with a true muse. I hope you see the uniqueness like I do.
Tech: Z6, ISO 1250 - 4000, 16-35mm F4 Nikon zoom, manual exposures. Editing was minimal as I wanted to ...

I love images like this because they're not model-like, they have a homely feel and I could not shoot like this with anyone else - this is their art. I hope viewers can see that this makes them unique - the fact I could not create them with anyone else I mean.
Full set coming soon

We did a shoot one day and the images were OK but I realised I needed a different exposure and Aurora had different ideas for posing too, so we did this second shoot the following day to perfect it.

VANILLA LIFE (Issue 2)
Vanilla Life was a magazine containing some of my best work at the time. I prepared the images, designed and laid out the mag myself then had it printed by MagCloud. There were two issues published - available both as high quality print magazines and also as digital e-Mags. It was a huge investment of time and money to make these mags. Sales were poor to say the least, but it was a personal pas...

Big set coming tomorrow - 20 - 25 nude images shot in our apartment.
These were shot back in January in beautifully soft reflected winter light. I remember them being particularly easy to shoot, like most art nude images are. Merely construct a composition and place model in the right spot and let her do her thing. Snap snap.

AURORA: "For me, this is a very real photo representing the times when I used to give in to masturbation as a medicine to my problems."
MIKE: We talked about this image for quite some time. For me as a photographer: I'm always interested in ALL aspects of humanity. For me as Aurora's partner: this creates confusion. I don't want to project her into the pu...
