'I want to create art with you as the subject. I want to make you look better than you’ve ever looked. I want to help you overcome any insecurities you might have so you can always be ready to seize the day.'
Art is all about connection. The connection created the instant you see a visual that piques your interest. So many of the visuals I feature on the site are images that immediately grabbed my attention. In a virtual world now full of visuals of the male form, it's a challenge to stand out. The artists and models I spotlight not only created images that not only caught my eye, but sparked my curiosity, leading me to want to see and learn more.
That was certainly the case the first time I saw the work of Todd Paris, the artist behind Echo T Photography. I'd seen a few images from the Los Angeles based photographer on-line and felt that instant moment of connection. I then headed straight to Model Mayhem to search for his profile and check out more from his port.
I loved the way Paris so cleanly yet so elegantly captured the models in front of his lens. The connection I felt was of course to the beautiful bodies for sure, but also to the beauty of tranquility that was also so gorgeously present. That connection was even further intensified by the connection the models had with the camera. In so many of Paris' images, the models were looking directly at the camera, their gaze passing through, connecting directly with the viewer.
Great images not only spark one's curiosity, they also stimulate the imagination. The visuals, and in this case also the models, welcome the viewer to use what they're seeing to trigger their imagination to create their own unique fantasies and day dreams.
This year, Paris assembled over 100 of his favorite images and imagination stimulators. with the release Day Dreaming, his new photo collection. With over 160 pages to enjoy, Paris' uses a expertly compiled repertoire of skills in the creation of his visuals. In addition to dramatic lighting, classic, elegant poses and color, he also brings together a diverse group of models to ensure your imagination is both rapidly and erotically ignited.
'Day Dreaming” opens the door to a world where naked bodies become works of art. Young men show themselves with all of their strength, beauty and vulnerability. They invite us into a dialogue about dreams and desires, becoming one with the artistic vision of photographer Todd Paris. His images are radiant compositions made of bodies, gestures, color and light: hymns to beauty.'
