Stocking Stuffers

Danny Reeves

'For it is in giving that we receive.'

Josh Mosier bKent 

It's that time of year for giving, bringing pleasure to another, or giving pleasure to oneself.  I used to love shopping, especially in book, music, video and drugstores.  Now.. not so much.  Today, except for a few craft fairs and local businesses I want to support, I do most of my buying on-line.

Tanner by Anthony Timiraos

If you're a lover of the male form, and I assume given you're on FH, you are, there are many gift buying options, all available to be purchased on-line. Whether for yourself, or for that special some one, most can arrive at your door before Christmas, or arrive in your in-box in just a matter of minutes.

Hoodie by Fabian Fidel Art For Doable Guys, Vol 3

Almost all of the artists and models that I feature have perfect gifts for that special someone.  Almost every artist I feature have prints for fans of their artistry, or the models they capture.  Some, like byKent and Doableguys, also have artwork and original drawings that would look incredible on your walls.

Body & Soul Two by Bob Burkhardt

When I was a kid, my favorite gifts were always books.  I may not have always appreciated them all at the time, but now that I'm older, those books, with the personal messages on the first page from much missed relatives, are truly treasured.  Most artists offer great hard and soft cover books you can wrap and give in person, or on-line digital downloads to enjoy right away.

Gordon Nebeker's Muscles and Mountains III 

Gordon Nebeker's Muscles and Mountains Three is a visual smorgasbord of lovers of the male form featuring this years Utah shoot with 801fitnessfreak, Quin, Benjamin and Jordan. (Peaks & Cheeks) I was thrilled to be able to feature Gordon, Mark and Mike's Lake Powell shoot again this year, and Gordon has compiled a great selection of images, including some very hot behind the scenes shots in the third volume.

Ash by Mark Leighton

Although each has created several books showcasing their work, FH posts featuring Mark Leighton's work with Ash, (The Journey) Anthony Timiraos expose more and Bob Burkhardt's Body & Soul Two were immensely popular with FH readers over the past year. Although I previewed each of these books over the last 12 months, they were only a taste and a tease of what lays beyond the front cover.



New Manhattan Studio's not offers private portfolios of some of your favorite models, including two (and a third on the way) of FH favorite Bond, NMS studios also has Captured Shadows, a great gift that continues to give throughout the year.  The most recent issue, Captured Shadows 5 features 124 pages of full frontal portfolios featuring 5 different models including Bond,  and the stunning Justin pictured here;



I have featured several of studioMGphotography's book releases, including Mark's most recent compilation of images featuring Jasper. (featured HERE:)   Mark has released 15 different model portfolio's including books featuring his work with FH favorites Yorgen, Bond, Andrew, Greg and the captivating and irresistible Renn. (above)

Image from Richard Rothstein 

Although I LOVE his images of the male form, I also love artist Richard Rothstein's view of New York.  Both views are available in a number of products featured on his Redbubble site HERE:



Nick Mesh is another artist not content to just make their images available for sale.  Nick has put together a virtual gift gifting buffet featuring prints, calendars, wall art, stationary, t-shirts, iphone cases and more.  Check out Nick's store HERE:


When in doubt, how about an Onlyfans subscription, I know for me, a few months of one of my favorites would be the perfect gift!  Many of the photographers and models I have featured, including Luke Gardiner, who's winter shots I showcased today, and another snow bunny, 801fitnessfreak (below) have great content you can check out for just one month, or all twelve months of the year's two seasons...
