One man, two cultures, two shoots

This young man recently came to my attention on twitter with his very saucy antics. Then I clicked through to his Instagram and saw an artistic side to him and decided to message him about doing a shoot. We initially planned to work together a couple of weeks ago but things fell apart and we rescheduled for the Saturday just gone.

His name is Nebbi. A name chosen by himself after leaving a very toxic family life and embracing his sexuality and identity. It turns out that he's now become, to my knowledge my first Indigenous Australian model. We were chatting and it turns out he's also of Finnish heritage. It seems to be a really good mix that's working for him.

As you can see from our shoot and his twitter, he is not a shy boy at all. We started with a shoot on one of Sydney's nude beaches at 7:30am and of course there were the obligatory couple of old men that are there every damn day, even as we near the last month of Autumn. We put a lot of oil on his skin and got down to doing the photo shoot, pausing from time to time when one of the old guys was doing his laps walking up and down the beach.

Then it was back to my place for Nebbi to bring his own flavour to my "In My Bed" series. Cheeky, relaxed and exhibitionistic would be the top three ingredients in a shoot with Nebbi. The shoots won't be released fully for a while yet as I have other shoots scheduled for release before his but I know you'll enjoy them when they are released!
