Supply and demand (Patreon)

In the 16 years that I've been photographing male nudes (to the day actually, wow) but it's only been the last three years that I've turned it into a side hustle and sold downloads etc. The two exhibitions I had covered costs and that was about it but that was fine by me.

My biggest concern with turning photography into a business venture was always losing the passion for it by trying to earn a living from it. At the moment I'm still very lucky in that, because I have a full time job, photography is still a passion and I get to photograph exactly what I want, regardless of how it sells.

Having said all that, obviously I want to keep you, my supporters happy and at times I feel myself doing a shoot for the sake of it or being a bit less creative about a shoot and a bit more  focused on photographing the model's junk because I know it will help. There is always a balance. I promise I'm going to keep trying to get that right for you. Artistic, beautiful and sexy.
