'Rico was bright, funny and easy to work with. 'I think his personality really comes through in the work.'
As the old saying goes, if you liked Rico standing up, you should see him lying down... That was certainly the case when I was going through the dozens of images photographer Bob Burkhardt sent on. The first section featured primarily images of Rico standing, and I loved the mood Bob created with lighting and pose. I especially loved the body extension in so many of the body positions Rico held.
As I continued goring through the images, I was especially taken with the images of a recumbent Rico. The degree of sensuality was on high. I think the level of heat may even have been elevated without the frontals. Frontals can sometimes steal focus, but on in series, Rico utilizes every other part of his body, from his expressive eyes to his fingers and feet to create intensity and passion.
I was especially drawn to the many unique poses Rico created and Bob captured. Rico doesn't lie and pose on the bed, he interacts with it. On it, beside it, clutching, grabbing and holding on to the bed and sheets, just as one would... if in the heat of passion and lust.
Given the success of this collaboration, Bob is hoping to work with Rico again. Rico is on board but is currently busy with both work and school, so unfortunately, we'll have to be patient about seeing the results of a second shoot. My sense is though, it will worth the wait.
