New Zealand is also called Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud. The sky here is just different.

So, how was your day?

Lioness and Benji found a whip.

A woman in a black latex outfit is powerfully seated on a couch. Her right arm is raised and holding a whip, which is wrapped around a man’s neck who is lounged at her feet.

As much as I love summer, autumn colours are just unbeatable.

Forest walk with anonymous friend.

A forest path in autumn, the ground is covered with leaves. A nude woman with long hair is walking down the path, away from the viewer.

I love the human body and can find beauty in all varieties. But shooting with athletes just gives me immense joy. Even if it feels like cheating.

Eroticism for me is visual storytelling, where what you don’t show is as important as what you do. I want the viewer to feel something. Their imagination should fire up and paint a picture.

I’ve seen and heard comments about the male vs female nude art ratio many times before. Here in NZ it’s definitely a challenge to find men willing to show this side of themselves. Probably cultural?

Here one of my faves, Adriaan. Rest in peace.

I love meeting people who are visiting New Zealand, and creating memories with them. Like Heather from Canada here.

#artnudephotography #naturalist #picturesque #nudeinnature #magicallight #shesellsseashells

We see a young woman in the foreground, leaning her back against a rock formation. She’s nude, one leg angled, her left arm wrapped around her. Right behind her is the sea, the water rough, and hills farther away. The sun is low on the horizon, throwing golden light on the scene.

The light in New Zealand is just different. Did you know the Māori name Aotearoa means ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’?

A beautiful nude woman squatting between flaxes and shrubbery atop a hilly landscape. Her body is facing away to our left, but she’s looking over her shoulder at us. The sun is low on the summer sky and located behind her, outlining her with golden light.

What remains of the sun.

Always a spectacle atop the Port Hills by Christchurch, NZ.

The last golden sliver of sun cuts the horizon against overbearing clouds. In the foreground, a slim naked woman, draped in a light cloth, only slightly lit by the warm light, is sitting high atop a mountain, looking contemplative. Her hair is tussled by the strong Canterbury winds.
