'Taking nude pictures of each other there became our way of paying tribute to the beauty of the place and the experience.'
One of my favorite parts of working on FH, is the virtual, and visual vacations I get to experience thanks to the models and artists I follow. FH has traveled across the globe featuring models, photographers and shoots taken on each of the world's seven continents. In many cases, the locations are new to me, and so many are on my bucket list of places I hope one day to visit.
Through his work, artist and model Stephan Tobias has taken me to some of the most breathtaking places that I've been fortunate to feature and learn about. As both photographer and model, FH has joined Stephan to various lakes, museums and factories in Berlin, the Castello Lighthouse, the Italian Island of Ischia and the stunning coastline along the Gulf of Finland.
Today, Stephan invites us to join him during a trip to visit one of his friends in Langkawi. Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah is an island part of a cluster and chain of over 100 islands located about 30 km off the coast of northwestern Malaysia. Some of the islands in the cluster are only visible when it's low tide in the Strait of Malacca.
Stephan's friends was house sitting a recently built brand new villa on the island of Langkawi. Given the stunning visuals behind and surrounding Stephan's stunning form, it's easy to understand why the island is one of Malaysia's prime tourist destinations.
'The owners had chosen a wonderful place for their new property, close to the jungle and overlooking a small bay on the east coast of the island. Highlight of it all for me was the pool and the terrace around it, which offered a charming view and a nice place for relaxing at all times of the day and night in wonderful tropical conditions. '
In addition to the breathtaking visuals, you can almost feel the sense of calm and tranquility in the location. You can also feel both the heat from the sun, and the rush of coolness when Stephan dives into the villa's pool to cool off. These shots were taken by Stephan's friend, and each took turns shooting the other during their time together. Stephan did send on a few shots of his friend, but he's a little shy and preferred to remain on the sidelines, at least for now...
'This charming spot, in spite of our many beautiful other island explorations, became the center of the universe for me during this stay of 10 days. We could hang around nude there too, with exception of some daytime hours, when local workers were pursuing the completion of two side buildings.'
