Since I’m in Sydney on a Sunday afternoon with no commitments I thought I’d pull out my camera gear and try some more self portraits. This time I wanted to do some standing shots, but that required a proper backdrop and most of all a remote flash. It’s remarkable the effects you can achieve with flash photography.
I hope you enjoy the photos…

Post covid I haven’t been travelling as much and Christmas especially. I find flying at Christmas uniquely unpleasant (as I’m sure many people do). This year however I decided to make the trip to see family in Victoria. I drove down from Sydney though to avoid the aforementioned air travel pain!
The drive there was uneventful (the best possible outcome when travelling the Hume Highway) and Christmas with family was fun.
I also had the pleasure of a booking in Melbourne before I headed home to Sydney.
Now one thing I had thought would be fun to see was The Museum Of Desire in Collingwood (which I talked about previously). It turned out to be a fun, lighthearted look at sex and sexuality and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an hour or two of quirky entertainment in inner Melbourne.
I rather liked the “interactive” nature of many of the exhibits – from a giant “couch thing” that told erotic stories, to the game that required you to match faces to genitals to cars and hand bags! Not to mention the phallic ring toss, and the butt-putt mini-golf…
There was also static art, film, and an interactive sound scape installation. It was fun and worth the investment of a little time.
So thank you Museum of Desire, you provided a fun and lighthearted diversion on a muggy Melbourne afternoon!

I just wanted to say merry Christmas and thank you to everyone. To my clients this year, thank you for your support – I really appreciate it and I look forward to seeing you again in the new year.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

I love photography with mirrors and the polished stainless steel of a lift can make for some trippy kaleidoscopic type of images…

There’s nothing quite like a good meal and a cold drink after a long, hot day’s work, but I’ll need a good shower to clean up first – care to help me?

This has been a funny sort of a year. Many ups and downs, some wonderful travel, and now it’s coming to a close. Through it all I have had the immense pleasure of seeing you my clients.
I have worked in this industry for over fourteen years as it continues to evolve and grow. I am proud to be a part of it and to have the opportunity to provide my services.
One of my clients with a disability messaged me just yesterday to remind me that I have been working with her now for thirteen years!
People sometimes ask me when I am going to retire because “you can’t do this forever…”. My answer is always “I’ll keep working as a male escort for as long as my clients want to see me.”
Why? Because this is the best job in the world and one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done in my life. I get to meet so many wonderful people. Help them to enjoy their sexuality, sometimes help them grow as people, explore things that they might never have had an opportunity to otherwise.
Sometimes I’m there to help them get through a difficult period in their life. Be it a life-changing illness, divorce, or personal loss.
Whatever the situation, it is a privilege that I am trusted to share that journey.
So thank you to everyone I have met, or who has continued to see me this year. Your support is greatly appreciated.
I will be taking a few days off over the Christmas period, but please feel free to drop me a line any time if you would like to make a booking.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe break.

Life is stressful. Take a moment to relax with me and let it all go.
Well, it’s been a few years now of keeping my hair “long”.
I like it, most people I meet seem to like it that way too – but I’m really sorry, it’s time to go! The summer heat is really starting to bite and it’s just way too hot with longer curly hair.
When I’m not in Sydney working as a male escort, I’m down south helping people build dreams and fix up their properties. In short I spend a lot of time outdoors and summer is prime time to be doing that work. That also means I’m covered up – long pants, long sleeve shirt, and most importantly and wide brimmed hat.
A thick top of curly hair added to all of that means that hot days are really hard.
So it’s time for a hair cut!

Many years ago I came across a photographer who took amazing self portraits. I’ve always thought “I could do that too”. But you know how things go. Life is busy, bills need to be paid, work gets in the way of the creative process…
In short, I never really made the time.
Until today. I pulled out the trusty Canon 1DXii with my favourite lens, popped it on the tripod, connected the remote shutter/interval timer and took some photos.
Well. I wasn’t really expecting too much from this first real foray into self portraiture. It’s a difficult thing to do as you have no direction, no way to frame and preview the shot, you have to visualise the pose and how it will look, then enact it. So much to think about and play with that would be so much easier if someone else was taking the photo…
But I was honestly very pleasantly surprised! I think this is one of the best photos that I have ever taken. But I’ll let you be the judge.

My diary is filling up fast for the rest of the year – but I just happen to have a Saturday available due to a booking being moved, that is November 2nd.
If you have been thinking about making a booking soon with me and a Saturday is your preferred day then this is a rare chance to get a Saturday night date on short notice! Drop me an email, or text, or give me a call.
