'My shoots are mainly model-driven around certain themes or ideas, predominantly body image, "style", conscious v subconscious body language and other themes related to masculine physicality.'
Modeling naked can be an intimidating experience, especially when you're just starting out. So many factors to consider, so many and things running through your head. With many shoots, models can channel this energy into focusing on a theme or concept, or by diving into a character or attitude that a photographer may be looking for.
No so with Nick from Nosferatu Photography... Although Nick has certainly done many concept based shoot, his focus is solely on the model in front of him and the goal to capture not only their bodies, but their personalities and with the removal of clothing, also remove a layer of protection, helping to bring out the essence of who they are.
I love that Nick is usually able to have his models relax and I love that he is always able to capture some silly, even goofy facial expressions. These are often my favorite images from his shoots. 20 year old UK model Jason was no exception. I also really loved the series of Jason in just a the t-shirt, a piece of clothing he certainly made the most of. Nick describes Jason as someone naturally shy, but that his personality really shines when he gets warmed up', and comfortable during the shooting process.
'Jason was a joy to work with. He's only just starting modelling but already has numerous shoots under his belt. I think I was his third ever nude shoot. He's brimming with confidence. He's very body-confident, he said people had particularly complimented his feet! He's very keen to become a professional model and he is ambitious to do duo shoots.'
