New milestone: 40k followers on the Gram

Dear member,

I am pleased to share the news of another important milestone for my model photography - that of 40k followers on Instagram alongside a record 1.5 million views.

The 40k milestone was reached yesterday and already by today there are another 900 followers.

It appears that one post with Aphrodita (with the lead photo in this post) has gone viral, with 10.4K likes. I don’t think I have ever had so many likes on a post.

That photo isn’t particularly revealing, in fact, which is baffling (Aphrodita’s derrière is of course beautiful, even when partially covered, so perhaps I shouldn’t be baffled).

Could the fact that the admittedly beautiful photo isn’t very revealing be the reason the infamous Instagram algorithm liked it?

Who knows? Why do you think? I would love to have some views on this. Perhaps I should post beautiful but less saucy content on the gram? Is that how you found me by the way?

A few other posts have also performed very well - posts with Deneb, Maria Sudus, Miss Kislamina and Rebecca CsiManyo (who’s on her way to me as I write this, as paid members know I’ll be shooting with her later this week) to name but a few.

I must be doing something right! Including money shots with Sudus, for example lol - in fact that photo (see below) received over 100k views on the gram. I suspect it’s Maria’s bush that’s popular, what do you think?

Having said all that, please rest assured that I’m not resting on my laurels.

With so many exciting shoots coming up in the next few days and weeks, I couldn’t rest, even if I wanted to!

I can also assure you that I did take a short break with family during Easter - did anyone notice it?

There were two and a half weeks between my last two shoots: Ross was on 26 March and Alicia Black on 13 April.

in fact, which is rare for me). I had of course scheduled content for those two weeks - two posts per day, as usual - so I wouldn’t expect you to notice!

I am now ready for more action. I have lined up some very exciting shoots with five models for the second half of this month and even more exciting shoots with another five models during May.

I will be hosting four of these models in my home studio for two or more days, so there will be more than one shoot with each of them. Two are new to me and very very exciting ones indeed. Two others are new to me and involve two separate trips to Amsterdam.

Full details of all the upcoming shoots, together with names of the models, dates and locations can be found behind the paywall.

Sales pitch

There’s never been a better time to buy a monthly subscription, in fact. Any paid membership will allow you access to hundreds of posts from the past as well as future shoots. The highest tiers provide access to around 2500 posts. Even the official patron tier - which is my “middle” tier- provides access to over 2000 posts.

Nowadays, you can also buy collections and posts on an individual basis (I’m thankful to Patreon for that new feature), although, I would argue that in most cases it is more cost-effective to buy a monthly, if not an annual, membership.

Meanwhile, thank you all for being here.

Have a great day!

ps: membership of my Patreon has also grown to 800 members, of which, at the time of writing this, 58 are paid.
