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 ...

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 grea...

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.

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 involve sexualised 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. 2025-02-12 04:26:28 +0000 UTC View Post

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.

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 brillian...

Lovely shoot that worked so well with Ella Muse and Jess.

Shot with the Pentax.

Image of the day: Ivy in "One Long Day'"

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 an...

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