Published in 17:23 Magazine Issue 4 Vol 23 This photoshoot published in 17:23 Magazine is one of my most favorite nude/bodypaint shoots to date. Not only because it turned out so perfect but because it was a special collaboration. The concept was to have Lizzy painted white and then colour added. We weren't sure exactly what we wanted the coloured parts to look like so I asked my artist wife Sharon to add the colour. While painting with full artistic license, I asked her to make it look like the paint was ivy growing from Lizzy's feet. I couldn't have asked for a better result! I would like to thank 17:23 Magazine for the…

Published in Xany Magazine's Nude & Boudoir October Edition Lizzy and I were recently published in Xany Magazine Nude and Boudoir issue on October 24, 2020 with a set of 5 boudoir images shot on location in a cemetery in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario The photoshoot happened on an overcast afternoon in October in the cemetery on Mill street.

I have been a subscriber to many of UK based Imagine Publishing's magazines from Advanced Photoshop to my current favorite Digital Photographer Magazine. You can imagine how happy I was when I opened this month's Digital Photographer Issue 167 and turned to page 12 to see one of my images published within. This particular image of amateur model Melissa Ann Scott was requested for publication from my image gallery on Digital Photographer Magazine's website by one of the magazine's editors. The flower crown was constructed by my wife Sharon Akey (http://curiosnthings.com) from various flowers purchased at the dollar store. I made the dress from some tulle that I purchased at a local fabric store. The photo was captured in my…
Back in 2014, I was contacted by the publisher of Modern Model Magazine who was interested in publishing a feature on one of my models. This was a first for the magazine as they hadn't previously published any Canadian models as a feature. The model, as seen above, was Laurel Mcintosh. I met Laurel when she was 17 and began working with her, mentoring her to attempt to get her legitimate work as a model. We did a number of photoshoots with Laurel and helped get her signed with an agency who used our images on her composite card. Laurel has taken a personal hiatus from modeling. However, you can still see our work in my…
