With the recent election, and the results of voting on Amendment 1, it is important to remember that almost every State has struggled with certain issues. Even New York and California, generally perceived of as liberal and progressive, have struggled with laws surrounding gay marriage. North Carolina is more than last weeks vote, that is a temporary set back. Like other States, it will change, it is inevitable.
North Carolina has a rich history and breathtaking beauty, an incredible backdrop for the many artists who live and work there. Over the past year I have profiled several photographers who come from the Old North State. I have had several shots from Durham's Artistic Male in a folder for awhile. I love the artists focus on body and form with beautiful classic poses and lighting.
'I love the male form and it is my desire to express it artistically.'
Brian (Artistic Male)
Brian has been taking pictures since he got his first camera at five years old and says he has always been drawn to the male form in its various types. Brian has been shooting the male physique for about 10 years. Some of my favorite shots from his portfolio were of Mike. Usually when profiling an artist, I like to find out a bit about he model as well, but in this case Mike is going to have to remain a bit of a mystery. These beautiful images did not come from hours of planning but instead were the results of a workshop Brian took part in with other photographers. Mike was one of three models involved and each photographer had individual shoots with each the models as well as shooting them as a group.
