Into The Wilds - Artistic Nudes (NSFW)

Model: Erin M

One very early Saturday morning Erin & I went on an adventure into the wilds of Tasmania. We had a mission to create some artistic nudes within the amazing wilderness of the island we live in.    So we started at dawn and travelled, explored and shot until dusk.

There is something amazing about working within this environment. As someone that has lived in Tasmania most my life and explored a fair bit of it when I was younger, I really had forgotten what it was light to just get out into the forests.

Break Past A Barrier... Doing a Nude Shoot

This article is actually a link to another page because it features Not Safe for Work (NSFW) content (the title should give that away).

Read about photographing my first nude model and my mental struggle to actually get the confidence to do the shoot in the first place.

I am really proud of the work that came out of the shoot.

Feel free to comment on this post about the article, but please be polite. Any disrespectful comments will be deleted.

It's All In The Eyes

One of the biggest things for me when shooting portraits is the eyes. I learnt while working in video and cinema that selling a shot involves a lot of things, but if the eyes don't convince you, then everything can fall apart. When shooting portraits, this is something I really look for. You don't get the luxury of 24+ frames per second to tell a story. You only get one.

I am still learning how this works, and dare say that it's something that I'll never stop learning. 

Above is a shot of Erin, my talented friend that has helped me so much to learn this in the shoots we have done together.
