Paris Portfolio Pt. 2

July 14, 2026

Dear patron,

I have been hard at work to upgrade the content of this Patreon. I hope you are enjoying the new Friday and Sunday posts ! It's been a long task to sort through my work of the past 10 years and I hope you are enjoying the show.

This week I am sharing more photographs of Bruno from a shoot I did in Paris in 2024. For those of you who were subscribed last week, you know that Bruno has a truly glorious dick. I will be sharing more photographs of it in the next few weeks but for now, I wanted to focus on these sweet photographs from earlier in the afternoon to give you a sense of how a shoot with me is done. I like to ease into things, make sure that the model is comfortable before everyone is undressed. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about this series, my Paris Portfolio, and my plans to expand it.

Soon, I am happy to say, I will be traveling to Paris again to work on this series. I have always been inspired by 19th century portraitists like Courbet or Ingres and being in Paris I found a lot of inspiration from the city. It's beautiful and yet feels a bit old, like it's crumbling. I find taking photographs there a bit more free. Perhaps, that's because I'm not French, so not beholden to the complex social codes that French people live by.

Being there is different than being the United States. In France, older things have value. In America, newer things do. Both have their charm and their drawbacks. France can be romantic and beautiful, but the culture can also feel sedentary, like it's strangled by tradition. The USA can seem soulless or materialistic, but the optimism and emphasis on new ideas can be energizing. I find the mix to be appealing. There's a middle ground between reverence for history and progressive thought that I've always found comforting. Or, at least that's something I strive to produce in my pictures.

I always want my pictures to feel effortless, like I just happened to have a camera with me on a languid Sunday afternoon. What was fun about this shoot is that Bruno became cock became erect as soon as I took my clothes off....
