The First-Timers Club: Jason by Random Exposures


'The first time you do a thing is always exciting.'
Agatha Christie


Regular FH readers know how much I love uncovering a first-timer.    This shoot is especially exciting for me as not only was it Jason's first time shooting nude, it was George's, (Random Exposures) first time shooting a nude male model.   George had been posing nude for art classes for awhile, and as an artist, thought it was time switch things up.  


George was used to being the one nude on display, surrendering control of how his nude body was perceived and presented to others.  Although George loves being an art model, there were other creative components he wanted to explore.  That led to him asking one of his instructors that he was looking for nude models to photograph.  


Unlike many photographers, and many people, who have a preference for either the male, or the female form, George was both open and enthusiastic, about capturing both.  With this in mind, his instructor referred two models to him, Jason, and a female model named Laura.  Although George had been behind the camera many times, Jason and Laura were his first nude models.  George shot Laura first, then a few weeks later, Jason arrived for his turn to strip down and pose for the camera. 


Although it was also Jason's first nude shoot, he and George had the shared experience of being completely naked in front of large groups of students as models art and drawing classes.  For Jason, shooting nude for just one artist was actually relaxing, something you can certainly see and feel from George's images.


Given it was the first nude photo shoot for both model and photographer, I was taken with the layers of elements they captured.  George followed Jason around the house, as his feline instincts took over.  In addition to heat seeking, Jason also did what so many cats annoying like to do, hang out on the stairs.  So many cat owners have cursed their cats after tripping over them as they attempted maneuver around them on the staircase.


Like so many cats, Jason also found himself hanging out around the edges of the bathtub.  Finding positions for the sun to hit his skin, without actually falling into the tub.  Of course like most cats, he did eventually need to be washed.  In this case though, Jason surrender to his human side, forgoing licking himself, and jumping quickly in and out of the shower.


George remembers Jason as being incredibly comfortable in his own skin.  He wasn't a member of any gym, or spent time worrying about his body, his reason for shooting was for the experience and pure joy of being naked.   Also like George, Jason was bisexual, recently divorced and raising two young children on his own.  Jason was looking for naked, and erotic experiences, but ones that wouldn't have a negative influence on his family. 


A self-pro-clamed nudist and body freedom advocate, with two small children, Jason obviously couldn't express this side of himself at home.  This led him to looking for experiences, like nude modeling, to pursue his passions.  George remembers Jason trying to organize a local naturalist/nudist group, but sadly didn't have a great deal of success.


'I remember attending a Naked Christmas party at his place but the only people there were Jason, myself and a male / female couple.'




Although Jason's naked Christmas party may have been a bust, his first time modeling nude was a huge success.  I think it helped, that the artist has similar views on the beauty of nudity and the nude human form.  I love Jason's look, and how George so organically captured his natural form so beautifully.  I really loved the sensual poses, as well as some of the behind-the-scene shots like the two images below.

Smukfest


'When August comes, so do about 60,000 beautiful people, ready for Smukfest, the most picturesque festival in Denmark.'


Picturesque?  I'm assuming since Smukfest is a music festival, the picturesque visuals are the the location, and all the hot naked bodies.  Located in the most beautiful beech wood in Denmark, Smukfest is a holistic out-of-this-world experience. Smukest is considered more than a festival, but a celebration of life, love and togetherness to the sound of music and from the best international and Danish artists available. It’s old and young, CEOs and students, hippies n’ yuppies and everything in between. 


Smukfest is the second-largest festival in Denmark, and it all takes place in the forest of Dyrehaven in Skanderborg. The main stage is located in a national amphitheatre surrounded by old beech trees, some of them more than 200 years old. This sets the scene for many magic and memorable concerts over the year.  Also known as the Skanderborg Festival, Smukfest is an annual music festival, held during the second weekend of August in Denmark. 


The festival covers a variety of music styles.  Performers come from the genres of rock, pop, folk, heavy metal, hip-hop and electronic. The festival focuses mainly on Danish music, but with some big names from other countries e.g. Britney Spears, Eric Clapton, Prince, Pet Shop Boys, Ozzy Osbourne, Tom Jones, Fat Boy Slim, Blood Hound Gang, Rihanna and many more. 


Like most music festivals, Smukfest also includes plenty of drinking, with the alcohol helping many of the festival attendee's slip more easily out of their clothes.  This helps, as many of the non-music activities include naked sports competitions. 


Most of the events are festival and camping themed, and include; canoe races, obstacles courses, tent assembly and of course, drinking.  While dozens of young hotties get naked, thousands of others watch, and enjoy, and cheer them on.



One of the most popular events is the 'who can put up their tent' the fastest competition.  Not only is it fun watching them try to shove their poles into the plastic, there are bonus points if an actual tent is spontaneously erected...
