The Spring Suspension by JDT Photography

Today is March 26th, spring officially began close to a week ago. As I sit here assembling this piece for the blog; the wind is howling, the snow is streaming down as those of us living along the Eastern Seaboard are again experiencing Winter's wrath. Winter's grip was firm this year, so firm that currently spring is in a suspension state, held at bay by a stubborn season not wanting to release its grip.

Since actual signs of spring are currently being blanked with yet another layer of snow, our transition into the season, at least for now, will have to be a visual one. Will begin the journey into the season by heading down to the water, and into the woods with the imagery of JDT Photography.

I was first drawn to the work of Jesse from JDT Photography with this series of images of Blakely. I love how the Georgia photographer so excellently captured the feel and tranquility of being by the water on a spring day. I was beautifully transported from a winter's prison to the freedom of being outside, peaceful with the suns heat finally able to penetrate through.


Jesse may only be 24 years old, but his passion for photography is already firmly embedded. 'I fall more in love with it every single day.' The artists dream is to one day work abroad as a fashion photographer. Jesse has a strong connection with editorial photography and describes himself as versatile, with the ability to adapt to any genre/style of photography.


Being so young, I was curious on how Jesse got his start shooting the naked male form. Living in Georgia, Jesse says finding a location to shoot someone naked isn't really a big problem but his first nude shoot wasn't exactly planned, rather a natural extension of his work. Jesse was shooting a friend of his outside in the woods and recalled that the model had previously expressed an interest in trying some nude work in the future. During the shoot, Jesse threw out the idea of trying a few nudes. The model, normally confident and fearless became instantly nervous, but remained steadfast in accomplishing his goal.


The model's underwear came down, but for his first nude shoot, his hands remained firmly planted covering his junk. Artist and model were still able to capture some beautiful rear and implied nude images, taking advantage of the location, and natural light beating down from the sun. Although Jesse has a strong creative edge, and desire to push the envelope, he is also respectful of the boundaries of his subjects, and the lines that although can be creatively pushed, should never be crossed.

Game Changer: Kudos to The Good Wife

It wasn't easy, but I managed to avoid spoilers for this past Sunday's The Good Wife until I was able to watch last night. The buzz of a game changer hit the net the second after the scene, featuring Josh Charles and guest star Hunter Parrish,(above) aired. It is quite a coo that that the show was able to keep such a storyline secret under wraps for so long. The element of surprise has virtually vanished from television and movies so a show with the ability to give it's viewers so many jolts this season deserves much credit. Check out my previous pictorial tributes to Josh Charles HERE:

One of my favorite parts of the blog is putting together pieces for Blast From The Past. Hunks from the recent and distant past including Bo and Luke Duke, Trapper John's Gonzo and John Boy Walton just to start a very long list of hundreds of hunks from pop culture history I have covered. If you haven't journeyed back in awhile, maybe it's time for a trip.


Tapping Into Tobias by Chris Teel

'I was already doing porn so posing naked was a walk in the park.'
Tobias


Usually when I profile a model, one of the things I like to tap into are the reasons which led them to decided to try their hand at modeling. What got them started? What factors played into their decision to do nude work and what the experience was like for them, especially in the beginning. For Tobias, dropping trou was old hat, the goal in his work with Chris Teel was exploring different looks and emotions in front of the camera.


'A few months ago a friend told Tobias "If you worked out a bit you'd be very hot." Tobias took it so much to heart that he got a personal trainer, totally changed his diet and works out pretty much 7 days a week. In 6 months he's lost 50 lbs and he's become one of those guys we all admire with the big arms and the six pack abs.'

His hard work clearly paid off, Tobias has an incredible body. I think it is his beautiful eyes though... his nose and facial structure which really drew me to this set of images. Earlier this year, Tobias got together with photographer Chris Teel in an empty Toronto apartment to shoot. Love the results, especially the intensity captured in some of the shots.


When led to you first deciding to try your hand at modeling?

'I decided to try it out when I was finally starting to be happy with my body, I changed my lifestyle and workout to feel better and look better. Chris Teel suggested we have a photoshoot and a few friends pushed me in that direction. I never thought of modelling even before it was suggested.'


