Flinders Ranges 2
See previous posts from here by using the tag 'flinders ranges'. Another set coming from the Flinders soon.We worked this spot from all angles, basically with me in the centre and Aurora posing around me 360 degrees to get ALL of the light motifs that existed there, and they were all good 😍Z6, 50mm f1.8 and 16-35mm f4 - and anycamera could have taken the same pictures.

A cup of tea and a lie down
Shot on the Pentax 67, home processed and scanned.
Titillandus
I’ve stayed in some out there places but this place in London was, well, really amazing. We stayed a couple of nights but only slept for one of them. Moved on to a farmhouse in Dartford after that for a night and didn’t sleep there either. Bad. Then, I flew back to Poland for work.At the time of shooting I was transfixed by the light shining through and on the fine crystal wear in the apartment. Truly lucky we didn't break it.
An afternoon with Minh Ly
Minh-Ly came up the mountains for a catch-up and shoot so we went to one of my favourite locations one afternoon. I shot the whole thing with my two Pentax 67s, one loaded with colour and the other with B&W.Minh-Ly surprised me with her presence in front of the camera, her look was captivating and posing very developed. She’s a great and very cool person too. We’d first met one night at a friend’s place in Amsterdam in 2018 where there were four of us shooting and modelling - we each took a turn at doing both things - some BTS is around s...
A floor lamp and a nude girl
With this Patreon account I'm trying to satisfy a range of viewers, although I'm aware most prefer sexualised nudes, so I post sexualised nudes as I have plenty in my archive. But my archive contains a lot of other stuff, vastly different to this. The camera is life for me, I see through it at life, and life is big and vast and varied.For those who may be interested, this set was shot with a simple floor standing lamp and nothing else.
Fashion couple
My "photographic network" is all about sexualised nudity and that's fine, except for the fact that my work with a camera isn't about that. It might involvesexualised nudity, but that's not what I go looking for when I hold a camera to my eye. I'd like to think that viewers of my work can see that, but that seems to be a fantasy.Models: Seaton and Andreahttps://www.modelmayhem.com/andifferentnamehttps://www.modelmayhem.com/4679672
Aurora & Iga
So who could have predicted our crazy Polish friend Iga would have been staying here in Kuranda within 5 minutes of where we are. This is weird. There's not many people living in Kuranda and it's quite a remote town in far north Queensland tropics.Anyway, we had a crazy day yesterday and shot lots of images.

There's a set of these for sale without the hand. Enquire within.
Ella & Jess (Set 2)
Part 1 is here.Some digitals in the mix this time. This shoot was a last minute thing, these two were leaving town the same day and contacted me the night before, lucky I was free the next day!

Chaos and the creative process
I read this recently about the creative process of great music. It’s the creative process behind any great art form when the creator has reached a level where their technical proficiency with their chosen craft is such that it disappears from the creative process altogether. This is very true for photography.“The brilliance of music is that it’s a living, breathing beast. One that thrives on chaos and becomes truly transcendent when its creators hurl themselves into the fire, emerging with something untamed and real. It’s not just about...

Shot at the same time as the last post.

There's a set of images from this shoot here, but I realised I'm yet to post the full set to Patreon. Coming up soon.She's had a hard day at work, we see her in the lift, getting out and walking into her apartment. She opens a bottle of champagne and starts to relax...

This set was originally B&W like most of my stuff but I know that Patreon patrons like colour best.
