'Buzzing along the water in the motor boat in the nude while just cruising beneath the canyons made me feel so powerfully small compared to the nature all around me'
The creative advantage of shooting four models is the dynamic visuals that can be captured. With four beautiful forms, a more expansive architectural palette is available for the photographers creative imagination to piece together and construct. Even when the four are relaxed, or simply walking or interacting between poses, the amount of visual combinations is endless.

When the three photographers shot just two models together, there was a natural increase in erotic intimacy. Without others to interact with, there tended to be more sensuality with touch, pose and especially in eye contact. When shooting models on their own however, an entirely different feel was created.

As Benjamin stated, there is such a powerful feeling of being so small, so insignificant, yet at the same time, so apart of the incredible surroundings when your all alone within them. Without another model to interact with, there is more interaction and touch with the rocks, sands and textures of the location.

I think one of the goals of skilled photographers like Mike, Mark and Gordon when shooting a single model, is to create the feeling the model is completely isolated, a solitary man, alone on the rocks and under the vast Utah sky. You forget there is a photographer, or perhaps another model a few yards away, and feel the power

The intimacy is just as strong, or stronger without another model in the shot. The relationship is not between models, but instead between model and nature, naked skin and the feel of sand, rock and the sun beating down upon them. These sensations between the body and their surroundings are beautifully intensified when only a single solitary man is in focus.

'I loved getting to work with all three photographers especially since each one of them has a different look to their art. Every photographer has a style and all three of them have different styles, and they’re all a different style than my own work, so I was really looking forward to taking some new directions and getting their visual perspective.'
Each time Gordon, Mark and Mike send on their images from the Lake Powell shoot, I am always initially drawn to the images with multiple models. I love checking out the poses and interactions between them. When spending more time with the visuals however, and when piecing the stories together, it is most often however shots of individual models that end up being the most compelling, and leave the most lasting impact.