What have been your best, and worst experiences thus far with modeling?

'I haven't had any bad experience yet, I like the concept of me being a model, I don't think I will ever get how surreal it feels. As far as fame or money... I don't have a goal except having fun.'


Tell Me about Working With Chris and what the day of the shoot was like?

'It was a very intimate and fun day in an empty apartment. Chris was very nice and knew what he wanted, and we played music which made the environment really laid back and fun. My favourite picture is the one I am in the tank top, pulling on it to hide my privates. (pic of the day shot) It's my favourite because of the attitude in my eyes and the body lines showing.'



He Should Be Dancing!

I haven't watch any of the latest edition of DWTS, but Canadian hockey player Sean Avery had me wanting to check it out. As a hockey fan I have been aware of Sean for awhile, especially his support, vocal and otherwise, about gay marriage and gay rights in general. Outspoken on many issues, Avery has often been under fire for his post game comments, but when it comes to marriage equity, he was one of the first, and loudest, professional hockey players to be making noise about the issue.


Sean is an interesting athlete for many reasons. Controversial yes, but also a cool blend of cocky masculinity along with a keen interest in style and fashion. A former model, Avery also served as a guest editor for Vogue Magazine and guest judged for Project Runway. He also seems to be good friends with Bravo's Andy Cohen and there are tons of images on the net of them hanging out together. I also think Sean is incredibly hot and thanks to Youtube, I got to see his two dances before he got the boot this past week. His movements are a bit jerky, but also sexy with a lot of rhythm. I think if he had stayed he would have given us some great future performance.

It's Not The Same by Anthony Triolo

Life goes on it's true, but it's not the same, the same without you'

There are of course a lot of songs about great love. There are a lot of songs about the pain of a lost love. There are not a lot of songs written about a love which never really got a chance to begin. Singer Anthony Triolo's new song 'It's Not The Same' takes a look at dealing with a love that ends suddenly before it really had a chance to grow. There is an original ballad version, as well as a radio edit on SoundCloud, the radio edit incorporate the original piano arrangement with additional instrumentation that builds the track from a ballad to a dance track.

'The song is about a relationship that ends before you feel that you have fully given it a shot and when all of your feelings are all over the place and unclear what you do know is that 'it's just not the same.'

A Strange Place: The Photography Of Matt Lee

'I am always looking to capture and create images that echo a vintage vibe or propel you into an other worldly, mysterious and sometimes strange place.'


London photographer Matt Lee loves to capture that moment when the person in front of his camera is at their most awe inspiring. There is something truly exciting in searching for that exact moment and it is what he strives for and propels him within his work. Matt loves creating bold and striking images that have an ethereal, other worldly quality about them.


This particular series of shoots includes an erotic trilogy beginning with model Liam Northman, followed by models Alexei Jackson and Zeus Ledster. In addition to creating the vintage feel and vibe within the images, I love that one of Matt's goals was to take the viewer to a strange place. The more time I spend looking for new and unique images to feature, the more I am often drawn to work that takes me to places that I have previously resisted.


'I've known Liam Northman for many years and so he was an obvious subject for me to use in this new series of shoots. Not long before this shoot Liam Northman had just won an amateur boxing competition and was in excellent shape when he turned up for the shoot. The lighting was set up to really highlight and contrast his well built boxer's physique and delicate ethereal skin tone.'



'Alexei another keen sportsman and an experienced model, was chosen for his classic good looks, which were showcased perfectly in the tuxedo photo set. For the shoot with Alexei we made use of a mask I found in Italy on a trip a few years ago. It's a beautifully hand made, but extremely sinister looking creation that added a whole different dimension to the photo set. He was an extremely confident and fun model to shoot with which meant we got some really great shots.'


Matt creates the vintage look to his images in a number of ways. First, I believe his choice of models played an important role in the results. Each of the three not only have a strong, sexy and masculine look, but with their look, along with pose, they all also look like they could have been shot from a decade in the past. Stepping out of a mythical world of the 1940's, a boxer from a 1950's gym or a sailor from the 60's or 70's.


