This page is a showcase of my earliest work. I first started nude modeling at the age of 21. As an art student my skills came in pretty handy when I, or anyone else needed a model and then I started modeling more seriously at around 26.

I'm 35 now, I've changed a little over the years but the hard work and effort I put into my workouts has become a little more refined and I find certain poses much more sustainable now. I also find I can work on pretty much whatever I choose to. My visits to the gym are more frequent and my approach to body building has become more focused. I still like photographic work as it's a snapshot of what I look like at that particular moment in time and images are always good to look back on.

These images you can see were probably the first photographic record of my modeling work, I'd been drawn many times but I think this is maybe the first ever nude photographic shoot. These pictures were taken in an abandoned industrial building and were staged and photographed by me, all on my own. I orchestrated the shots and I'm posed either on my shorts, a newspaper and luxury of luxuries - a groundsheet...

To say these are all my own work, they've aged well and I'm still quite proud of these images.
