Cabin Fever: Rick by AANE Photography & THOM Graphophoton


All you need is love...and a cabin


When I featured AANE Photography's images last month, I focused on Rick cooling off with his skinny dip in the creek. (HERE:) But... there were a few more shots I stashed away of Rick at the cabin. With memorial day coming at month's end, many who are lucky enough to own, or maybe rent a cabin, are thinking of getting it ready for the season.  Although summer is still weeks away, between the cabin's rough wood, and Rick's hard, it can't come soon enough.



Nalgas Bonitas by Zedneram Imagery


'In short, beauty is Otherness. Yet, beauty is also Self. And Self begins with you. As both Self and Other, we are all beautiful together.'


Self has always been a theme of FH and I love the quote on Zedneram Imagery's website. Knowing self is something many of us struggle, some.... our entire lives. Having a strong sense of self isn't about what we do, or even who we are, it's more the degree of communication between our mind and what our bodies experience. Many people feel things, but don't take to the time to think about why. Someone with a healthy sense of self isn't perfect by any means, but they usually know why they do what they do, and are able to identify and understand the emotions they're feeling. Self is internal, it's not about others, it's our ability to choose and to interrupt our experiences and emotions.


So why with this bevy of incredible images of ass am I discussing self? Well... let's start with the artist. I have loved Desi's (Zedneram) images for awhile and some of you may remember my piece featuring the California artist and musician's work with Tim back in 2010. (HERE:) I have the electricity Desi captures, movement and an erotic intensity blended into energized images. The moments Desi captures are never static, their unstable, demanding more from the view than just a casual glance.


The instability Desi creates is done with intent, not awkward but with a rhythm a flow from his training as a dancer and choreographer and his second (or third) career as a recording artist. Desi’s vision for Zedneram Imagery captures the mind, as well as the eye: to provide ALL people – artistic, powerful, vibrant, and colorful, alike – with opportunities in popular media. In his eyes, there is beauty in everything and everyone.


Even when the focus is the male behind, you can feel the energy in Desi's shots. So many photographer shoot the backside like a lump of clay, just sort of sitting (or standing) there. Through design, fashion, jewellery and pose, Desi's focus goes beyond the buttocks, to the entire man, pulling in pieces of their essence and personality. Maybe more than drawing in aspects of the models self, you can fully feel the aura of Desi's self coming though strongly and loudly in the final dynamic images.


Whenever I profile an artist I admire, I am full of questions about process. What got them started, and any interesting stories about their time behind the lens. When it comes to shooting nudes, there are always stories. I through at Desi a list of questions, rapid fire' style, looking for one word, or short answers on a wide range of subjects.
