Fashion nude

The fashion nude genre, may be my favourite. Shot last week at the start of an all nighter, about 8pm. Being in Poland seems to invoke this kind of vibe somehow.

Erotic? Sensual? Emotive? Fucked if I really know. It's just spontaneous shooting with some kind of invisible 'knowing' and collaboration.

There was no t...

Olga and Aurora - Xabia

Olga and Aurora shot at our photo event in Spain last month.

Spontaneous combustion

Is what happens sometimes. We found new light in our living room 😂 Aurora's modelling was on fire so I had to keep up. Don't ever believe you know all the light in a room, or apartment - it keeps amazing me how after 5 years or more, I still uncover new spots of light or new angles.

Many images from this session and ...

Image of the day: Looking up

My apologies for the lack of updates lately but I've been working on some new things. Plenty of RAW files and film to scan and edit, all takes time.

The roaming eye

Shot in the same small room as this set but without any particular artistic intent 😂

Road trip Antwerp, Brugge, Netherlands - October '23

These, except for the first one, were shot in an Antwerp BNB we stayed in while on a road tour to Belgium, Netherlands and stopping in at Berlin on the way home. The first one was at a stop by the side of the road in Germany.

Analog soul

Yesterday I was tinkering with one my broken Pentax 67's and I think I fixed it. These are all mechanical cameras fortunately. Still need to run a test roll through it.

I feel naked without that camera. The other one is in a camera store in NYC and was too expensive to repair so I "gave" it to them to sell - the sale wi...

Impervious

Ana on the Spanish coast at the @poetic.events photo retreat.

Sweet Emotion - video

A little emotion-packed compilation of images to the tune of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.

Video is here.

El & Aurora - Berlin

Shot in Berlin on a Fuji XT3 with a normal lens. Maybe I posted some shots of this duo before? Anyway, I wanted to re-edit them. I also shot a trio that day including Sara Scarlett. As I’ve said before, I love shooting duos, it’s one of the more challenging things to do as a photographer - the trio we did that day even mo...

Ana at La Caleta de dins

One of my favourite types of photography is shooting out in the open. The windswept open coast is the best and this setting, with the imposing Montgo massif behind Ana plus the broken shoreline was perfect.

We shot quite a few from the opp...

Back in Poland

The first set we shot after arriving back in Poland, taking advantage of the amazing light at sunset in our bedroom.

I finally have a bit of time to catch up on editing now that I'm back here before we take off again.

After the rains (BTS)

A little BTS video from Mosman Gorge in far north Queensland, Australia. The related image post is here.

Olga and Aurora by the pool (preview)

A sensual nude series shot in Xabia by the pool - coming soon.

Denia nudes

Just before we checked out at Denia the other day we shot this set. Sometimes it works well to shoot fast and move quickly.

Xabia Photo Retreat Event

A few quick preview BTS from our event in Spain. We're on day 3 now, the final day. Everything has been perfect, great people, great images, amazing location at the villa below the Montgo Massif and also on some hidden beaches at Xabia.

Slinth (Pt. 2)

Part 1 here.

Explicit images are censored according to Patreon's policy.

Slinth (Pt. 1)

Shot during a trip to the Netherlands and Belgium in November last year. This set was very spontaneous and free flowing. I was looking for angles and a vibe that was ‘dark erotic’ or whatever that meant at the time. No holds barred, this is a large set of images many of which are explicit yet I think still remaining somew...

Slinth (Pt.1) - preview

Coming tomorrow morning (CEST) 11/6/2024. 16 images in this first set.

Hana and Aurora - re-edits

Some folks may have seen these before but I re-edited them anyway and I like these newer edits.

They were shot at a local garden studio here in Poznan. Yes, we arrived back in Poznan today.

Setting sun

Shot at f1.8, desperately trying to squeeze some bokeh out of a shitty digital lens. The light was special, the sun setting behind a high haze of thin cloud casting very subtle shadows.

More images here.

Intent

Analog duo

Shot by Piotrek. He came around to shoot Aurora but then asked if we could model together. I saw his camera, so I said "of course!". Check out his work, jus...

Lost in translation

Low fidelity, the way to serve stuff.

Lana and Jordan, they're not models, although I think Lana went to LA to become one.

Wilderness

Our last night in the Blue Mountains, where we stayed for a month. This place, the Grose Wilderness, and other wilderness areas, are my main connection with Australia and it’s the thing I’ll miss the most.

It was kind of sad as we stood there in silence, the sun setting behind the western edge of the Blue Mountains,...

Slinker

Nothing like Polish winter light through a fishnet body suit 🥵

Maldives

Shot on the Pentax 67 on Tri-X, processed in Warszawa at Relax Film Lab. I hadn't edited these images and they were shot in May 2021! Typical model photos but the film seems to add something else at least.
