Bare-Faced: Alvin Banks by Bob Burkhardt


'Alvin's got a great face among his other attributes.'


When photographer Bob Burkhardt send on his work with Alvin Banks, I was glad to read in his comments a reference to Alvin's beautiful face.  Although FH is focused on the male form, specific body parts don't interest me on their own, I find myself drawn to the whole package.  Models with not just a great body, but also a great face, and a model able to use every inch of their body to connect with the viewer through the camera.


When it comes to fitness and nude modeling, there is such a focus on the body, often, ignoring that there's a face and man attached.  This is even more prevalent with models like Alvin, who also makes his living in porn.  As you can visually see, physically, Alvin has it all. A great physique, and an incredible ass and beautiful penis. For a porn star, all the main boxes are checked.


When I was going through Bob's shots however, it was Alvin's face that caught my attention.  I think especially his great mouth and smile, and his big, beautiful eyes that really drew me in, and had me spending far to too much time, choosing my favorite images.  Not to downplay his other attributes, they're certainly impressive, but most models, porn or otherwise, have impressive bodies.


I'm not sure about you, but the men I'm drawn to have something more, and in most cases, it's expressed through their eyes and their face.  It speaks to the strength Alvin excused through his beautiful eyes, that he's able to drawn draw the viewers gaze upwards, especially given all that lies below...


In addition to his photographer's application for Alvin's face and physique, Bob shares that Alvin was a delight to work with, funny and very open. They had a very successful shoot and Bob definitely plans to shoot Alvin again, hopefully for his upcoming portrait show.


'Working with Bob was really cool.  It was actually an ex, who had previously worked with Bob, that showed me how great his work was, I waited a few years and then finally get to work with him.  I was really happy that he was also excited to work with me. Bob made me feel comfortable, and didn’t rush me, but he definitely like to catch me when I was more natural. I loved the shoot and the images and had a lot of fun.'
