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
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...

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. 2023-10-05 08:47:24 +0000 UTC View Post
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 t...

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 fol...

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.
