'The shy kid who walked into my studio in December has blossomed into a strong confident model.'
I was immediately drawn towards PR Photo's images of 20 year old Malyk when I spotted them on PR's portfolio late last year. PR always manages to capture erotically powerful images of the models he shoots, blending both their physical beauty along with a glimpse into a models inner strength and essence. Not all photographers desire, nor are able, to go beyond the body to capture what energizes a model in front of the camera and makes them tick.
Some of you may remember that I featured a sneak peak of PR's work with Malyk last Christmas, (Wrapped in Red) but I have been looking forward to showcasing more of their work together. PR and Malyk have worked together several times, most recently to shoot the black and white images included below. When I asked PR if he had any back/butt shots to include in the piece, he got back together with Malyk to shoot some additional images to include.
The inner strength and essence I mentioned is clearly evident, especially through Malyk's incredible eyes. Malyk rarely diverts his attention and focus, looking directly into PR's camera with a sexy intensity and confidence which challenges the viewer not to stare right back. Malyk looks like he's been modeling or years, and was surprised when PR shared how shy he was when they started working together last winter.
'Malyk has been so great to work with and see grow as a model over the past few months. The shy kid who walked into my studio in December has blossomed into a strong confident model with a clear vision of making it in the industry. He isn't going to let anything stand in the way of achieving his dreams. I truly believe this!'
I also especially love Malyk's hair, especially how his dreads fall over his face and eyes in some of the images. In addition to his great eyes and face, the Kalamazoo Michigan model also has a killer body, strong and athletic, yet also elegant and graceful depending on the pose. Malyk isn't only a natural in front of the camera, he also seems to really enjoy the process.
'I love modeling. This has been a rush. I love learning and finding new things about the modeling world.'
