'Most of my photoshoots are like jazz--improvisation.'
Given we're spotlighting his work with Jamal, its especially fitting that photographer Chris Free describes his work process as a jazz improvisation. Fitting, as the shoot took place last year in the birthplace of jazz. Although Chris resides in Chicago, he reached out to several models before traveling to New Orleans last year. Jamal ended up being one of the best and most reliable models, leading Chris to set up several follow-up shoots to capture other looks and themes.
'I start by getting to know the model a bit--what makes them tick, why they desire to do a sensuous photoshoot that may include nudity. Then I assess their physical attributes by watching them move from various angles. Then, finally, I try to see how I can use the environment around us to give context to photos that draw attention to them. I like my photos to draw attention to the model, not the photograph.'
When Chris sent on his work with Jamal, some of my favorites were the shots of Jamal strolling completely naked along Bourbon St. If you've check out my previous features spotlighting Chris' work, you know he often shoots models strolling naked in a variety of beautiful locations. Chris has utilized museums, beaches, sand dunes, old abandoned buildings and the grounds of a luxury hotel. Jamal strolling down Bourbon St. is certainly is one the most visually erotic.
In part, the eroticism stems from our perceptions of Bourbon St., and the visuals of the area we're used to seeing. We usually see the street filled with hundreds of people, partying and celebrating. During Jamal's evening stroll, the usually busy street was eerily quiet. The shoot took place at the height of New Orleans pandemic shutdown last spring.
Chris and Jamel planned the shoot for 10pm and Chris reports the streets were deserted. It was so quiet, that Jamal even walked onto several front porches, posing in front of people's front doors. Although no one turned on their outside lights or opened the doors, I'm guessing there may have been a few eyes peeking out from behind the curtains...
'Jamal is striking in many ways, but the physical attributes that always get my attention are his beautiful locs, his sculpted, fit, but not over developed body, his grand dick, beautiful ass and legs. Can't get enough of any of these. He's fun and fun-loving and wants to exude sexiness and playfulness. He really sells his sexiness in every post. It flows very easily. He loves to be naked and sexual. '
Of course every long walk builds up a sweat, so after strolling the streets, as shower was in order. You can see much more of Jamal's sexy shower, and much more of Chris Free's work with other models on his Patreon Page HERE:
