The trial, scheduled for 2022, is expected to run for four or five weeks with the crown relying on a ‘large amount of photographic evidence’, according to Eyre’s lawyer, Rebecca Suters. He operated Rob Eyre Photography, claiming to be experienced in ‘all formats of photography, model portfolios, fashion, editorial, product and a passion for dancer photography’. Charges relate to alleged incidents that go as far back as 2009, and against women as young as 17. The 57-year-old photographer plead not guilty to eight charges, including four counts of sexual intercourse without consent and two counts of assault with act of indecency. Other portrait photographers have had similar accusations levied against them, including another Newcastle photographer, Rob Eyre, who is facing trial next year for alleged sexual abuse of six models. Todd was jailed for 12 years, with a non-parole period of eight years. After three women went to police in 2017 with complaints about Todd, a taskforce was set up and more women came forward with similar stories. Todd pressured some women to strip naked for ‘artistic photos’, despite no prior discussion about nudity, including one woman who requested portraits to give to her mother. Newcastle District Court Judge, Tim Gartelmann, said Todd ‘violated’ his victims expectations. He offered professional portfolio photo shoots via Facebook. With a previous conviction for criminal behaviour from back in the ’80s, later in life Todd exploited professional photography to meet his victims. Todd procured aspiring models through his phoney glamour photography studio, Primeval Edge – a backyard studio operated from his shed, where many offences were committed between 20. The 57-year-old photographer committed nine counts of indecent assault and five counts of sexual intercourse without consent, while being found not guilty of 10 other similar charges. Last year a high-profile sexual abuse case found Newcastle amateur photographer, Cameron Allan Todd, guilty of 14 counts of sexual abuse against nine women, including seven young models. It usually involves a professional service provider, and unfortunately photography is one of the easier professions to fake and exploit. There aren’t many everyday situations where two strangers are alone in a private setting. ![]() Some predators have leveraged the camera, under the guise of ‘artistic fashion photography’, to gain access to younger female models. This sadly isn’t always the case, with some photographers’ behaviour ranging from awkward and creepy, to potentially criminal. While this new fascination in boudoir and swimwear photography might raise eyebrows of family and friends, it’s hopefully not driven by a desire to ogle younger women. Each has its own set of challenges to master.īut some are drawn exclusively toward portraiture of young models. ![]() Perhaps the photographic speciality will be in macro, landscapes, family portraiture, travel, or birds and wildlife. ![]() Maybe it’s a hands-on skill like carpentry, a physical activity like jogging or golf, getting activated with local community groups, or buying a new camera to take up photography. Taking up new hobbies and interests later in life is encouraged- especially as people head towards retirement age. There is an unusual tendency for some men, of a certain age, to pick up a camera and decide their new passion is boudoir and glamour photography.
