A Dave Koster Hat-trick

For various reasons Dave's work with the following three models became some of my favorite shots:

Ruben Baars

'Ruben is my muse! I've worked with him many times. He's a bodybuilder, aged 21, and he's dating this years ladies dutch champion bodybuilder, miss Ashmara Brader. Ruben is super friendly, self-confident and intelligent. During the shoots he's very flexible, and playful. Ruben Loves to have fun showing off his muscles and he's always coming up with new ideas himself!'
Dave Koster

What I loved about Dave's shots with Ruben was how incredibly hot he looked in each and every shot, in or out of clothes. A great body of course (Dave says a behind not even Michelangelo could have imagined)but such a strong face with such intensity in his beautiful blue eyes. In his shots there is a combination of strength mixed with vulnerability

Jason King

'Jason is a personal fitness trainer (check out those abs!) and model. Recently Jason became the face of "ES Collections" underwear and swimwear in the Netherlands. ES is an upcoming European brand. I loved working with Jason because he's a very outgoing guy, lots of fun and not afraid to try new and daring things.'
Dave Koster

Like Ruben, Jason King has an strength and intensity which is front and center in each of his shots. I also love how Dave captured his form. Besides modeling, Jason is also a dancer which is clear when viewing his lines and how he positions himself in front of Dave's lens.

Déjean

'Déjean is runs a talent agency providing singers and dancers to clubs. As well as that he models and is busy launching a singing career. He has a beautiful face with a mix of European, Latin and Asian traits. And of course there's the classic Latin-type hairless body with its perfect proportions. Our shoot was sublime and creative...we talked about all sorts of things that day and really got to know each other. He's a real gentleman.'
Dave Koster

As I said in the post above, it was the last shot below (and the version above it) of Déjean that first drew my attention to the work of Dave Koster. The look in his eyes, the shape of his body and the light and color through the glass. With these things together, Dave has created truly beautiful images capturing the 'quiet beauty of the moment'.