Matt's use of dark and light also adds to the vintage atmosphere and mood created, in some cases this mix, also creates an almost sinister feel. Not sinister as in evil, but more an ominous and foreboding feeling, creating a sense of urgency and slight danger which exudes from each of the three men captured.



'Zeus Ledster runs his own mechanic business by day and is developing into an amazing model. The black and white image of Zeus striking a match was my favourite of the day as although it was a simple pose and setup there is an incredible intensity to the image. Zeus is one to watch as he is just starting out his modelling career but already has some already done some great shoots.'

Mark Grantham: The Orange Couch

'One of the aspects I've really enjoyed about creating at the couch has been the range of guys who've been game; from "models" to "first-timers," surfer dudes to students to professionals, a range of ethnicities, various ages, straight/gay/and bi, and from "PG" rated to "NC17"! Whomever they are, they've surely hung out on a couch before. They've read, listened to music, relaxed, and maybe jacked off. Maybe it hasn't been an old tufted orange velvet couch, and maybe no one has been aiming a camera at them, but there can be a first time for everything...'

Bryon

The more time I spend seeking great images of the male form, the more importance theme and location play a role in the images that draw me in. Over the past few years some of my favorite shoots have been those weaving the male form within the location in which they have been shot. Some of my favorite visual adventures have been joining artists on their journey's; whether it be with Robert J. Guttke at the old ammunition factory or through the swamps, climbing mountains or exploring abandoned trains with YogaBear Studio, venturing into long forgotten or traveling to flying to Utah or jumping into the swimming pool with Gordon Nebeker.

Shane

It is always a immense pleasure to join Santa Cruz artist Mark Grantham on his photographic journey's. Mark is rarely in studio, instead choosing to bring life to abandoned warehouses and buildings, even momentarily, with his skill, his eye and his camera. When not at home in California, Mark is often traveling the globe taking in some of the visual wonders of the world. It is one of the reasons I believe, shooting the ordinary would not be enough to satisfy his creative need. Now one might not initially think an old orange coach could be the stimulate for a shoot, but as you can see from these images, in the hands of the right artist, it certainly can.

Dickie

'Last year I began an unplanned series... I'm not a big planner at my shoots as you might remember. I prefer to explore a setting with the model, and see what we find together. Early last year that process led a model and I to discover a wonderful old retro looking orange velvet couch in an abandoned building (well, the couch really is from the 70's probably, so I guess it's just "old" and not retro...). I thought it was cool looking, and the windows in the room let lots of light in, so we tried it out.'

JPhoenix

'Once back at home I realized how the model (Bryon) really popped against the orange. I was hooked. Over the past 12 months I've shot 11 guys on the couch. Still not the big planner, I tend to suggest an outfit or prop, but otherwise the guys are more or less on their own to relax on the couch. Some kick back, while some strike a pose, and others find ways to amuse themselves as though they were at home on their couch... Originally there was a boring brown couch there in the room too, but that disappeared months ago. Now the seat cushions are gone from the orange couch. I figure I've got another shoot or two before the whole orange couch disappears next...'

Derrek

One can only imagine the living which occurred on the orange couch. Parties, parents, kids, cups of coffee, snuggling to watch a movie, heated conversations, uncomfortable silences, naps after a hard day, slumping onto it crying after a breakup. Curling in the corner dealing with a loss, feeling up a new girl or boyfriend. First dates, last dates and all kinds of sex, both alone on a quiet afternoon, or with one another, or maybe two others, on a random Thursday night. I too love the windows above, providing light, and a witness to all of the above. I also love that so many of the models Mark has featured on the orange have been on the blog before, the connection to the couch is even more intense having gotten to know a bit about TyE and Derrek, Theo and JPhoenix through previous stories on the blog.

I am not sure exactly why... It may be partly due to the conscious uncoupling or maybe more importantly, the tight t-shirts he has been sporting on The Voice this week. Which ever reason it is, all of a sudden Chris Martin is now visible to me. I have always known who he was, I have for a long time enjoyed his music. It could have been the cloud of Gwyneth in my way, but watching him on The Voice this week had that cloud lifting, enabling me to see clearly how sexy Chris Martin can be.
