'Sunlight, too, we envy. It effortlessly caresses every exposed inch of Roy Stagg's mouth-watering musculature: Bestriding thighs so mighty, they conjure up visions of the Colossus of Rhodes; a fleshy backside that invites some sort of touch or probe; biceps whose rounded contours glisten invitingly.'
This past Sunday, when featuring men from Colt's Olympus magazine, (HERE:) there was one muscular hottie I decided to leave out. Not because he wasn't a favorite, but because I wanted to feature more images, and spotlight on him on his won. A quick glance at Adonis Roy Stagg gives you an idea why.
Solid Waste:
Don’t be a punk! Recycle your junk!
People don't necessarily think of garbage as sexy, but garbage men certainly can be! The garbage industry has become so much more than trash. Going green means that in many places, the science of recycling has become an intracule part of waste management.
I remember when I got my first apartment. My small balcony was attached to the couple who lived next door. I worked nights, and was often home during the day and noticed they spent every afternoon soaking up the sun on their balcony.
Over time I got to know them a little and learned that she was a waitress and he was a garbage man. He loved his job. Although he had a general arts degree from college, he said he wouldn't leave his job for anything. He worked 6a.m to 2p.m, Tuesday through Friday. This meant his weekends started shortly after lunch on Fridays and didn't end until early Tuesday morning.
He also shared that because of how physical his job was, he never had to exercise or go to the gym. It paid off as he was occasionally shirtless when it was really hot and humid. His girlfriend switched from dinner, to breakfast shifts so they were both home in the afternoons and evenings. He ended up moving out after she found out he was cheating, but most of the relationships we have in our twenties end up as trash.

How do you find models?
'My series of art nudes and portraits features the guys who have really inspired me as a photographer.'
Every successful collaboration, whether it be social or professional, is based in relationship. Many connect the word 'relationship' with those they're close to. Whenever however, we interact with anyone, even momentarily, a relationship is formed. We have relationships with our mail person, our food delivery drivers, the cashier we see regularly at the grocery store. Some of these people make us smile, some we chat with, some we try our best to ignore.
When it comes to art, creative collaborations are also based on relationship. Many photographers are inspired by the men they shoot and models becomes a muse. We tend to think of a artist/muse relationship as an ongoing, long term relationship, but sometimes... it occurs in the moment and can develop in just one or two shoots.
When I first featured Mark from The Male Muse last Autumn, I spotlighted Mark's work with just one model, Garrett. (HERE:) Since that post, Mark's been busy shooting models in California, looking to get in as many shoots in as possible before a move to Spain. Although Mark is looking forward to the next chapter, and working with male models in Europe, the men included here were all shot in Los Angeles before the move.
Although you can't predict the success of a creative collaboration until you're actually in the studio, there are things Mark looks for when choosing a model to work with. In addition to their look, Mark shares his process for finding and choosing models to create with. .
Model Mayhem and AdultFolio have always been my go to sources, but now Instagram and referrals from other models are how I connect with a lot of new guys.
What are the main reasons you reach out? Their look, location, other?
If a guy has ´that certain something´ about their look that really makes me want to explore capturing that on camera, I will reach out. With Alexander it was his rugged good looks and hairy body, with Antonio it was his youthful looks and amazing tattoos. I loved Devin's shaggy hair and great smile and Gui had incredibly sexy bedroom eyes. I loved Isaiah's bright smile and lean yoga body and Oli had an edgy alternative look that I really wanted to capture.

Do the models you contact all have to be open to posing fully nude?
No not at all. When I reach out to a model I explain that I´m interested in shooting them at any level, clothed, underwear, implied or full nude. Whatever they are comfortable with.
What is your method for reaching out? Do many models often reach out to you?
I always send out a brief email introducing myself and what I´m looking for with a link to my work. Yes, these days I often get models applying through my site and social media.
How much conversation/communication do you have prior to a shoot?
For me it´s important to have at least one phone conversation before a shoot to get a vibe for each other. Communicating more via text after the call, to really solidify ideas, is always ideal.
How much conversation/communication do you have about concepts/themes/nudity required?
It´s different for every guy I suppose. I like to stay fairly loose and open about concepts/themes for most shoots until the day of, unless the model and I have planned ahead for something very specific we want to achieve together. If the model agrees to do a shoot that leans more erotic, that takes a lot more discussion to see where his boundaries are.
Are you open to a model's requests/boundaries?
Always. It´s very important to completely understand a model´s boundaries before a shoot so they feel 100% comfortable. I never want to make a guy uncomfortable.
Have you ever decided to not go forward after reaching out to a model?
I have postponed a few shoots because the model completely altered their appearance in some way, like changed their hair color, shaved all their body hair or pubes, etc.
The men featured in this piece are all from recent shoots taken over the last several months You can check out a bit more of your favorites on Mark's main site THE MALE MUSE, or check a lot more on Mark's JustForFans site HERE:
