Breaking the Spine 📖
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of a library.
Dávid Daniš
by Peter Plichta
Do you splay when you're reading? Relaxed, limbs stretched out, enjoying the experience of reading a good book? Slovakia based model Dávid Daniš, especially in this visual series by Peter Plichta, certainly looks comfortable, and visually devourable as he skims in just his skin. What to check out more relaxed readers? Head on over to the NEXT PAGE HERE:
The Masculine Edge: thedeftmaneuver by bywayofiker
'We weren’t trying too hard to prove anything, just capturing a natural, masculine edge'
The word 'masculine' has really gotten a workout the last few decades. It's connotations and meaning are sometimes twisted and misused to fit the narrative. In simplest terms, masculinity refers to qualities and behaviours generally associated with men and boys. The difficulty however, is that those qualities are are fluid, changing with time, with age and the individual male in focus.
Even if you can't necessarily define it, when it comes to visuals of the male form, you can often both see and feel it. It's especially noteworthy, when those pesky tropes and stereotypes aren't at play. Traditionally, many felt that 'being in control' was a core component to masculinity. Being the one in charge, and showing only strength, but not vulnerablity. The most beautiful examples of masculinity to me however, weave both strength and vulnerability.
I've been following model thedeftmaneuver for over seven years and featured his work previously on the site. (HERE:) The first images I think I remember seeing of the boundary pushing model were a series of shots by MWPhotoMD. In the series, although blindfolded, handcuffed and vulnerable, the Texas based model was never more in control.
The blend of strength and vulnerablity is also erotically evident in this series from Iker Photos, (bywayofiker) So was thedeftmaneuver's desire to push the limits, and break out from the day to day business and structure so many of us must live by in our work, and daily lives. As a hobby model, his goal is to artistically experience new and challenging aspects of life. Ones that although challenging, are safe and satisfying to explore artistically in studio.
Off the clock, I appreciate the simplicity of unfiltered, confident nudity. This shoot came together when Iker Photos came across my socials and asked if I'd be interested. We weren’t trying too hard to prove anything, just capturing a natural, masculine edge
