From the Inside Out: CR By ClearEye

'It was something I had wanted to do for a long time, but assumed it was impossible. I thought there was no way I would be able to find beautiful men willing to be photographed nude by me.'


The quote above, comes from the first piece that I did featuring the imagery from ClearEye. I first connected with the Ohio photographer back in 2012 while profiling his work for tMf Magazine. Although ClearEye had been shooting for years, he had only recently made his sole focus the nude male form.  I was immediately drawn to the simplistic elegance he captures in his images.  ClearEye rarely uses fashion or props, and his locations are generally beautifully bare. Despite this, he consistently creates complete and emotionally layered imagery of the model in front his lens.


CR was one of the first models ClearEye photographed after switching his focus, and was just getting started shooting nude portraiture.  When he started looking for models, one of the first places he began looking was on Craigslist, and it was there he connected with CR. The 21 year old college student was an aspiring actor, and interested in getting some headshots in exchange for modeling.  


CR was also up for doing nudes, as long as they were 'tasteful'. As soon as they met and began shooting, ClearEye was stuck with how intelligent and well-spoken CR was.  CR was committed to getting some great shots, and took the shoot very seriously, treating it much like he would an acting role.


'As I was giving him instructions for poses, CR made some very good suggestions on other ways I could phrase my requests. For example, at one point I asked him to “look down,” and he said that a model might also respond to a request to “look inward.” We had a very interesting and enjoyable conversation while we were working.'


It was back in 2016 when I last featured ClearEye's work with Andrew Diener, (HERE)  and I've been looking forward to sharing more of his work.  Recently I spotted some of his shots of CR in the Model Mayhem pic of the day contest, and reached out about a return.  This series with CR, although early in ClearEye's spotlight on the male form, encompasses so much of what I love about his work.


I initially though the images of CR might be a new shoot, but then remembered seeing them previously on ClearEye's Flickr portfolio.  Like so many artists, ClearEye's work had to be put on hold when the pandemic began, but he's back shooting and looking for models to collaborate with near or willing to travel to Columbus Ohio area.

12 Days: Kevin McGarry in Christmas Scavenger Hunt

'When Belinda heads back to her hometown for the holidays, things get complicated when she is forced to team up with her ex, Dustin, at the town's annual Christmas scavenger hunt.'


I'd be up for a Christmas Scavenger Hunt if the prize I was looking for was actor Kevin McGarry.   I've been noticing the Ontario born McGarry a few years on another Hallmark movie, 2017's A Song For Christmas. FH readers might als recognize the hot Canadian from his roles on Heartland, Schitt's Creek and as Mountie Nathan Grant on When Calls The Heart. 



When Calls The Heart

Saving Hope (2017)

Although McGarry hasn't done any nude scenes, that I could find, he did play a stripper on an episode of the Canadian Medical drama Saving Hope.  A stripping mishap, as one often has, led to a rupture of one of the dancers butt implants, leading to a visit to the ER.  No surgery was required, just a recommendation to go home and sit on some ice.

Although Riverdale, and it's unbalanced writing, continues to frustrate me, my crush on it's star hasn't waivered.  The beach shoot gif below, used to be my favorite, but it's been replaced by a new one.  KJ Apa gave us all something we've wanted for Christmas for some time, a glance at his Apatising Ass.

' When I was on M.V.P, I think I was about 22 and scared out of my mind. You can see it in my eyes.'
Dillon Casey


That fear worked well for Casey, as his character was new to the team, and wasn't initially accepted by the older more experienced players.  Casey's character Trevor was the new, hot young stud on the team, and all the attention he got from the media led him being harassed and hazed by his teammates.  One of the more memorable scenes involved a string being tied to Trevor's junk and attached to a bucket while others tried to shoot pucks into it. 

Being Erica (2009-2010)

Torchwood (2011)

In addition to his roles on Canadian television, Casey also appeared on episodes of The Vampire Diaries, Skins and Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D.  He also appeared as a regular on Nikita, Remedy and Designated Survivor.

Last Winter: Alexander by New Manhattan Studios

'I realized half way through Alexander's session that I really wanted to work with him again. I finished the 2-hour session thinking there would be a part 2 a few weeks later.'

Last winter, Alexander's life was active and full. When he shot with Wes, he was juggling jobs, including just finishing performing in a run in a holiday production of The Nutcracker.  I first noticed Alexander earlier this year after Wes shared an image of him on the NMS Instagram page. I immediately took notice of his great look and incredible physique, and shared with Wes my desire to feature their work together int he future.


I remember being a little surprised when Wes shared that he was a classically-trained dancer.   My notion that all trained dancers have similar body types was quickly and rightfully proven wrong.  Alexander's body is clearly fit, and incredibly tight, but he also has some incredibly sensual curves, and a deliciously voluminous bottom, clearly sculped from hours on the floor and at the barre.


'In the best of times, dance is a a challenging, competitive profession with limited opportunities for regular work. Like most performers, dancers string together a life of gigs, forever grabbing at fleeting jobs. The pandemic has devastated the As with all of the performing arts, the pandemic has devastated the profession. In a cruel twist, the "plan B" employment option for many New York dancers, working as waiters and bartenders, has been equally obliterated.'


