'It's not an explicit shoot but a relaxed male nudity vibe with two beautiful men who clearly had a connection.'
I know many of you are familiar with the work of Sydney based photographer Brenton Parry. Long time FH readers may remember my featuring Brenton's work many times in the past. (HERE:) Many I'm sure, also remember Brenton's old blog Aussielicious. I still miss Aussielicious, not just because of it's content, but because it was one of several sites that inspired me to create FH.
Although I still miss his blog, the end meant Brenton was able to focus more on his passion for capturing the male form. I've continued to enjoy seeing what Brenton visually creates on his social media pages, as well as sites that allow him to show his more explicit work without those nasty social media censors.
I was thinking about Brenton this past summer while I put together a piece on Australian lifesavers and rowers. (On Duty) As a former rower himself, Brenton has worn the tiny speedos, and also, what a tough sport it can be. I think it was Brenton and Aussielicious that first introduced me to the hot and hunky Australian rowers, and the unique way they wore their speedos while rowing....
When I recently asked Brenton about sharing another shoot, he sent back this set, one the his favorites. It instantly became one of my favorites as well. I've written many times about my struggles with photos featuring two or more men. Most, tend to go for the sexual elements, which is great. I just find many of them quite one-dimensional, ignoring the more multi-faceted and and complex dynamics between two or more men.
My favorite 'couple' shoots are sensual, but not necessarily sexual. Most of the images of the nude male form I feature on the site are rooted in sensuality, but to me, not necessarily in sex. Now I know that beauty, and of course sex, are in the eye of the beholder, so almost any visual, regardless of how tame or explicit they may be, can be sexualized. I however, prefer images of couples to rooted in an emotional bond, and in the case of Brenton's work with Sam and Robbie, in connection.
Brenton, as I stated above, describes this duo shoot as one of his favorites. The two men are Sydney model and digital creator Sam Holister, and New Zealand Olympic Rower Robbie Manson. Although Sam and Robbie had met briefly previously, this was their first shoot together. Brenton shares that the day of the shoot also happened to be Sam's birthday, and that Sam really seemed to really enjoy his day and getting to work with Robbie.
'Working with guys who have very different approaches to shoots was fun. Sam likes to be more spontaneous and less posed where I think Robbie likes a bit more direction so striking a balance between just letting them do their thing while giving them prompts and asking them to do things again to get the shots was a great challenge for me.
This was also one of the first shoots I was specifically shooting a lot of video content on and I have to say that video is something I'm very proud of. It's not an explicit shoot but a relaxed male nudity vibe with two beautiful men who clearly had a connection.'
If you want to see more of Sam, and much more of Robbie, you can check out more from this shoot on Brenton's OnlyFans and Patreon Sites. There's also the video Brenton mentioned that you can preview by checking out Brenton's Youtube page HERE:
