One of the photographer’s greatest assets is the nude model. Without clothing, there’s no chance for someone to outwardly project their personality. Only a human stripped to the bare essentials, naked to the world as the day they were born, pure and without bias.
This was an exercise in mixing monochromatic colour channels to bring out details such as cuts, scars, stubble, and goosebumps. Also, some good practice in composition and framing. Best viewed large and on black (so click the pictures1).
And, of course, it doesn’t hurt if he looks like he’s been carved out of marble.

oh good lord
…..
Those P.S-iliac-spine dimples get me everytime.
i love that you can see hints of the veins/arteries, of freckles (like the one on his left glute especially) and the goosebumps…. gave me goosebumps!
meh. Your neck to this guy’s abs any day, Jeff. However the photos’ textures are very nice indeed.
@Tiana — That’s what I said when he dropped trou. He was getting me excited, and that’s not supposed to happen. That’s how fine this man is!
@loo — I had to look up what P.S-iliac meant. I only figured out that it’s Post. Sac…what do they stand for?
@xibee — Did you say neck? My dad would always make fun of my neck as being too feminine. You have some interesting taste.
Posterior-Superior illiac Spines. PSIS
It’s the bony process (bump) that causes those depressions on the skin in someone who has strong para-spinals muscles (or is exceptionally low in body fat) When someone is in excellent shape, you’ll even notice the PIIS (inferior spines) slightly inferomedial to the superior ones.
And i have to agree with xibee; your neck has so many great spots; the cervical lordosis ending perfectly at your c7 or that great spot where your SCM meets your clavicle (both the anterior and lateral insertion points) to mention a couple.
See! didn’t I tell you.
