'I've always been proud of my body, so I was never really shy about showing it off. So naturally when people asked if being naked was okay, I was totally at ease.'
What better way to star a new year, than by featuring a brand new model. A model so new, he hasn't yet had the opportunity to step in front of the lens of a professional photographer. Milwaukee's Anthony Fluder is so new modeling in fact, he was worried his lack of experience, and of quality images, might be a deterrent to a FH appearance.
Anthony needn't of worried, I loved his look and the shots that he sent on, as well as the ones I saw on his Model Mayhem profile. Most were taken on Anthony's phone, by either himself or a friend, but they did a great job showcasing his great body and handsome face, especially his beautiful blue eyes.
It was actually Anthony's boyfriend who inspired and encouraged him to give modeling a try.
Last month, Anthony joined Model Mayhem, excited to get started and to make some new connections. He headed straight to the high diving board, submitting some shots into the site's male 18+ pic of the day contest. It was there, that I first saw, and was drawn to one of his images. I was interested to find out what motivated to have him get started, and what he loves about being in front of the camera. Anthony graciously answered my questions, sharing his experiences thus far.
I know you're just starting, but have you had a favorite modeling moment?
That's a tough one. I think it was the time I was at the beach sunbathing nude. All these guys kept asking for my picture. I think that was when everything clicked.
What has been your experience on MM been like?
So far my experiences, though few, have been really chill, but once I submitted for "Pic of the Day" I had A LOT of people reach out. Felt good! So far everyone has been really kind and supportive. Nothing odd or out of the ordinary. I haven't started any shoots yet, but that might change when I finally get new pictures taken.
What feature or part of your body are you most happy with?
Hmm, I would say my eyes. I feel like they are the most expressive part of my face.
What factors did you weigh before deciding to model naked?
Hmm, I was worried at first about some people finding out, but then I realized God made me this way and I shouldn't be afraid of showing what he gifted me. My family as of now doesn't really know I enjoy this, so that mountain will be climbed at a later date. My boyfriend though has been super supportive of me. Also, I think he enjoys watching haha!
Any photographers on your list that you want to work with?
Gosh there are waaay too many! I would one day love to work with Mark Henderson or someone like that!
Would you ever consider a couple shoot?
As of now, I am only comfortable doing solo shoots and with my boyfriend watching for support.
Where would you like modeling to take you?
I would love to make money one day, who wouldn't?! But for now I am just exploring where this might take me.
Any dream scenarios for a shoot?
Hmm...I love the water! So maybe something by the pool or in the shower. Wearing white and letting the water slowly get soaked into the fabric, would be beautiful!
Why do you think you enjoy modeling?
I've always enjoyed photography and I've always enjoyed fiddling with a camera. So it's nice to try and be on this side of things.
