This shoot wasn't just a first for most of the models, it was also a first for Jim (Studio1x) The was the first the PNW photographer had brought together five models for a shoot. Getting them all together was the easy part, but wrangling them all together into frame proved an even more daunting task. Thankfully, Jim put together the perfect group of guys, and Jim shares that they were all game for what he had planned.
Given there were five hot hunks on set, all completely nude, I of course had to probe into how it all played out. Enquiring minds want to know! Thankfully, Jim and the guys were open to sharing some of their stories. Well, at least some of them anyway...
'Everyone was very comfortable but that had a lot to do with the personalities that we had that day. If you didn't know you would have thought they were all good friends and have seen each other naked many times.'
What did you think when Jim first suggested the theme and set-up for the shoot?
Diego: Surprise!
Dee. I was excited. It's a holiday so often associated with ideas and images of the most conservative notion of American family, and so any opportunity to queer it, I'm on board. (And to do it with a group of hunks, hell yes.)
Jonathan: I was definitely excited - we scheduled this to be done right after the IT shoot; I knew it was going to challenge my personal comforts and familiarity, but what a cool opportunity.
Alex: I was beyond excited to shoot again with Jim let alone on a Halloween scene. Halloween is my favorite theme next to Christmas. Thanksgiving was pretty fun as well
Had you ever posed nude with 4 other models before?
Dee. I'd never posed with other guys before.
Jonathan: Nope!
Diego: Never
Alex: I have been video taped nude with several models for a Fraternity x scene
Did having other models make you more, or less nervous?
Jonathan: Nope!
Alex: Less
Diego: More, too much in my head
Dee, The idea made me nervous, because they're all hot and I don't have the best self-esteem about my own body.
Who was the most shy?
Dee. I probably started out the most shy, but left with five new friends
Jonathan: Hmmm. Diego was confidently quiet; Dee seemed maybe the most shy at first.
Alex: I believe Diego
Diego: Me!
Who was the most open about baring it all?
Jonathan: Definitely Alex
Alex: It was between me and Kince
Diego: They were very relaxed and cool about it.
Kince: Dee was the most effervescent but Jonathan had some bites!
Who was the jokester?
Jonathan: Again, definitely Alex 😂
Alex: The photographer (Jim) mostly! But also Jonathon
Jim: They all were jokesters in their own way, each bringing their own jokes timely. I would say that Kince and Alex were the leaders in the jokes followed by Jonathan.
Were there any embarrassing moments during the shoot?
Diego: I fell on the backdrop😲
Jonathan: Of course. But i leave that up to your reader’s imaginations.
Alex: Oh there were so many and plenty enough in-between. Posing nude it’s almost impossible for me to stay soft when I got some attractive men around me
Kince: Well when a certain unnamed model’s penis became -very- erect after coming close to my ass I definitely had…thoughts. There was also one moment when I found Jonathan’s asshole within two inches of my face. Good times.
Jim: I would say that I was probably the most embarrassed out of them all in giving them direction and then seeing they actually followed them so we just went with it.
What was the most fun part of the day?
Diego: Meeting everyone
Jonathan: The whole day was awesome. It was fun, collaborative, safe and I met a group of amazing men.
Dee. What was most fun about the day--and surprising--was how kind they were and how good, how sexy, they made me feel, too Kince and I got a Blizzard at Dairy Queen on the way home, and that was a treat after the treat of laughing with naked hunks for the afternoon.
Alex: The entire shoot was the best! Jim being awesome, and I’m glad I got the meet the other models cause they all had great personalities
What was the hardest?
Diego: My own self-image insecurities but it ended up being a really cool experience.
Alex: Probably getting the angles right and finding the right poses
Jonathan: 🍗 Thanksgiving dinner. Trying to find the “vibe” and reason for this group of random dudes to have dinner together… nakedish.
Were there any worries about unexpected pop-ups?
Diego: Didn't happen for me
Kince; When you’ve modeled naked enough you rarely get them yourself.
Alex: I was aware... it naturally happened
Jonathan: Of course!
Which model surprised you the most?
Jim: I would say that Dee was the one that surprised me the most. He is a bit more shy then the rest and modeling was newer to him but he went right into with an open mind.
What was the best part of working with Jim?
Diego: He's very kind and professional
Dee. Jim is funny and makes everyone feel sexy (because everyone is sexy!). He's warmhearted and welcoming and non judgemental.
Jonathan: He is such a powerhouse with the male form. Working with him is a treat.
Kince: Jim always does great work. The best part is how he lets you play however you see fit and how he respects any boundaries you set. Plus he just knows how to pair models together.
Alex: Jim made us feel comfortable, he fed us and he gave us a helping hand in finding poses. He’s one of the greatest photographers I've worked with!
