'After photographing a bunch of 18-year-olds one after another, I thought it would be time to show a buff man in his mid-twenties.'
And buff he is! 25 year fitness trainer Michal reminds me a bit of a younger version of Games Of Thrones' Tormund Giantsbane, a character I always found wildly sexy. The Easter Slovakia based model maintains his buff physique by spending his days at the guy, either coaching his clients or working his own body to the limits. During his off time in the spring and summer, Michal also competes in the various street workout and parkour events across Slovakia including a GOT named competition titled King of the North.
Phil me up with Michal a few days before their shoot, as a way to connect, and of course check out what he really looked. Phil's surprise, Michael looked even hotter when they met face to face. The meeting was also a chance for Michal to meet Phil, sum him up, and decide if he wanted to proceed with a nude shoot. Later that night, just a few hours after their meeting, Michal wrote to Phil to say 'I'm in.'
'Michal was referred for the photoshoot by his friend Samuel S. While Michal often looks serious—like he means business—he’s also very friendly and it doesn’t take long to make him laugh or to get him to smile. We're planning a second photo shoot (at a different location) in mid-December.'
