The whisper of strangers
Intimate strangers
Caressing thoughts
as they turn the lights down low
To soft to show
To close to know
Suzi Quatro
If you ask most people what an intimate moment is, may will bring up sex. Sex can be intimate, but many of us have experienced sexual interactions cold and distant, the opposite of what intimacy and connection are really about. Many of us have also experience an intimate moment with a stranger. A brush of arm as you pass someone getting into an elevator. That brush may be nothing, or may ping down and through every inch of your body as elevator beings to rise.
Intimacy is often situational, and can overcome you when you least expect it. It;s tradition in many movies for two masked strangers to meet on the dance floor. They fall instantly into a deep cloud of passion while held close and dancing with a perfect stranger. The intimacy stems from self confidence and a willingness to take a risk to fall for whomever might be behind the mask.
What Jim (Studio1x) found so wonderful about working with Wesley was the changes he saw in him through their work together. When they first began working together, Wesley had been going through some life changing events. By taking the risk, and through the experience of doing nude shoots, Wesley discovered his self confidence, his empowerment and realized his self-worth again.
'Not only did we create beautiful art, but by doing these types of shoots, Wesley rediscovered who he was and that is more then any photographer can ask for. To see where Wesley stands today is very heart warming.'
Although I loved the more Halloween themed mask in the first set, I think Wesley looks especially hot in the red cape and the second mask which shows more of his beautiful eyes and face. Given the changes Wesley experienced throughout the course of shooting, Jim asked him to share a few thoughts about his experience with the process.
What made you decide to get into modeling?
Wanted to try something I have always wanted to do but never had the courage to actually do it.
What were your thoughts about posing nude?
What I was doing is to me was art, not sexual. It didn't bother me, or make me feel at all uncomfortable.
What made you decide to do these type of photos?
I Wanted to try something new and exciting.
What were your feelings before and after the shoot?
I felt very comfortable, but it was a little awkward at first. You can tell when I would get more comfortable.
Would you recommend others do these type of themes and shoots?
Yes I would because it makes you feel sexy about your body and who you are as a person.
