RePose:To lie at rest, to lie dead, to remain still or concealed
There are many artists who beautifully capture the male form. Some, choose to shoot and focus their lens on what they have defined as beautiful in terms of body height and weight, muscle mass, skin tone, hair, color and length on both head and body, race and age. There are others though, who capture the male form without the limits of a definition. David Gray of YogaBear Studio is one of those photographers.
I love how David has weaved so many themes into his new series RePose. It is not uncommon to see the male nude shot on a bed, on or within white sheets. David doesn't stop there however, the bed becomes a billowy background, soft yet stark. The white sheets act to both conceal and reveal. They cover and shroud, protect and unveil. There is a sense of freedom, yet the sheets also act as a tool of bondage, keeping the those in the bed trapped exactly where the camera wants them.
