The story behind Greg...
🕑 Added 2025-07-02 23:52:46 +0000 UTCBack in the day one of my goals with my photography was to land a cover of DNA Magazine. I perceived it as a great measure of success to have a magazine cover for a magazine that has done so well. So in March 2015 I got Greg to model for me. He was one of the most attractive men I knew at the time and in my mind fit the bill perfectly. When you talk to DNA about submitting images they want eye contact, abs and bulge. Tick, tick, tick. Greg had it all.
I organised to do a shoot at my friend's place so we could use his backyard and pool. We organised some swimwear samples from a couple of different places and off we went. As you can see, Greg looked amazing and personally I believe he was a good candidate for a cover model. Sadly DNA didn't agree and they didn't use the photos which is totally their right to do.
I've submitted to a couple of online magazines lately trying to promote onlyfans and patreon but a couple of them have turned down the submission because the images didn't align with their vibe. Again, that is totally fine for them to do. Just like I have my brand, they have theirs and it's finding that intersection that makes it work.
It's funny looking back on this shoot. Greg's haircut was VERY much a product of the time and that has moved on but I always had a bit of a crush on Greg.
