'Just me in a private space, sharing the most intimate moments to the audience.'
KB
One of my favorite parts of working on FH, is following the work of artists and models whose work I admire. Change is a crucial part of life, and with it art, it manifests itself visually over time. With models, it's displayed not only with their physical appearance, but in their confidence level, maturity and life changes they've experience. Over time, many models push their personal boundaries, and for many, this results in deeper, more emotionally complex visuals.
I first discovered the work of Hong Kong based model KB close to six years ago. I'd seen his images on Model Mayhem, and noticed he'd worked with several of my favorite photographers. Although KB has only been modeling for a short time, there was a intensely sensual vibe to his images that I was really drawn to. KB's ability exhibit sensuality and emotions has only intensified over time, beautifully seen in these shots from a more recent shoot with photographer Blake Yelavich. I was anxious to share more of KB's work, especially these images with Blake, and to catch up on his life in front of the lens.
You shared your love of being naked and having your youth and growth chronicled. Has this changed?
Never, I still want to continue being naked and modelling.
What has happened modeling wise since you first appeared on FH?
To be honest, Covid was the most difficult period because of travel ban and limited face-to-face activities. I didn’t do any photo shooting with overseas photographers. But because of Covid, I’ve also started doing life modelling (online and offline) in these few years. Now apart from doing photo shooting, I also enjoy being a life model, adding some drawings to my portfolio.
How did you connect with Blake Yelavich?
We followed each other's work for a while before reaching out to each other online. I thought he captured all hot models really well and I really wanted to be one of them. The shoot was done in an upscale hotel room in Hong Kong and we just used what we had. We did not bring much clothing and I worked with minimal equipment and so the shoot was very easy, and casual.
Did you discuss any concepts prior to the shoot?
I’m open to any concepts. We wanted it to be realistic but sexy and moody. He suggested that I wear minimal clothing and mainly in nude. The emotions were engaged with sex, even if if it was just me alone. Just me in a private space, sharing the most intimate moments to the audience.
Do you have any specific memories about the shoot, or favorite moments?
It was comfortable and easy to work together. Although I had some initial ideas and what I wanted to look and feel like, such as being calm and gentle, staying soft, Blake gave a lot of great directions and guided me to get in the mood and even stay erect. At a point It was very erotic…Some photos are too hot and perhaps better kept for private purposes.
