'Everyone was quick to volunteer for any ideas we tossed out. Occasionally it seemed like a race to see who could jump out of the speedboat and get ashore first if we only wanted one or two guys in the shot!'
One of the reasons Mark, Mike and Gordon make such excellent shooting partner's is what similarities and differences they bring to their work. Obviously each share a passion for shooting the male form, but it goes beyond just that. Working with each photographer over the years, they have both a shared vision and a combined respect for both the artists they shoot, and the process and artistry involved.

Although their styles are different, they also beautifully complimentary. It's difficult to choose just one word to describe a style, but there is something about each that stands out whenever I see their Utah imagery. Although each adjective can apply to all three of the photographers, there is one aspect I feel radiates from their work.

I'm always blown away by Gordon's ability to capture the beauty of his subjects, both their physical form, and piece of their core beauty as well. With Mike's imagery, I always sense the joy. I always get the feeling that Mike truly enjoys being behind the camera, and it radiates through his images. With Mark, it's most definitely the drama. Mark seems to have a flair for capturing breathtaking moments, full of powerful emotion. Through touch, movement and pose Mark's images have an erotically charged energy that is both visible and felt by the viewer.
