Studio Notes #1 - June 2026

Hello and welcome to the first edition of Studio Notes.

Lately I've been mixing constant light and flash with some really fun outcomes. These shots came from combining light and colour to create some really cool portraits. Definitely going to be doing more of this in future shoots! #fetishphotography #pupplay

Lately I've been wanting to incorporate more colour into my work so I've been experimenting with gelled lighting. Loving the results so far especially when combined with the colour accents from the pup hoods #pupplay #fetishphotography

Playing around with coloured gels and backgrounds and just seeing what flows

So the new backdrop arrived and it 'just' fits Gonna have some fun with this

Fun group photo towards the end of the second Tom's Hide Out promo shoot for 2025. Can't wait to share some of the photos we got, these guys all look amazing!

Finally back in Melbourne after a wild ride in Adelaide for Gear'd then to Sydney to photograph The Naked Camp 2025. Slowly getting back to reality and preppibg for some fun new projects

It's been a busy past month with a lot of new projects coming through. Getting to do some promo shoots for local events and venues and helping a friend build his first kickstarter project to publish a book. I love that I get to help support my local fetish community with images that I enjoy making!

We’re LIVE! My Kickstarter has just launched and I'm so excited to share it with you. Be one of the first to see what we’ve been working on! Early backers get early bird rewards but you’ll need to be quick as they are limited! Click the link in my bio #ComingOut #Gay #Fetish #Leatherman #Leathermen

Puppy got a new hood! So naturally I took the opportunity to play around with lights as well as the new sling frame #pupplay #fetishphotography

Excited to be collaborating on this project. Capturing unique stories of the journeys of leathermen is important not only from a historical perspective but also for inspiring new generations to embrace leather culture and find their tribe.

Spread the word! I'm publishing a book about coming out and finding your tribe. www.kickstarter.com/projects/com... #anthology #book #bdsm #fetish #kickstarter #kink #leather #leathermen

Post photoshoot group shot after getting some amazing images for upcoming Tom's Hideout events - this shoot was so much fun! Plus we had our resident doggo helper providing support #leatherman #leathercommunity

Had such a fun time shooting the promotional images for Tom's Hideaway events this past weekend! So much leather and the events are for a good cause fundraising for queer upskilling in our community.

Post AWOL feeling really good, leathers got some good times embedded in them and I'm feeling inspired to just play and see what I can create. #fetishphotography #leatherman #gayleather

Shoutout to Melbourne based kinksters! I've opened some spaces for gear shoots in August/September - so if you have some favourite gear that you want to show off, get in touch! Go to robertcrerar.com/bookings-and... for info on photo sessions

This harness was the first piece of leather gear I ever bought, from Mister S in San Fran. It's seen me through many events, play parties and is still a piece I reach for when I want to feel sexy and strong. What's your go-to piece? #leatherman #fetishphotography

Geared up and ready for a fun AWOL - Arf! #leatherman #fetishphotography #pupplay

Highly recommended if you've never tried a nude camp before - and your resident photo pup will be there again this year covering the events and workshops :)

THE NAKED CAMP@nakedcamp.bsky.social · last yr.

THE NAKED CAMP 20-24 November Over 250 Tickets sold in 6 days Limited Add-Ons Still Available Option to pay in 4 x Monthly Instalments must end in 6 days FOR ALL THESE REASONS BOOK NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT ! tncamp.com.au

This month is AWOL so I'm really leaning into leather themed shoots - gear, textures, the way it makes people feel wearing and playing in it. The Melbourne leather community was my entry point into the kink scene years ago so it's always had an influence in my work and my own kink journey.

Throwback to when I was first coming up with a layout and sequence - sometimes the best approach is to just lay out a bunch of stuff on the floor and mess around till something sticks

While the first iteration of this book has been ‘done’ for just over a year now, it’s taken some time to find a reliable source to print additional copies. Though the excitement is renewed now that I have a foundation in place that I can use for future projects as well as the 2nd edition of this.

Latest print run is in and I'm actually quite happy with the results! The last couple attempts from different printers had issues with print quality and consistency but these all look great. If you're interested in getting a copy let me know as I'll likely do another print run if there's demand :)

Got some amazing new camo/orange gear from @mistrbear.bsky.social so had to do a fun little shoot - and look it matches my pup hood perfectly!
