THE ROLE OF THE MODELS

Seeking male beauty is no easy task, and for the model to agree to pose nude before the camera makes it even more complex, although in the final works, there is never a complete nude, not for moral reasons but for aesthetic ones, because what we aim for is to elevate eroticism, to create all kinds of impressions and sensations beyond sexual desire.

This requires finding models with a soul, beyond a slender and harmonious body. Those who practise sport or dance sculpt their figure in a very natural way, but we are aware that when working with photo editing and, later, the entire body of work, the essence of the person infuses the final result.

In addition to beauty, freedom, and a serene yet erotic vision of existence is one of our artistic goals.

On many occasions, the work of photography and acrylic painting, which will later merge in the post-editing stage, is carried out simultaneously, so that, adding background music and even theatrical elements that form the scene of the artwork-performance, the artistic process also allows the model to be a participant in the work, not only statically but as an active component.

We never work in photographic studios but in all types of spaces: rehearsal rooms, living rooms, empty interiors… and an important part involves, even when starting with a preconceived idea, improvisation and the energy created from the moment we begin the artistic process.
