So I am a member of a really great website called Model Society which is a happy, celebratory, supportive and creative space for photographers and models who work in the Nude Art space, as I do.

Just recently Model Society asked its members if we would consider allowing the admins and curators of the site to consider our portfolios on the site for inclusion in a book that they wanted to launch on Kickstarter.

I said “YES!” right away of course – I am not trying to make this my career and yet I do want to have my work reach further than my echo chamber, so any kind of exposure like this is something that I want.

I was selected, and indeed these two images were chosen:

Multi exposure of a nude female model in black and white,
Nude portrait of a model posing on top of a dry stone wall by a Scottish Loch

I could not be more thrilled – the first image was the first of my images that Model Society featured on their website and Twitter (I know it’s called X now), and the second one is one of my all time favourite images of one of my all-time favourite collaborators. The first model is the wonderful Bobbi Castle and the second is the sublime Merrique Sainte.

So, hopefully I have got you a little interested, but in case you need more persuading, here are some images of how my work is going to look in the book, and what the various versions of the book are going to look like…

So, here’s the ask… If you are interested in the book, and / or interested in supporting me then please use this link to back the Kickstarter:

I really hope that you get into the idea of backing the book, this is going to be a beautiful thing to have in your home, and if you back this book and get a copy of it you will have a small piece of me and my work and that is pretty awesome to me.
