'Ricardo is just about the most popular model on my website.'
The holidays are a time to s spend with old friends, and Wes from New Manhattan Studios is certainly an old friend and long time contributor to FH. I've been featuring Wes' artistry, and dozens of the studio's models since 2012. In those first few years of spotlighting the studio's work, two models were certainly in the forefront, sharing and baring more than any other models that Wes had worked with.
I know many of you enjoyed the many posts featuring models Bond Brown and Alex Corso. I had the pleasure of featuring them multiple times, and some long time readers may remember Alex not only modeled for Wes, but also worked as an assistant, and then a photographer for NMS. Even if Alex wasn't the spotlighted model, he was often seen the background, aiding, assisting and adjusting the props and minimal fashion pieces Wes incorporated within the shoot.
Some FH readers may also remember that Alex's younger brother Ricardo, also joined the family business, working with Wes and his older brother, with multiple modeling shoots of his own. I featured the studio's work with Ricard several times between 2014 and 2016, and if you look back on those older posts, (HERE:) you'll see that Ricardo looks hotter than ever. It's clear that Ricardo takes exceptional care with his body, and has grown even stronger and confident in front of the lens.
Wes has assembled many collections featuring the studio's work with Ricardo, but one of the most recent, Madison Avenue Loft, is definitely one of my favorites. Given the loft in question, was in the middle of renovations, it made perfect sense for Ricardo to take on the role of a hot, hunky construction worker. It wasn't hard for the New York based model, who in real life works as a carpenter. One certainly didn't need any special tradesmen's tool or device to find the stud in this workspace, he was right there, stripping down and ready to get to work.
'I've shot several models in the loft space over the years, and Ricardo was perfect for the moment. At the time of the session, the loft was being redesigned and rebuilt, from the home of an interior designer to that of an art collector. Amid the chaos of the renovation, Ricardo fit the scene like no other model could have. He is, in real life, a carpenter and construction worker whose company specializes in home and office renovations. He wore his own work clothes and wielded the "props" like the pro he was.'
I love photo essays, as they generally focus on the best, and the hottest shots of a particular model. I've featured many of New Manhattan Studio's photo essays over the years, I think Madison Avenue is one of my favorites. Ricardo looks incredible, and Wes and assistant Logan Hart, capture every tantalizing and toned inch of his magnificent physique.
Photo essays also make great gifts, and are instantly available to download and enjoy. Wes also ensures his photo essay's are reasonably priced, with Madison Avenue Loft available at just $6.95. Wes also created a special coupon for FH readers! Just enter RICARDO2025 at checkout, they'll get 25% off the publication!
'Having been shooting him for 12 years, I remain astounded at how much more popular Ricardo has become as he ages. Of course, the maturing physique has a lot to do with it. He's never looked better and possibly possesses the most powerful physiques in the studio's portfolio. It's on my list to create a retrospect of his work over the past decade. I've shot a only a small number of models over such a length of time.'
Most of you know how much I love behind the scenes shots and Wes never fails to provide some great ones. In these two shots, Wes captures Ricardo getting his his close-ups curtesy of NMS assistant, Logan Hart.
