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!

Doug

So this is Doug!


He was a little hesitant at first to let me photograph him but a mutual friend (Daniel from a recent shoot) gave him that extra push and told him to "Go for it!"

I was unsure how to go about photographing him.  He was a little nervous and yet at the same time also excited to be doing something out of his comfort zone that I didn't want to push his limits too far.

Then it hit me...again!

I know that this blog is for viewing semi-nudes but men are photographed in a sexy way all the time in and out of their clothes.  After all, my last 3 shoots just proves that so why not just keep doing what I have been doing and not worry about how much skin is showing in the image.  I always seem to forget this simple fact!

While I found Doug to be quiet and somewhat reserved, I knew that underneath his outward appearance that with-in there was a mass of emotion and passion and it was all wrapped up in the most beautiful yet extremely masculine face and body and I needed to capture that in the images I took.

For someone who had never done this before, Doug was simply AMAZING not to mention sexy as hell on a whole new level!

I will never be able to thank Daniel enough for giving Doug that little extra push my way!

Enjoy!

George

So this is George.

Handsome, polite, kind and one of the most amazing models I have worked with!

Rarely did I ever have to tell him how to pose. Natural through and through and willing
to let me just be creative!

It was a late night shooting but so worth the lack of sleep!

Wouldn't you agree!?

Enjoy!

Daniel proves you can't judge a book by it's cover!

This is Daniel,

Daniel was so much fun to work with and such a gentle soul.

He could carry a variety of different looks and the images below prove it!

My favorites are the "Leather" look. It fit him so well that I had a hard time moving on to other looks.

You'll see what I mean and remember "You can't judge a book by it's Cover"!

Enjoy!

New Style

Back again and in a shorter time span than what I have been posting earlier!

I recently got together with this Model. Great guy and an even Greater Photo Shoot!

He was amazing to work with and suggested I do some different types of shots that I had not done in awhile or that I was not really all that comfortable with. No backdrop and natural lighting were key for these.

I have, of course, shot images with Natural lighting but I have always preferred the control I get with studio lighting shots. Working without a paper backdrop was also refreshing. I felt like a lot of my images were becoming repetitive because of my heavy use of them. Maybe this is all because Spring is here and the studio gets Amazing natural light. I like to think, and truly believe, that this model greatly inspired me. He has now become my Muse and I will definitely be photographing him again in the near future to which he has Graciously agreed!

Enjoy the new images! I sure have!

One last look

Ok, so it has been a really long time since my last post and I apologize for that!

I decided to take a bit of time off from the semi-nudes to focus on other areas of photography but I am back on board again!

I have some future clients booked for some new semi-nude shots so I promise to have some new stuff up with-in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime here are a few that you haven't seen yet.

Enjoy!
