TR Pics: FaVorites
'Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.'
George R.R. Martin
Although individual artists have their own specific goals when shooting, I believe there are a few things, most photographers of male form have in common. Most artists use their skills to capture something they find visually stimulating and beautiful. The goal, to trigger a reaction, hopefully something both enjoyable and unique from the viewer.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the best artists, know better. They know, with the right image, almost any eye can be tempted and drawn towards the beauty they capture. How often have you seen an image of a model, and although at first glance they don't fit your usual definition of beauty. But there is just something about the image, the model, the emotion captured, that his you redefining and expanding your spectrum of beauty.
I hesitate to use the word diversity, as it's far more complicated. Diversity has become a series of words, corrupted by politicians, the racist in the White House the main offender, but he isn't alone. Diversity to me is simply about variety, and if you're truly living a full life, you know variety is key.
Unfortunately, so many artists continue to put limits and barriers on beauty. For some photographers the limits are about age, you know the ones, who rarely shoot anyone under 21 or 22. For some it's about body type, they shoot only skinny guys, only muscled hunks, only tall men. For others it's race, or hair color, hair length, it's about body hair, rock hard abs or penis size. I know in part, these limits are connected to media, and what they feel their audiences want, but to manipulate a line from Field of Dreams, if you see it, they will come, or cum, if that's a part of your goal.
Tom Rubeck is truly limitless in his personal spectrum of beauty. He's beauty in all men, even when they don't see it themselves. If you've checked out any of my previous pieces featuring Tom's imagery, (Quaternate) you'll know that in addition to his visuals, it's also the stories. Some see's, then captures the beauty of Wolfgang's body hair, the beauty in Rohan's alter ego, the lyrical flow of Sunel's movements, the muscles on some men, the lack thereof on others.
Working on FH now for over a decade, it's variety that keeps me working and writing. When Tom sends on a shoot for a feature, I have no idea what's flying into my inbox, there is no past pattern other than whomever Tom shoots, he will key into something beautiful, something erotic, something raw and unique.
When narrowing down favorites to celebrate TR Pic's ten years of shoots, I only managed to wiggle them images down to about sixty.... so there are many more favorites, many more looks, themes and definitions of beauty to come!
The Men of Big Little Lies
Jeffrey Nordling (with Camryn Manheim in Love Hurts)
With the exception of James Tupper, all of the main supporting cast male cast members of Big Little Lies have dropped trou for projects prior to joining the HBO drama. Some, like Alexander Skarsgård and James Nordling (below) have even lost their pants on the show. It was interesting deciding on my favorite nude scenes. Although some, like Skarsgård and Adam Scott have done numerous nude scenes, for the most part, my favorites ended up being the first time I saw them sans pants on screen.
I first noticed actor Jeffrey Nordling (Gordon Klein) when he played one of the hot daddies on the ABC drama Once & Again. I never watched the show when it aired, but loved Billy Campbell and devoured the show on DVD. Other than his brief butt flash on BBL, I believe Nordling's on nude scene was in the 1993 TV movie, And The Band Played On. The EMMY winning film featured an all star cast in TV movie and focused on the early days of the AIDS epidemic.
And The Band Played On (1993)
Alexander Skarsgård
So Alexander Skarsgård has done dozens of nude scenes, including his frontal in the last season of True Blood. I first saw Alexander just before he put in his fangs starting the HBO min-series Generation Kill. Although the nude scene is not meant to be sexy, it was my first view of the Vampire ass I would soon come to covet.
Generation Kill
Adam Scott
Now Adam Scott (Ed Mackenzie) has been naked a lot on screen, most notably, his numerous nude scenes in the short lived one season of the HBO show Tell Me You Love Me. (2007) With so many nude scenes to go through, Scott might be a great candidate for a future outing of Actors & Skin..
Tell Me You Love Me (2007)
Although I believe there's a brief frontal in the first episode, there was a prosthetic used in the scene where Adam gets a hand job. (below)
Douglas Smith
I've loved me some Douglas Smith since first seeing his adorable backside on HBO's Big Love. Although Douglas played a teenager, he had actually just turned 21 before the series debut. Douglas has also had a couple of nude scenes on screen including the 2013 film, The Boy Who Smelled Like Fish. (HERE:) With just one episode left, it doesn't look like BBL's is going to give more of Douglas's derriere, but I'm sure the talented actor will have many roles and opportunities in his future.
Big Love (2006)
