New home for my "Intimate" images.

Hello!

This is the new home of my "Intimate Male" gallery. I have found that these types of artistic shots are not for everyone who visit my Website or my Facebook page and so I moved them here.

I try to make these images tasteful while at the same time erotic. I have found it to be a fine line between "Intimate/Erotic" and "Pornographic" and one that I think I am balancing on quite well. My intent is to show viewers intimate, erotic images without being pornographic. Again, a fine line.

Please feel free to let me know if you think I am crossing over to the "Porn" side. I really have no desire, nor intent to do that!

If your here than you have either stumbled upon it or like to see the creative and beautiful photos that are produced.

Either way, I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

IML or International Mr Leather

This was my first year attending the International Mr Leather competition in Chicago the weekend of May 25th 2012.

It was ... an Amazing trip. For a photographer I was on sensory overload for 5 days.

So many attractive men in all shapes and sizes and not nearly enough time to photograph even a tiny fraction of them. There are "Thousands" that attend this event every year!

Next year I'll have to stay longer!

Till then... here are just a few of what I was able to capture!!

Enjoy!

Men of CLAW

I went to CLAW (Cleveland Leather Awareness Week) to do some photoshoots and to also be a part of the BDSM Art Show. Stopped off in Chicago first to photograph my friend Tim and a new friend Jack!

I won "Best of show" for my images in the art show and one would think that this was the highlight of my trip but nothing, and i mean NOTHING beat the photoshoots of some of the hottest Men I know and also had the pleasure of meeting for the first time!

Say "Hello" to a few of the Men of CLAW!

Enjoy!

Woofy Eric

There is no other word to describe him.

Plain and simple .... "WOOF"

Enjoy!

Back with a Vengence!

I'm Baaaack!

It's been a really long time since my last post. I apologize for that!
What's been going on?

Lot's of photo-shoots and pushing some of my boundaries! Mainly in the full frontal nude shoots.
I've always been afraid to shoot full frontal for fear of it looking like porn and not artistic.

I'm not afraid anymore! :)

Let's just get right to it and start off with Jason!

I've worked with him once before and he was amazing then and even more amazing now! Not only is he beautiful on the outside but even more so on the inside. It's a Killer combination!

Wouldn't you agree!!??

Enjoy!
