With the right model and a little touch of creativity, a small impromptu home studio space can bring out something that shines. In this case, literally. Against a background of silver metallic cardboard, this Brazilian beauty, with his smooth skin and beautiful dark eyes, looked warm and sensual.
I'd love to photograph ...

Watching videos like the one above makes me long for photographic adventures out in the wilds of nature. Just as photographing men in water and on the beach is a favourite of mine, the idea of photographing someone in the rain or in this case the snow is very appealing.
Sadly, rain and snow aren't amazing for camera equ...

Obviously being a gay man a lot of my friends are also gay men. Given the content of my photography most of my following is also gay men. It stands to reason that the vast majority of the men that I have photographed are gay.
There have been some straight men who have modelled for me and done a beautiful job, all of the...

Masculinity. It’s a word that is increasingly fraught with danger. Old notions of masculinity have become increasingly outdated and troublesome when projected on to others. For those that fit traditional looking stereotypes of masculinity they can be fetishised or ridiculed.
Then there are guys like Sean. A new era of...

After recently teasing about Dave making his return in front of my camera, someone asked about this shoot. It was our first proper collaboration together after I had photographed him for a couple of community/sports group things in the years prior.
Dave isn't really a morning person so I promised him a large coffee and ...

The “In My Bed” series of shoots is a response to COVID-19 and the onset of cold weather here in Sydney, wiping out most photography opportunities. In this series I am shooting different guys in my bed, on white sheets. The model can set the tone and the limits. Let’s see where this goes.

Back in November 2020 I had the pleasure of photographing Duncan. He had recently done his first session posing for a Sydney life drawing group and really enjoyed it. So what does a man do when he decides that posing nude is something he likes? He does it for a photographer as well.
Early one morning we met at a local S...

A year ago almost to the day I happened to be at my parents place when a Wollongong photographer dropped off a large framed print of his work that they had purchased. He happily stood around chatting for about half an hour when there was absolutely no obligation to do so.

Four years after his first shoot with me, Ricardo has lost his inhibitions, kept his cheeky playful side and all of his sex appeal.
This time around he was happy to go full frontal without a care in the world. Ricardo's boyfriend came along on the shoot and gave him some encouragement. Not that he needed it at all. He s...

The day before I had a studio booked, one of my models had to cancel so I was scrambling to find someone. That’s when John started following me on twitter at the suggestion of a friend. With a youthful innocent face, a smooth body and other very notable assets, I sent him a message asking him to model. Thankfully he said ye...

Video is a world that I have been wanting to explore more of over the past few years. The behind the scenes videos of my shoots get a good response, with "Argentinian Beef" having over 1 million views now.
But I really want to explore stand alone videos. Almost like a short 3-5 minute video portrait of the subject. Ther...

Many times over the 18 years that I've been doing photo shoots of male nudes, it has been the model's first time in front of the camera. I take it as a compliment that many of them have come back again and gone on to model for other photographers. Fingers crossed that means they enjoyed the experience.
There are a lot o...

As a child I spent all summer, every summer in and around water. Swimming laps in the pool and weekends in the surf. It’s always felt very natural for me to photograph men by the water or in the water.
Underwater photography has held a fascination for many years and recently I made the investment in an underwater hous...

Andreas Bitesnich has been an inspiration for a very long time. He's one of those photographers that you let slip from your mind every now and then and then you rediscover his work and remind yourself why you love him.
His figures are beautifully lit, creatively photographed and elegantly posed. There is always a tensio...

This is another shoot from the archives. In 2015 while on a European adventure, I caught up with Instagram friend Mikael in Denmark. As well as showing me around Copenhagen we went on a bit of an adventure out of the city to this beautiful park to do a photo shoot.
There were a few times Mikael had to scramble to cover ...

One thing I've learnt in the 18 years that I've now been photographing male nudes, is that you can never assume that just because someone looks a certain way that they feel good about themselves or even sees themselves the way the rest of us do.
As we all know my models are beautiful. Very very few of them have ever don...

When Corey and I started shooting this download a couple of weeks ago it struck me that he smiled so much. When people are posing for nude photos and are trying to be sexy, that rarely seems to include smiling which I think is a shame. Obviously nerves come into play with that as well and smiling naturally when you are in fro...
