'I’m pretty much always naked.'
Although 2021 was a difficult year for many, it ended, at least on FH, on a visual high note. I loved the New Year's eve festivities that Briancan Photography captured featuring models Sterlingjock and Cayden Clay. Like many others I'm sure, I began crushing over Cayden after seeing images of the Toronto based model that Brian had posted on his Instagram. I immediately got in touch with Brian about featuring their work together.
As luck would have it, Brian was about to shoot Cayden again, this time along fellow model Sterlingjock. I asked if they might be able to capture a few New Year's eve themed shoots, and if you saw original post and imags, (Too Early In The Game) they far surpassed my expectations! During the couples shoot, Brian also took the opportunity to shoot both models separately. These are some of my favorites from Brian's work with Cayden. Hopefully, I'll also be able to share some shots of Sterlingjock in the near future.
Whenever I interview a new model, I'm always curious about their experience and thoughts on posing nude. I like to gage a model's comfortability level, especially when it comes to how much they want to share, of both their body, and other parts of their life. Not all models are totally comfortable posing naked and sharing their images with the world. Others however, like Cayden, enjoy being naked and basking in the attention they receive from others.
'It was not a hard decision to pose naked for me. When I was 18 I had a lot of trouble with showing my body because I was taught not to show shin, but I’ve since gotten over that. I work as stripper so I’m pretty much always naked. There was a time as a contemporary dancer when I danced on stage naked with 20 other bodies and we are lucky
Ya, I mean I like being naked. And other gay men like seeing me naked! The plan at the moment is working on consistently putting out my own content. Whether nude or not, taking advantage of photographers offering to take my photo is helping me navigate my way through the realities of keeping up with a content calendar.'
Cayden was initially referred to Brian by another photographer who Cayden had previously worked with. Brian liked his look and was especially struck by Cayden's physique and incredible abs. They first worked together last summer shooting on location at the Bluffs. It was images from that shoot that I first saw last fall. These shots were taken during their second shoot this past December. The location was a rented studio in downtown Toronto.
'Cayden was comfortable right away shooting nude. I enjoyed the entire shoot but I think my favorite part was the resulting images we created. That reclining portrait with sun on his face and body was probably my favourite shot of him'
