My muse
🕑 Added 2024-10-14 08:02:54 +0000 UTCThis post is a test of your perception of the male body. I know that most of you my patrons are men.
I will immediately ask a question - are you interested in seeing my attempts to shoot male nudes?
This is probably the first such conscious shooting of a man. I already filmed Alex once. We took self-portraits together in the pool. But then it was something more spontaneous, more aimed at self-portraits and I did not focus on the male body at all.
This time in Berlin - I did dare. It was not as difficult as I imagined - especially since Alex (my muse) is my friend (we once worked together in the same photo studio for a long time). And what I want to say is that I am very satisfied with the result of the first such shooting. I also shot a little on medium format film - I messed up the focus a bit, there were some blurry shots - but overall I gained experience.
For the first time, I felt confident when filming a man and was not ashamed to communicate with him during the filming. Now I feel more strength and a greater desire for such shootings) And by the way, in Kyiv at the beginning of September, I already shot another one - with another friend of mine (for now, I offer shootings only to them). And there I am also very satisfied with the result.
So what do you say? Your thoughts, your feelings, your criticism - everything is welcome)

This is inspiring for some as myself who practices photography as well. I’ve completed a shoot with a male as well and share the same sentiments as yours. It’s fascinating. I have yet to do another though although I have attempted to recruit a male.

Great idea and looks beautiful. Although someone here proposed the best idea: maybe you should have a separate Patreon site for it. I think majority here is to see you and your take on women.

Yeah I understand what you mean... I didnt tell him to do some specific poses - I more followed him in his movements. But you are right - he is a bit feminine (and not only on my pictures). But i got you. Interesting what you will say for my second shoot with another guy

Well, since this is your first test it's not bad, good job.! I'd suggest not to try the same kind of poses as when the subject is a woman: try something different. Even when choosing the model, it seems like you were selecting one with a body that was as "feminine" as possible (hope not to offend anybody). In other words, it looks like you are trying to repeat what you are doing while shooting women, but I think you should try to do something totally different while shooting men.

These are very good photographs. Lines, lighting, composition are all visually interesting. I enjoy your work of all subjects!

I'm interested in following your journey of exploring the male nude. And I think those look great! But I'm certain that I'm in the minority here. Maybe you could add another patreon tier for those that wish to see your take on the male nude?

Nice Photos but I'm not interested in male nudes.
