FaVorites: Kimi Antonelli
'I want to make my own story...'
One story I'm not sure Andrea Kimi Antonelli wanted told, (or maybe he did) was his recent viral moment on social media. You know social media loves a hottie dressing 'slutty'. For me, that usually means a flash of a well toned toro or abs.
The Italian racing driver, who competes in Formula One for Mercedes, was recently flashing a bit of side skin, (above) that was all over my feed. It shouldn't surprise anyone that my social media algorithm. often highlights hot 19 year old Italian race car drivers showing a wee bit of skin.
I'd already been planning a post on the red-hot racer after spotting him in an image last fall. The slutty stomach pic only had me revving my engine and speeding it up. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun....
Brenton Parry: The Olympians
'What a privilege to work with both of them and even more so, together! '
It's not often photographers get to shoot one hot, naked Olympian, let alone two. That's exactly though, what occurred recently with Australian based photographer Brenton Parry. A few weeks ago, Brenton had the opportunity to shoot Rower Robbie Manson, (competed in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics) and diver Matthew Mitcham. (Olympic gold winner 2008/2010 and silver 2008/2009). Brenton had previously worked with Robbie, but this was his first time shooting Matthew.
'Matt and I had spoken on and off for literal years about doing a shoot. Luckily, he happened to be in town rehearsing for a play at the same time as Robbie was here. They braved an early start on a Sunday morning and pretty horrible conditions to do a nude photo shoot together.'
Brenton will begin releasing images, (including full frontals) starting this Sunday February 22nd. You can check out the results on both his OnlyFans HERE & and on his Patreon HERE:
Most of the Moment: Oliver Ocean by New Manhattan Studios
'I’ve always been a very creative person and love to make the most of a moment.'
I've been following Oliver Ocean on social media for awhile now. The model and adult performer has an incredible body. So incredible in fact, those amazing abs of his were recently voted best abs in the Midwest. Not only does Oliver have an finely chiseled physique, but a beautifully sculpted face, one he skillfully used to express a myriad of looks and emotions.
I first saw his work with New Manhattan Studios a few months ago, and Wes assured me he'd sent on the results when he finished editing. Wes was also putting together a Photo Essay featuring his work with Oliver, (HERE:) which was released this week. I've seen most of the studio's photo essays, but I must say that Oliver's is one of the hottest, filled with many boundary pushing visuals.
Wes first shot with Oliver last summer. He and Kevin Donohue (NewLight Photography) Although they started shooting in the studio, they ended up moving out side on Little Island, the new island-park sitting in the Hudson River off the coast of Greenwich Village in Lower Manhattan. Between the two of them, they captured a few thousand raw images over the course of 4 or 5 hours.
'It was Pride Weekend and as we were exiting the Island, Oliver asked where The Stonewall Inn was. When I told him we were only about 10 blocks away, he was eager to see it. Walking down to the West Village, we passed the flagship store of Restoration Hardware, an institution that embodies the gentrification of the Meat Market District. '
A couple of months later Oliver was back in the city. This time, Oliver also shot with NMS photographer Marc French. Oliver and Marc struck off on their own one day to shoot along the Brooklyn waterfront. Later that same trip They brough Oliver into the loft on Madison Avenue where we captured even more shots of his beautifully toned torso. These shots are all from the studio shoot, but the photo essay also includes many visuals from Oliver's time with NMS in the outdoor locations.
'Shooting in Bushwick felt personal. The colors, the murals, the cracked sidewalks, even the old cars — everything had texture and attitude. Walking those streets with my camera, I felt inspired in a way that only New York can make you feel — like anything ordinary could suddenly turn into something iconic.
Oliver made it easy. He was completely in it — changing outfits without hesitation, climbing into a paper dumpster, leaning into bold backdrops like he owned them. People walking by couldn’t help but look, and honestly, I didn’t blame them. He looked incredible. I was just trying to keep up — adjusting settings as the light kept shifting, chasing that perfect balance. It was challenging, but that’s the part I love. It keeps me sharp.'
'There are some models that just make it hard to put the camera down, and I'm quite sure Devin broke studio records. Between 3 photographers and multiple sessions, the folder from which I drew the photos featured in the photo essay contained over 12,000 raw images.'
Oliver's Outlook:
What first brought you to modeling?
I first started modeling after a successful weight loss journey which caused me to want to capture the confidence and success that I had.
Was posing nude originally in the plan?
Yes, it was planned in the photoshoot and I was comfortable posing nude.
Love to hear the story of your first nude shoot, anything you remember?
My first nude shoot was a little over a year ago. I was a little nervous, but when I start modeling and get in front of a camera, my nerves subsided and I get into the flow of the moment, fully embracing the experience.
Do you have a favorite moment or experience?
My favorite moment was my recent trip to Madeira, Portugal. I got up at 4 am to trek over an hour to Fanal Forest. When we got there a beautiful fog lay low all around us. The weather was cold and it even hailed on us at times. I was able to pose nude and capture a truly remarkable photo with a group of photographers. I learned that sometimes to get the most out of a shoot, you have to brave through elements that make the conditions less than ideal, but the final product can be breathtaking.
Do you have a least favorite you can share?
None come to mind, even when I have a shoot that doesn’t go exactly as I planned it, i always try my best to learn something from it and enjoy the creative process.
Do you remember the strangest offer or request a photographer wanted you to shoot?
A photographer asked to shoot erotic photos of my feet.
Did you shoot it?
I did! It didn’t really do anything for me, but I was able to offer it to some of my fans who are apparently into foot fetishes. I ended up being grateful the photographer suggested it.
What are your boundaries for shoots?
My boundaries generally depend on my comfort level. I try my best to allow myself to live in the moment. If at any time I no longer feel comfortable however, I'm not afraid to say no or take a break to assess what has caused my comfort levels to change.
Why do you think you enjoy modeling?
I’ve always been a very creative person and love to make the most of a moment. Modeling gives me the medium to be able to do that while also empowering others to do the same all while capturing beautiful art.
What would you consider your best feature? (face, body, personality?)
I would honestly consider my best feature to be my personality, because of my small farm town routes and my southern hospitality. My personality and professionalism help me to stand out and be personable I also consider myself to be hardworking and easy to get along with.
Have you ever been recognized in public from a modeling shot?
Yeah, I have! It’s kind of crazy, but photographers I have followed for along time, all over the world, have been reaching out to let me know my photos are being used on mood boards for their collaborative shoots. I’s truly amazing that this kind of recognition is happening. So much so that even when other photographers I've worked with attend conferences, they are recognized for work they have done with me.
Tell me about your work with NMS.
I absolutely loved worked with NMS, they are very professional and we have become very close friends. I look forward to hearing from them often and anytime I am in NYC, I reach out to catch up even if it’s not to shoot because they continuously fill my cup and inspire me to keep honing my craft.
What was your favorite part about working with Wes and NMS?
Wes and his team are amazing, not only are they talented but they are also truly great people. They want the best for you and strive to make amazing art while with you. Every time we work together, they comment how I've grown in short time from the last shoot to the next and that is in part due to the advice they give while on set.
If $ was no option, what would your dream scenario for a shoot?
My current goal is to be able to shoot an editorial for Playgirl and Vogue someday. I am in talks with Playgirl to hopefully be doing a collaboration with them this year.
