Key footnotes for both photographer and model alike--
A brief primer here in male imaging:
We're all students of life...
Different subjects, different approaches...
But we share this, one and all...
We love being ourselves and together!
Let's go over some basics---
Floor-level angles, and substantial side and back features framing the man---
And close-up candids centered right on the model
Improptu moments in a backyard,
Also, friends coming together---maybe to soon cum together!...
Now, choices of angles---
Let's go over some basics---
Floor-level angles, and substantial side and back features framing the man---
And close-up candids centered right on the model
Improptu moments in a backyard,
Or, in the bedroom---
Casual,------ and then revealing.
Also, friends coming together---maybe to soon cum together!...
Now, choices of angles---
From surreal raised and titlted ------to slightly off center, yet close-up
Cameraman position himself just below and in front, and slightly angled
From gettin' in the mood,
To shootin' the full works!
From relaxing moments on vacation, and in the yard,
To ventures along the back roads---
To communing with Nature in the raw,
To refreshing riparian respite,
To the perfect moment and place, alone or together---
To funtime, while the cameraman watches for the right moment.
.Now, good indoor concepts,
and all-important lighting
Mundane window, two styles, casual, formal, morning sun
More daylight, side angle, titled blinds for just enough shadow detail
Fairly head-on lighting, slight angle on right model for chest shadow.
Neo-classical poses, offering subtle modesty not typical now.
Outbuilding, groundsman's room, open door on left for primary light, with
Left, exquisite blend of classical with erotic erection; right-angle light, and fill-in front and left.
Right, perfect casual moment in city apartment at dusk.
white screens front and side, out of lens, for diffuse fill-in light.
Artsy inclusion of violin at open French door, all other windows closed and draped to
emphasise shadows and remove unwanted interior detail. Right, superb casual, streching a
pose in a basement room.
The mundane but eternally mandatory erection, given new beauty by a sharp angle, left image,
and lighting emphasis with considerable shadow detail, right
Left, daylight from large window as sole lighting.
Right, physique artist almost bear-hugs mid-morning sunlight head-on.
Left, daylight directly over sofa; right, late morning direct sun, other windows closed.
More Neo-Classical, some modesty, right;
Left, more three-quarter profile.
Left, more three-quarter profile.
Contemporary styles, noticable angling on left.
Almost suspended erection pose on right.
Almost suspended erection pose on right.
Casual living room rear shots.
Nearly pansomatic shot, emphasising face.
Full-body masculine portrait.
The commanding and compelling erection again---
All the more commanding on lens with interesting angles of focus,
plus pairing hard albs with hard penis.
Groups, also---
Simple, backyard nighttime fun for students---
Blend of backyard light and fire.
Playful teen get-together.
The curious appeal of threesomes---
Already familiar with one another---
Getting an intro to the fun---
Established pair egging on a third.
Last but not least, Lovers---
Warmed under the sun---
Indoor delights, also---
And classical---
...Be proud, and strut your stuff!
