Fwee Carter: Lucky to Have! .

A Ginger is like a four leaf clover...hard to find, but lucky to have.
In addition to having the color orange on the national flag, Ireland is sometimes called the world's capital when it comes to gingers. The Emerald Isle, or maybe it should be called the Carnelian Isle, has a higher per capita percentage of ginger than most other countries. Estimates suggest it's anywhere from 10% to 30% of the population having red hair. Here are a few of my favorite gingers courtesy of artist and photographer Fwee Carter.
The Irishman: Fra Fee
'Oddly-monikered Irish actor.'
Fra Fee
It's been a big year and a half or Irish actor Fra Fee. Although he's been acting professionally for over a decade, 2024 and 2025 marked a change with break out roles expanding his fan based to audiences in America and world wide.Born in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, Fee was raised in rural Killyman, attending St Patrick's Academy in Dungannon for
He began his life in theatre performing regularly with Bardic Theatre in his early days before pursuing music at the University of Manchester. Later, Fee went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music, where he graduated in 2009. Fee transition from music to acting was natural. With his musical background, he was soon appearing in productions at Belfast's Grand Opera House in conjunction with the Welsh National Opera. Some of the shows he appeared in included: The Beggar's Opera, The Mikado and Sweeney Todd.
Fee made his big screen debut in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables playing Courfeyrac, a fun-loving and practical young man known for being Marius's closest friend. I think I first noticed Free back in 2019 after seeing caps from his brief butt baring scene in comedy, drama Animals.
Not only did the openly gay Fee marry last year, he also appeared on screen in the BBC min-series Lost Boys and Fairies, and appeared with actor Leo Woodall on the APPLE TV show Prime Target. I just recently featured Leo on the site, baring his beautiful bum on White Lotus. Both Leo and Fra both showed their buns again on Prime Target.

The Body You Have: Sebastian by Man Space Photography
'Working with Man Space was like seeing myself through my eyes, but with an entirely new perspective.'
When I first contacted Man Space Photography, I asked about featuring his St. Patrick's Day work with model Sebastian Calvin. After spending time on his site however, there were so many looks and shots that I really wanted to share. The chemistry is evident in every shot and theme captured. Man Space generously welcomed me to choose more of my favorites. Sebastian was also on board, and welcomed my questions about his modeling, and his many creative collaborations with Man Space.
What first brought you to modeling?
I think it first started with a friend wanting to take my picture, I had shoulder length hair that I was donating for cancer patients and wanted to document how I looked before the haircut. After that, I think ManSpacePhotography reached out on Instagram and I did my first real photoshoot with him.
Did you initially plan on modeling nude?
I wasn't planning on it, but in my first shoot with ManSpacePhoto I think he asked if I'd be comfortable. I obviously said yes. I loved seeing portraits of my favorite artists nude and I found nudity to be beautiful so I wanted to try it myself for a photoshoot.
Did you have any factors you had to weigh before your first nude shoot?
Of course I was a little worried about where it would go and who would see it, coming from a small town, I didn't want to be shunned by my community. But during that time I had also moved 2000 miles away and was in the exploration years of my life so | was more focused on the joy that it would bring me rather than what people would say.
After ManSpace contacted you, did you check out his work, and if so, what stood out?
I did! What stood out was how comfortable his models were and the variety of them. Also his shooting style was very clean and honest-feeling. And I felt safe and excited to shoot with someone who had a great sense of the Camera.
Did you discuss themes, especially the holiday themes, prior to shooting?
Yes, I think we talked about locations, what to wear for some of the shots. He helped direct my modeling too so we talked quite a bit about how the shoot would go.
What stands out most from the shoot?
I felt so beautiful. Growing up not getting much attention or thinking I looked attractive conventionally. It was great to see me through someone else's eyes. Working with Man Space was like seeing myself through my eyes, but with an entirely new perspective.
How many times did you work together?
We've worked the most together than any of the other photographers that I've worked with. I'm losing track now but maybe over 10 times over the years. Since moving back to California we are working together more often.
What was your favorite part about working with ManSpace?
He is so kind! We are both open to exploring new ideas. It's always very easy and fun with him.
I've seen your holiday images on many sites. Have you had them pop-up place you didn't expect? Ever since I started modeling pictures have been popping up on Tumblr (back when that was the big site) and Facebook groups and Twitter. It was a little surprising, still always flattering. But friends will often message me saying “You're on this page again!" And send me a pic.
What's been your favorite reaction from viewers of your work?
I've had a couple of people reach out and says how I've inspired them to be more confident. Talking about nudity, I don't usually pose erect and my penis is small- average. People have thanked me for showing that your penis size doesn't define your beauty or worth as a man, and that you can still be sexy, and comfortable in your skin with the body you have. :)
