The Russians Are Coming: Alexey Garamov by Gemini Men


I first featured the work of Mark Gemini last December with two pieces featuring the ultra hot Link. I featured Mark's shots the Florida model outside (Treasure Island) and in the studio for a Christmas themed shoot. (Christmas Countdown) Link's raw sexuality, and All American Southern charm makes him a perfect, and very popular, Gemini model.


While visiting Model Mayhem recently, I recently came upon another hot blonde and quickly recognized I had stumped upon the port of another model from Gemini Men. From his portfolio and the images of him fishing, not to mention his camouflage ball cap and ripped jeans, I assumed I had found another Southern hottie that Mark had shot. After double checking his credit, I realized that although he may live Florida, Garamov is not a common Southern last name...


Born in Siberia Russia, 21 year old Alexey Garamov, along with his brother Vlad were left orphans as children after their parents died. The both lived in a Russian orphanage for about 8 years before being adopted by a family in America. Although Alexey is a bit more 'Americanized' of the two, (Vlad still has his Russian accent) they have both developed a strong work ethic.


When they begin a task, they finish it it, without a word a gripe or word of complaint. Given their backgrounds, they have learned to be grateful for the smallest of things. When photographer Mark Gemini set them up in a hotel for their shoot, they were overwhelmed by their surroundings, and said they felt like they were staying in a palace.


Mark has an amazing talent at finding super hot guys for his site and for his films. Being a photographer, he is also able to create incredible images to promote his models and his site. Alexey's has a hot body for sure, but it is his face, and those beautiful blue eyes that first drew my attention. Mark adds that Alexey also has great skin and hair, and through their many shoots together, has also experienced what a great guy he is to work with.


Alexey thrives off working, and loves being around creative people as they work. Given how he grew up, Alexey considers every shoot an exciting adventure, and looks forward to gaining experience in front of the camera and ultimately taking on a role in the creation process.
