This was in Antwerp a couple of weeks ago with the lovely Alena.

Relevant to this post is this from a previous post:

"It was Alena's idea to put the shoe in her mouth. Relevant to what I'm saying about the...

LAUNDRY DAY - FRANCESCA GRISENTI - AND SHOOTING NUTTY PEOPLE

Shooting models doesn't have to mean taking pictures of them in one way only. 

I found over the years that I've tended to gravitate toward people who are a bit 'different' 🤪. This happens when you get well established in an area and people want to ...

A WALK IN THE HEATH WITH SYLPH [SET 2 of 2]

A WALK IN THE HEATH WITH SYLPH [SET 1 of 2]

Finally this set is edited.  It took some time because there was a shitload of dust on these scans! Much of it is colour neg film converted to B&W which is something I do when I have a batch of C41 chemicals that need using up. With the exception of the last two, all were shot with the P...

MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP - MADEIRA [SET 1 of 2]

You know the song right?

This spot was way up in the mountains of Madeira. We drove around the northern coastline from our BNB near Sao Vicente and then uphill for ages into the mountains and the end of the road. Then it's a short hike to this place where we shot s...

DOMINI & AURORA - NAXOS [SET 1 of 2]

These were shot exactly a year ago in Naxos. It was late afternoon sun streaming directly into the front of our villa, located up in the hills outside Chora. It was also very windy which made getting the hair in the right position, for both girls, pretty tricky. Most of these were shot with a 16-...

MY WAY

This fully nude and freeform set was shot in the Netherlands. This is the full set of images - shot on the Z6 with a 50mm f1.8, no filters, not even a lens cap 🤪 (I've never had one for that lens and it's about 5 years old now). Edited in PS using a pre made filter I made for Camera Raw which ...

WHAT DO I DO? HOW AND WHY?

I wrote the draft to this post some time ago after being asked a number of times to explain various aspects of what I do, and how. I can only state what I do, what you do is really for you to DISCOVER. My process and techniques have evolved through spontaneous and uninhibited experimentation, if ...

MEL - SYDNEY - ANALOG

Shot in my fave spot at Cape Banks and all on film with the Pentax 67 and a Nikon F80 (for $80). Fuck expensive cameras. Most of these images haven't been released before.

The 35mm were shot with a 70-200mm f2.8, the rest are the Pentax 67. MF shots scanned with an Epson V800, 35mm with a N...

LUCY IN THE MOUNTAINS

These are the digital shots from this shoot. There are some excellent MF film scans coming also. These were rather more processed than I would normally do because the digital images were bound for Lucy's Patreon account. This was common at the time, many Australian models would a...

ALENA & AURORA - ANTWERP

I took these last week in Antwerp through the glass of our flat.  Alena came over one afternoon and I had a nice shoot with her solo, lingerie, on the balcony, standing on the mantlepiece 🥵🤣 and more (those coming soon). Aurora also shot her when she got home. The dinner we had that ni...

KITCHENS ARE A COOL PLACE FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES [SET 1 of 2]

We started off with th...

EVA - NEW IMAGES PREVIOUSLY UNPROCESSED

These are some analog images I found on one of my Australian hard drives that I luckily had shipped to Europe. They had actually been scanned but just into raw format so they needed conversion from neg to pos and then a bit of editing. 

They were shot in December-January 2019 when Eva ...

Anoush

One of my little portrait clips. The only difference between the way I shoot for video like this and a set of stills is, well, nothing.

It was shot in my fave location in Sydney, near Cape Banks. A wonderful wild environment of wind, salt spray, huge cliffs and wide rock platforms where the...

SLINTH [PART 1 of 3]

Cropping and composition

I really like this set and this kind of shooting. No not because it’s explicit or sexy, although of course I do enjoy that aspect (I’m a human and a man), but crops are one of my favourite things to shoot.

I love the process of fr...

SHEER CROPPED EXPOSÉ

So Aurora created this sheer wrap thing which I thought was amazing. I liked the way it revealed various parts so it seemed obvious to shoot it. I chose the trusty Fluro makeup lamp for lighting to give a high-key contemporary look. It worked well even though there was some light fall off at the ...
