'To cap off the shoot Yasu grabbed his skateboard once again and we got some killer shots of the boy and his toy relaxing on the couch.'

For Yasu's first nude shoot, PR decided shooting in Yasu's own apartment would be a great way to help with his comfort level, as well as add a personal element the shoot. They shot for an entire day, following Yasu through his morning rituals, getting up, brushing his teeth and shaving. Then showering and getting dressed and ready for work.
I love shoots which capture what we normally consider boring, routine parts of our day. The element of photographing these rituals adds a voyeuristic and incredibly erotic element to activities and quiet moments that we usually don't give much thought to.
It certainly doesn't hurt, when the subject doing those mundane daily rituals is as beautiful as Yasu. Yasu's body is incredible. Both lean as well as strong and well defined. I also love Yasu's eyes which exude both a subtle innocence, as well as intelligence. His sexy grin also seems to indicate Yasu enjoys showing off his body, and all of the hard work that went into building and maintaining his impressive physique.
'Working with Yasu over this 2 year period has been a great opportunity to get to know a model and watch him blossom into a professional. He's now a personal trainer and college graduate. It's been a real joy to see him progress from the first shoot to where he is today completely comfortable in front of any camera.'
