The Men of Service 69 - Mexico City D.F.

Here is a group shot of the five men I photographed today. If you'd like to see more of them go to the Service 69 website.

Fotos con Pedro en DF

I was thrilled to be able to work with Pedro, who I initially approached online and later met to discuss the prospects of doing a shoot. Pedro is a professional model in Mexico City and has an impressive portfolio by some very gifted photographers. Although Pedro hadn't really done a nude/erotic photo shoot prior to this, he was very enthusiastic and his years of experience became very evident as he instinctively understood what I was looking for in each shot and worked hard to help me get it. The joys of working with a professional. I will definitely keep in contact with this very sweet, talented man and will hopefully work with him again the next time I'm in Mexico.

La Luna

I certainly don't have the equipment or the camera to be doing top-notch night photography, especially astronomy, but still I was very pleased with a couple of the shots I managed to get during the 2 hours of the lunar eclipse here in Mexico City.

I think the experience was all the more enriched having climbed numerous pyramids in this country where several thousand years ago the Mayans once looked to the same skies and charted all their intricate (and accurate) astronomical projections. It leaves one with a true sense of wonder and awe.

Fotos con Carlos en Playa Destiladeras

Here is the follow-up shoot to the disasterous one yesterday.

Primero fotos con Carlos en Puerto Vallarta

I met Carlos (Charly) several years ago through my dj friend, Giaco. I would have loved to photographed Charly then, however I had met him on the day I was leaving Puerto Vallarta. We re-established contact this year and arranged to meet on the playa Los Muertos and do a preliminary shoot, with plans to do another shoot the next day at a much more secluded beach in Nayarit where we could actually shoot nudes. Unfortunately our shoot was cut short.

In doing this shoot, I learned a valuable lesson.
The recipe for disaster:
carrying a camera
not paying attention to where you're walking
cobblestone roads
and flip flops
DO NOT mix!

This was the result.

Truth to tell, my pride was far more hurt than the scuff I received to my head and knee, especially having to walk back across the beach and then asking to use the bathroom at Blue Chairs Hotel looking like such a klutz.

Fotos con Salvador en Puerto Vallarta

There are days when as an artist you are proud of your ability to create or are happy with your own technique and skills -- today was one of those! Salvador was the perfect model. Puerto Vallarta was the perfect location. And I was on top of my game. How could the images be anything but breathtaking.

Photo shoot with George in Puerto Vallarta

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and hanging out with George at several of the Beefdip events in Puerto Vallarta this year -- he was here assisting the promoter in organizing the week-long series of parties. Hailing from Toronto, where he is a bartender at Woody's, George is one of the funniest guys I've met in a long, long time. And in addition to be drawn to his effervescent personality, I am not the first professional photographer that was attracted to George's handsome good looks and sexy physique. He was photographed several years back when he was living in Australia by the well known photographer Paul Freeman and it was a shot of George that was used as the cover of the first book, Bondi Classic.

Fotos con Hector en Puerto Vallarta

I was thrilled that this very sweet and sexy man from Monterrey, Mexico, agreed to pose for me. Although he was incredibly nervous to do this, his first shoot, he came through with beautifully strong images -- in addition to having a truly handsome face when he turned on that beaming smile of his the room literally lit up. In reviewing my favourite shots, I find Hector had an intriguing mix of sensuality and vulnerability and when combined with that muscular body of his made for a wonderful juxtaposition.
