BeglamourRED: Desi by John Mar


'I love Valentine’s Day because I’m a theme guy. You can’t spell THEME without ME.' 💕


With February 14th just a few days away, I thought it was time to start getting wrapped in red.  Red is the primary color associated with so many holidays, Christmas, Lunar New Year and of course Valentine's Day.  Regardless of whether you're single, in a couple or a throuple, everyone deserves a little luxury and beauty over the holidays.

I don't think I've seen any model looked more elegant and beglamouRED than Desi does in this series by photographer John Mar.   Unlike many men who grew up wanting to model, or were encouraged by a photographer or friend, Desi began his journey in front of the lens thanks to another influence, alcohol.  Most of us have experienced our inhibitions lowering the more we sip, and it was a little liquid courage that first motivated Desi to start shooting.


'I also want to normalize every body type while also trying to maintain a degree of professionalism. I’ve been shooting with John Mar for years and I trust him with everything John always is respectful to anything i don’t want to do while also coming up with some of the best ideas.'


'Desi has modeled for me a few times over the years. He is adventurous and always ready to have fun in the studio. He has great ideas and bring outfits to fit a mood or a theme. For our Valentines Day shoot, he arrived with the perfect red items to add that traditional look but we added a little beefcake to the boudoir.'
