'I’m loving this apartment series. I guess it’s sort of like christening a new ship….the Therapy experience has encouraged me to experiment with a limited location…and exploring different ways to tell a story in my apartment is stretching my creativity and my imagination.'
Since moving into his new apartment last September, photographer Richard Rothstein has enlisted an impressive bevy of task rabbits to help him pull everything together. From moving furniture, hanging pictures, planning his housewarming and Christmas prep, there are always things that require a naked body to help get done.
FH readers are keenly aware of my love the use of windows and doors with imagery of the male form and for this series, Richard became a little reflective while shooting the iridescently beautiful Sergey. Although Richard's goal may have been to have Sergey clean his mirrors and windows, the New York artist and model's sensual poses more likely just ended up fogging the glass, requiring even more cleaning. I just hope given all the skin on display that he was careful when spraying that Windex around...
Originally from Ukraine Sergey's shatteringly hot poses and moves come from his experiences as an actor and dancer. I love how Sergey moves around the space and on and over Richard's furniture. Sergey reminds me of a frisky feline, limber, rhythmic and despite the glass, undaunted by any eyes that may lay upon him. Sergey is one pet you definitely don't mind jumping up on the furniture.
I especially love the shots of Sergey pressing his body against the windows and the way Richard used light and show to silhouette the lines and curves of his body. This shoot pulls together images from Sergey's first visit to Richard's apartment, but this visit was just the start of he and Richard's work together. Look for the second part, and an additional element added to the shooting process, which is coming up shortly on FH.
