A Polar Push-Back: Juan by Mount Photography


'The Light of Winter is the Poetry of Patience.'


With the Polar Vortex taking hold in much of the US and Canada, I thought it was time for a little push-back.  FH began the month, and the year, by virtually traveling to Spain and featuring Mark Montovio's (Mount Photography) images of Kike. (An Estepona Escape)  With the dangerously frigid temperatures outside, I thought a return to Spain, and more of Mark's work, was the perfect way to turn up the heat and bookend the bleakest month of the year.


Although our earlier visit to Estepona featured Mark's work outside on the beach, the temperature is still on the rise inside a Barcelona hotel room with Mark's images with Juan.  In addition to  his sizzling body, Juan has such a beautiful, welcoming face.  Juan exudes a powerful sensuality and his dark sexy eyes, and those come-hither looks, have me wanting to check out flight prices to Spain.


Juan is originally from Brazil, but is currently living and working in Madrid.  Mark first met Juan in Southern Spain and they exchanged numbers and talked of possibly working together down the road.  While traveling to Barcelona last year, Mark ran into Juan by chance, and arranged a shoot.


'The shoot again was unplanned, took place in a hotel room, and was over in an hour.  I found Juan to have an incredibly striking face and a natural given he had never done a shoot this before/ It was a pleasure shooting and also a pleasure receiving Juan's feedback.'
