You may be wondering why photographer Tom Nakielski was probing through his archives looking for images of butts. Well, it's a bit of a running joke between the Michigan based photographer and myself.
FH readers are aware how much I love featuring Tom's work, especially around the holidays. For awhile however, whenever Tom sent on a shoot, he often got the same annoying question in response.
'Did you take any butt shots?'
It's not that I didn't love what Tom sent on, but every photographer has their own artistic view. Tom's view was focused so much on any specific body part, but the beauty of the male form in it's entirety. Tom often captures classic physique poses, which were often front and side views and poses, taking in the models entire physique. Tom wasn't resistant to including back and butt views, they just weren't so much of a priority. As you can see from this series however, when he does, the results are erotically dramatic.

When it comes to the male form in art, I'm a butt man for sure. I'm not however, really an
ass man, and believe there's a clear difference. I love seeing the shape of the male form, and believe a model feature isn't complete unless every angle of their physique is revealed. I'm not however into images of models spreading their cheeks for colonoscopy scope views. The male form is what can be seen on the outside, and why most photographers don't ask models to open their mouths for get a great view of their tonsils....

I grew up mostly seeing shots of women in my mothers magazines, and I loved the poses and curves. If shot skillfully, the male butt and back have the most beautiful lines and curves. I love the male form in it's entirety, and the back and side view are two of my favorite views. I know butt shots can sometimes be gratuitous, but I believe in most cases, that's more about the photographer's focus and motive.

When the butt is viewed and photographed like any other body part, the face, the chest, the abs, the legs, there are so many incredible poses and curves that can only be captured with a view to the rear.

'I went through all my models images searching for butts. To my surprise I had a lot more than I anticipated. The nice thing about butt shots is that a lot of models don't want to do full frontal but are willing to do implied nudes and full on butt shots. I put together a wide variety of shots. Some pin-up , some figure study, some cheeky (couldn't resist the pun), some classic and some hardcore.'
