We learn something every shoot mate.

Really nice.

A panoramic iPhone image showing the full scale of the Whale Beach headland location. A large rocky headland dominates the centre frame, with boulder fields at its base. Two nude models are visible perched on the rocks in the middle distance, with the photographer visible nearby. Wave spray rises on the right side of the frame. The beach and ocean are visible to the left under a dramatic blue sky with storm clouds building.

Behind the sirens. This is what the location looks like at Whale Beach. @poeticminx.bsky.social and @andifferentname (IG)

Thanks @ottomellar.bsky.social for the iPhone Pano!

Thanks Kyle. How did your shoot go?

And again moderation calls it explicit.

Two nude women sit together against a dark textured background, rendered in black and white with heavy vignetting. The blonde leans forward in the foreground, one hand raised near her temple, gazing softly toward the camera. The dark-haired woman sits behind her, one arm raised against the wall, watching over her shoulder with a steady, knowing expression.

Darkness.

Thanks Luis, working with beautiful women is a privilege.

I expect that this will be flagged as explicit sexual, but it isn't so will have to appeal. Taken in March 2026 in Whale Beach, Sydney. A fabulous day with laughs and great company. Many thanks to my wife for her help and mate @ottomellar.bsky.social for supporting me on the day. Two nude women sit together on weathered sandstone rock at Whale Beach, Sydney, photographed from a low angle looking up. The blonde sits behind with one arm raised holding her wind-caught hair, gazing directly at the camera. The brunette sits in front with legs drawn up, also looking directly at the camera. The striated cliff face rises behind them to the right, with a blue sky and scattered clouds to the left. The wide angle perspective gives the figures a powerful, looming presence against the landscape.

Not an explicit image.

Thanks Louis. Having great models does make things easier!

...and it immediately get's tagged by moderation as being an explicit image. <sigh>

Two women stand together on sandstone rocks at Whale Beach, Sydney, wearing gold and black costume pieces with flowing black fabric caught in the wind. The brunette faces away from camera while the blonde faces toward her, both caught in an intimate pose. A large wave crashes dramatically behind them against the rocks, sending white water high into the air. The headland is visible in the background under a deep blue sky.

A great day shooting.

A fantastic and productive shoot yesterday with @poeticminx.bsky.social and @andifferentname www.instagram.com/andifferentn...

Always fun. More to come.

Thankyou! Not only have you taught me so much but are always great to be around.

I have so many more to edit from our Sirens shoot yesterday.

Thanks Luis.

Two nude figures are draped across large weathered sandstone boulders in a narrow rock canyon at Whale Beach, Sydney. One figure with dark hair reclines across the rocks while a blonde figure sits upright above her, one arm extended reaching downward. The canyon walls rise steeply on both sides, opening to a deep blue sky with wispy clouds above. The scene has a mythological, elemental quality.

Sirens between the rocks. Shot on Whale Beach yesterday with @poeticminx.bsky.social and @andifferentname (IG). Lots of sorting and processing to do from the shoot.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

A woman with auburn hair sits sideways on a dark textured sofa, wearing a gold chainmail body piece. She is turned toward camera left with one hand raised to her jaw, gazing thoughtfully off-frame. The background is dark draped curtain with a soft shadow. The overall mood is intimate and warm.

Gold. @mayhdalton.bsky.social Sydney 2025.

That is lovely. I really like it.

A figure kneels on sandstone rock at Sydney Harbour, nude, holding a length of white lace fabric that billows dramatically in the wind above and behind her. Her face is partially obscured by the moving fabric, one arm raised with fingers spread. Dappled lace shadow patterns fall across her torso and arm. The deep blue harbour water and green headlands are visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

Wind, lace, harbour, @aimmodel.bsky.social

Thanks Luis. It makes me happy when others like my work, because I shoot what I like personally and it’s nice when others do too - especially other photographers.

I have a nice single malt waiting.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Now that you’ve retired maybe you can get back & stay a bit longer. I don’t know when it’ll be safe for me to visit the US again. My social media wouldn’t be appreciated by Trump supporting border guards, and I know someone handcuffed etc & deported on entry trying to visit Hawaii for a holiday.

Cool. Let me know if you are going to be in Sydney and I’ll buy you a drink.

That’s part of the plan. It’ll be my first duo shoot, so a bit daunting. Luckily Aurora is great and my mate Otto will be there to help. Andrea and Aurora work together a lot too so that takes some of the pressure off. Will definitely be posting the results.

I’m shooting with Aurora again tomorrow, although this time she’ll be with Andrea. Hoping the weather holds as we will be at a beach.

Yeah, having an exposed nuclear reactor in the sky generates *lots* of light to make it do some fun things. :)

Some of the other shots were more tricky though as I’d borrowed a mate’s Olympus and the lens flare on it was a real issue. I actually got both of these (and a lot more) with an iPhone 15

Thankyou. Here is another taken at the same time. bsky.app/profile/me92...

Thanks mate. I really appreciate it.

Thanks mate. I chose the location based on where the sun was going to be at the time. The weather was great, however the days on either side had more spectacular clouds. We asked Aurora to bring the shawl with her hoping for these kind of shots. So glad that everything came together.
