Mazzy: Just A Couple of Things

First 3 shots by Tatiana Mia LA

'For me, modeling just started a couple of years ago.  I was doing a couples shoot and the photographer said that I had a unique look and should do more modeling.'


When I first discovered the work California based model Mazzy, I was initially drawn to his strong face, his brown eyes and beautiful lines and curves of his incredible physique.  I was also drawn to the powerful poses Mazzy created, especially in many of images from the couple shoots featured in his Model Mayhem portfolio.   


We often think of modeling as a bit of solo endeavor.  Yes, there it is creative collaboration between artist and model, but given modeling is a bit of a transient professional, working with one photographer for just a short period of time, models often go into each new shoot on their own.  When I was going through Mazzy's portfolio, I was struck both by many of the shots of Mazzy alone, and the beauty and erotic intensity within the couples shoots.

When I ask Mazzy questions about his work, and his favorite experiences in front of the camera, it was the couples shoots that he seemed to enjoy the most.  It was clear how much Mazzy enjoyed collaborating with women, not just in front of the camera with freemale models, but with female photographers as well.  I think one of the reasons I was so drawn to Mazzy's couple work was how the eroticism was so equally visualized between both models.  I think this had a lot to do with who was behind the camera.  


So many couple shoots focus on one model, one sex, with the second model used more as a prop.  In the images in Mazzy's port, both models were given equal visibility with both able to visually shine. I also loved the unique poses created by Mazzy and his partner.  They spotlighted not just their beautiful bodies, but their strength, flexibility, and most of all, the sensual connection between them.