'The pandemic has demanded a pound of flesh from all of us. We are all paying differently, but paying a price nonetheless, in diminished hopes, expectations and opportunities. I can hardly complain about the inability to bring models into a studio while so many others are paying far greater prices. '


Alexander was one of New Manhattan Studio's last sessions before the pandemic fully set it.  This is one of the reasons it took awhile to feature his shots on the site.  Wes considers their work only half done, and had hoped to bring him back into the studio for a part two.  Waiting a few weeks turned into waiting a few months and Wes held off editing and releasing his work with the hope that he could bring him back into the studio to finish what they had started.  Unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans.  Other than working outside on Fire Island in the summer, with provided social distancing, the studio's operations have been essentially closed since March. 


Alexander's was one of our last pre-pandemic sessions and, as with Grant's session, we consider the work to be only half done. We have held off editing and releasing his work with the expectation that we would be bringing him back into the studio to finish what we had started. Unfortunately Covid-19 has had other plans. Other than some socially-distanced shooting on Fire Island at the end of the summer, the studio's operations have been closed since March. 


' At some point in the future we hope to bring Alexander back into the studio, but it's increasingly obvious that we are many months out from managing such a feat. It's time to share what we have already captured with this striking model.'

12 Days: Dillon Casey in A Perfect Christmas

' A Perfect Christmas follows a newlywed couple celebrating their first Christmas together.'


The newly wed couples Christmas ends up not being so perfect when Cynthia (Susie Abromelt) finds out she's pregnant, just as her husband Steve, (Dillion Casey) finds out he's been laid off.  With their families arriving for the holidays, they both decide to keep their news secret, in the hopes of having a perfect first Christmas together. 


Although I believe this is actor Dillon Casey's first Hallmark Christmas movie, it's not his first time working in Canada.  Although born in Dallas, Texas, Casey grew up in Ontario, the province A Perfect Christmas was filmed in, and earned his Masters of Economics at the University of Toronto. 


Like many of you, I was introduced to Casey when played hockey player Trevor Lemonde on the 2008 Canadian television drama M.V.P.   I think everyone remembers the memorable scene at the beginning of the shows run when the team's new female owner yanks Casey's towel off in the locker room. 


Since having his well sculpted butt exposed in the locker room, Casey's also had had his towel removed (this time by himself) in Being Erica and had John Barrowman yank off his clothes in an episode of Torchwood.   You can check out each of these scenes in my SKIN portion of this post on theNEXT PAGE HERE:

I've featured actor John Allen Nelson many times on the blog, including a piece featuring his skinning dipping scene in 1994's Criminal Passion. (HERE:)  Although there was a great  'underwater' frontal in the film, I wasn't aware until recently that it wasn't the only frontal in the film. 


Thanks to poster gemris on DreamCap, we now have the second scene of John's junk to enjoy.  Although I bought the DVD, it was the American release and this particular scene, was only available on the European release.  Check out the clip below.

12 Days: Andrew Francis in Christmas She Wrote

'When Kayleigh, a romance writer, has her column cancelled right before Christmas, she heads home to reconnect with her family. Kayleigh gets an unexpected visit from the man who cancelled her column who fights not only to bring her back to the publisher but also for her heart.'


In Christmas She Wrote, Kaleigh (Danica McKellar) returns to her home town after getting fired from her New York writing job.  Of course as soon as he's fired, they realize what a huge audience she had and her new boss (Dylan Neal) has to try to get her back.  Actor Andrew Francis isn't the male lead in this particular Hallmark Holiday film, instead he plays the gay male bestie to the movie's female lead.


In some ways, this 12 Days with Andrew Francis brings the series full circle.  Although I've always loved Christmas movies, I don't think I ever saw a Hallmark Christmas movie when I first started FH.  I think the first one I saw was a repeat of Santa Baby.  That had me on the hunt for images of the hunky lead played by Ivan Sergei.  


After Santa Baby, I began checking them out on occasion and two of my early 12 Days posts included features on The 12 Men of Christmas and a piece on Andrew Francis from 2011's Trading Christmas. (HERE:)  I really liked Trading Christmas and although Francis only had a small  part, I took note, especially of his great smile and curly blonde hair. 


Trading Christmas (2011)

Francis was mostly a voice actor through the 90's and 2000's but began picking up on screen roles including parts in television movies and on guest appearances on shows like Supernatural, as well as regular roles on Cedar Cove and Chesapeake Shores.  Francis is the perfect example of why I love the 12 Days series.  Not only does it introduce me to many talented and sexy actors, it also gives me the opportunity to seek out roles far from the nice guys they play in holiday Hallmark films.  Check out Francis' role in Deeper below to see what I mean...


Deeper (2014)

'A journalist is caught up in a woman's brutal revenge against two men who mistreated her in the past.'


Francis's only nude scene that I know of  is in 2014's Deeper: The Retribution of Beth.  In the film, Francis plays Steve, a sleazy owner of a porn company who picks up women on the street to film 'Girls Gone Wild' type videos.  While being profiled by Mark (Matthew Kevin Anderson) an investigative journalist, Steve makes the mistake of picking up Beth and her friend Sam.  Beth pulls a gun on the pair and drives the two men into the woods outside of town.


From there, her revenge commences.   As part of her retribution, at gunpoint, Beth orders Mark to sexually assault Steve.   I don't like sharing videos of violence or sexual assault, but I am including the video of the aftermath, when the incident in interrupted by a hunter who attempts to come to the rescue.  Oddly, the hunter chose not to pull up Steve's pants before lifting him onto his shoulders and putting him into the back of the van.

Advanced Anatomy: Drew by TCorrigan

' Drew caught my attention on MM and I was impressed by his slim, muscular build. His physique is an excellent study for anyone who enjoys the male anatomy.'


For some reason, I was struck with photographer TCorrigan's use of the work anatomy.  Given that anatomy is basically the study of the structure of the human body, it's the perfect word to use.  FH is focused on the male anatomy, yet it's a adjective I rarely used, nor one many artists and models use to describe their work.    


On one hand, anatomy comes across as more sterile and clinical than words such aas 'form' or 'body' that are often more widely used to describe a model..  On the other hand, it's also beautifully specific, especially when described the advanced anatomy of a model like Drew Bacchae.  There's absolutely nothing sterile or clinical about Drew's anatomy, nor the intensely sensual way that he utilizes his structure.


FH readers have previously enjoyed studying Drew's advanced anatomy. I featured the California based model's work several times over the past few years. (HERE:) I'm always struck by his beauty.  It's not just his face and body but his incredible skill with pose and interacting with the camera.  TCorrigan enjoys the challenge of assisting models to look relaxed and sensual in front of his camera, and with Drew's experience, that task was made much easier.


'Our photo shoot was both fun and productive. Drew took direction well and was willing to work with props like the bow & arrow and the motorcycle, each of which emphasized his amazing muscles.' 


I have been hoping to share  more of TCorrigan's work since first featuring his work with JayCee a few years ago. (HERE:)  I loved the photographers series with JayCee, especially the range of looks of emotions that was captured during the shoot.   TCorrigan tries when possible to shoot both in studio and on location when possible to create a variety of looks and capture the model from different perspectives.   As you can see, he was able also to do this with Drew, and I love the contrast between the studio shoots, and the series outside by the pool.


TCorrigan always pays special attention to capture sharp, focused imagery and as you can see from both locations, he captured tantalizing details in both settings.  There are subtle difference in mood in each with Drew looking very focused and series in the studio images.  In the shots by the pool, under the warm California sun, Drew appears more relaxed and care free, just as one would if hanging out in the pool.   Between the pandemic and the wild fires, TCorrigan hasn't had as many opportunities this past year to shoot under that California sun, but here's hoping 2021 brings more anatomy studies both  in the studio and by the pool.

Barry Gibb

'I can’t honestly come to terms with the fact that they’re not here anymore. I’ve never been able to do that. I’d rather have them all back here and no hits at all.'
Barry Gibb


As the last surviving Gibb brother, it's up to Barry to provide most of the story in HBO's new documentary How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.   I was just a baby when Disco was at it's height in the late 70's, but that doesn't mean it didn't leave an impact.  I remember vividly as a child laying on the rec room floor looking through all of the albums that my parents owned.


Long before I ever saw Saturday Night Fever or Grease, I imagined the stories based on the images inside the album covers.  We used to have a large wooden stereo that took up almost half of one of the rec room walls.  it was big and it was heavy and opened from the top.  I spent hours looking through my parents records and listening to their music. 

Andy Gibb

When I got a bit older, I got on the 'hate' disco bandwagon and didn't think much about the Bee Gees or Andy Gibb until I got older.  The closest I got was lip-syncing to Tragedy in JR High. It wasn't until years later that I began to appreciate the Bee Gees music, and leaned about their music beyond just the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. 


I really enjoyed watching the HBO documentary, and loved hearing some of the music that I haven't heard since I was a kid.  It had me quickly going to download songs I'd never hear or long forgotten.  I also learned so much, especially about their early years before superstardom hit in the late 70's. It was also interesting to hear about why they decided to keep Andy out of the group.  If you're a Bee Gees fan, or if like me, you never thought you were until now, I highly recommend checking it out.

With almost anything pleasurable, the lead up is half the fun.  When I was a kid, the two weeks before Christmas were the most rousing.  The anticipation, the excitement, the foreplay.  You weren't just sitting around waiting, you were active, planning, wrapping, decorating, getting ready for the climatic big day.


As you can see from this series from photographer PhotoRSH, model Kyle Kuhlman is ready and waiting.  His list is made, present is wrapped and his goodies are ready to eat.  If you can't wait until the 25th, you can check out much more of Kyle, minus the plaid, red suit and fur, on PhotoRSH's OnlyFans HERE:
