Emma - Cape Banks
A day in the wind with Emma.
Home on the range
These were shot just up the road from my place in the Blue Mountains at a favourite spot. All except the last one shot with a D800 and 70-200mm f2.8.
Berlin Lick
One long night in Berlin.
Zoe & Aurora
Great day today in the tropics at a local streamwith Zoeand Aurora until I got stung by a gympie-gympieplant and spent the rest of the day in the emergency ward at Cairns Hospital 🥵
Hallway Jive - video preview
Short here.Enquiries within for the full version.
Adorned - BTS video
A little compilation video showing some collaboration and test shots with Anne Duffyand Burton Yuen. Test shots on a D800 and final on 4x5. This was one of the set-ups for a couple of the Adornedimages shown above.The video is here.
Romi in the rubbish dump (Pt. 2)
Taken in 2016. More coming later.Pentax 67Kodak TRI-XHome processed (ID-11) and scanned (Nikon ED8000).
Sydney All Nighter
From a couple of nights ago. Shot out on the balcony when all the surrounding buildings were asleep - but we didn't even think that if anyone had been awake in any of the other apartments they would have had full view of what we were doing. Full set coming soon once they're edited.
Romi in the rubbish dump (Pt. 1)
I shot in this location a number of times, once with Romi and once with an Italian model. Neither of them were bothered by shooting in such a place either! More images coming.
Aurora & Andrea
One of the most uncomfortable places for the models but that's where the best light was, so.
The shipwrecked sailor
From a whole day shoot on Friday at Cape Banks in Sydney with Aurora, Andreaand Seaton. One of the best days out I've had - 4 creatives and all taking turns in front and behind the lens.Many, many images coming from this day. Combinations of solo, due, trio, nude, portraits and fashion.
Bikini not bikini
Sylph and I drove from Melbourne one day along the Great Ocean Road and found a cool spot here. We shot for 4 hours or more until it was dark. A range of cameras and looks. These are just a few of the images.
Monika - fashion portraits
Monika’sa local Poznan fashion model and was perfect for the fashion portraits I wanted to do on analog. I love how the colour has come out, on both the 35mm and the 120. It’s a good example of the differences between 120 and 35mm in terms of grain, colour skew and clarity. I like both, for each of their qualities.
Dusk at the Leopold (Pt. 2)
Part 1 here.
Dusk at the Leopold (Pt. 1)
This set of images was shot in an amazing hotel in Antwerp with Aurora and Manya. Manya’s Instagram seems to have disappeared, maybe she’s having a break. Initially I didn’t think these two would work photographically together but they proved me wrong. They had a really cool vibe between them which shows.Somehow, for some of these images, my ISO was set at 52,000! I never touch the ISO durin...
Lucy in the loft (Pt 1)
Lucy letting it loose. Such great expression, unhindered. Models who can be free like this are precious. As a photographer, it's necessary to be thinking "give me something" but it's also necessary to create a vibe where they cangive you something. Doesn't matter if it's a subtle smerk, facial expression or full on body movement, it's all the same. Nothing a model gives...

Hallway Jive [Part 3]
I think I need another all nighter.Didn't realise I hadn't posted this part 3, the other 2 parts can be seen by just clicking the tag "hallway". These were taken during a particularly turbulent time in Poland. Everything, was on the edge, everything. There was a video made too.
Inner workings
Look, I'm terribly sorry there's no nudity in this set.
Australian landscape nudes
Shot last December in Borombola NSW.
White New York suit
One of the sets that were part of the 11 hour shoot a couple of months ago.
Absence
One particular dimension of living in Poland. The video has a lot of meaning for both Aurora and I, with some deep emotional triggers but what interests me is what anyone else would feel or think when they watched it. Let me know in the comments if you like.My YouTube channelhas been restored after being taken down a long time ago by the censorship lords. Check it out.
