'Chad amazed me with how relaxed and professional he was. I couldn’t believe it was one of his first shoots. Such a natural!'
It was back in 2012 that I first featured the imagery of Austin photographer Dennis Nauert. I titled that first piece Precise, for a number of reasons, including the creative details and how well planned and thought out each of Dennis's captures appeared. Dennis had shared that he had only been shooting a short period of time. I was impressed at not only the visual sophistication within his imagery
Most of natures most beautiful creations, forests, oceans, fields of wild flowers, are unplanned. So many of them however, almost appear as if the the worlds most artistic landscaper had a hand in designing their creation.
Some photographers work in the moment. They choose a great model, then shoot hundreds of shots, in studio or a specific location. There isn't always a final image in mind, instead follow where the energy and creative collaboration takes them. Although Dennis works in the moment, even within the spontaneity, his creativity seems focused on the specific details he imagines in the final shots.
The lighting, the model's poses, the use of props and space, all carefully formulated to ensure Dennis gets the shots he envisioned to best showcase his model's look as well as facets of their personality. I think Dennis certainly captured the best in his work with Chad.
New to modeling, Chad was looking for new images and worked with Dennis to create some dynamic shots in the building his portfolio. I love Chad's beautifully expressive eyes and his impressive physique, highlighted by his incredibly sexy body hair. Whenever I see a model looking so naturally hot as Chad does, I'm grateful that many resist to the pressure to manscape and many photographers like Dennis, capture the beauty of the male form au naturel.
