'Zmari was something from the first moment I met him...'
Whenever I'm featuring a nude shoot, especially a model shooting naked for the very first time, I'm always curious as to what? What made them decide to shoot nude, what factors when into this decision, and how they felt in the days and hours leading up to their planned exposure. It's always fascinating then, to find out a models decision to take it all off for the camera, wasn't planned, but instead a spur of the moment decision.
It all began in Russia, well sort of. Missouri photographer JW Johnson had never seen, nor heard of Zmari before the day of their shoot. JW had actually been talking with Zmari's boyfriend about shooting, a Russian student who was studying and attending college in the United States. The Russian student was interested in getting into modeling and came down to JW's studio for a test shoot.
Thankfully, he brought Zmari along for the shoot, and as soon as JW saw him, he knew Zmari was much hotter, and would photograph much better, than the guy the shoot was planned for. In addition, the model set to shoot, had misrepresented himself, and had sent JW photos of another guy in order to secure the test shoot...
Zmair and JW formed a connection, and when his boyfriend was called away, JW took advantage of the opportunity presented and asked Zmari if he'd like to model. Although Russian as well, Zmari's look is a blend of his Russian and Middle Eastern heritage which blend to provide Zmari with his beautiful skin, distinctive features and sultry brown eyes.
JW loved working with Zmari, and describes him as a natural in front of the camera, not to mention one of the sweetest guys he's ever worked with. After their first shoot back in 2013, they worked together twice more over the next several years. A few months after that first shoot, JW invited Zmari down to one of my favorite locations, his friend's farm, and like the first time, Zmari exceeded JW's exceptions with his skill and flexibility with creating some incredibly sexy poses.
I personally couldn't keep my eyes off Zmari's torso and incredibly hot stomach. Long, lean, and incredibly fit, Zmari's torso is sculpted to perfection, JW encouraged Zmari to have fun in on the farm, shooting in various locations around the grounds which provided Zmari so many great places and props to play with and beautifully show off his incredible body.
In one of their last shoots, JW was doing a group shoot with three models, and a couple of his photographer colleagues. Zmari was definitely a stand out and was usually front and center during the shoot, including one of the set-ups which had the three naked models washing JW's car late in the shoot. Sly of JW to include a concept which not only included three hot naked models getting wet, but with the added bonus of getting his truck sparkling clean!
