Ava wasn't a model and didn't need to be. She was a kink-based escort. Her presence and honesty in front of the camera was a wake up call. RIP.

Jan, a wise good friend.

So great to see a photographer in ‘this’ network who loves shooting men.

Sara, Poznan ‘21

As a result of a car accident 12 years ago Sarah suffered almost complete paralysis. Lately she has started regaining feeling in her limbs after a long period of natural healing. It was more than a pleasure be able to photograph her.

The only thing better than a north facing window in Poland is a frosted glass north facing window in Poland.

Tech details are often requested - they mean nothing, seriously.

patreon.com/mikestacey - nfo that results in good pictures - has nothing to do with anything tech.

North facing windows in Poland are the best. Often, images needed hardly any editing.

You can always ‘see’ something, with anyone.

You can always ‘see’ something, with anyone.

There you go. What’s wrong with candid, that’s an art in itself and way harder than any model photography- cos as a photographer you need to be able to recognise the shot quickly, very quickly, no pose click, pose click - and hit the shutter in that instant.

Everyone knows how to lean on a wall for example but they can’t do it convincingly unless there is a certain vibe happening already in the shoot. And then there’s the light…

Probably sound up myself - just a vastly different approach is all.
