'It was a perfect late fall day.'
Although I love all four of the seasons, I'm especially passionate about visuals of the male form surrounded by everything Autumn. There's no studio on earth, that can replicate the beauty and colors of an actual fall backdrop. Skilled photographers not only capture the visuals, but the unique feel of a crisp fall day.
In this set of images, photographer
Michael von Redlich not only captures the beauty of model
Isaac Green, (
naturetwink603) but all of natures grandeur surrounding him. You can almost feel the cool air on Isaac's skin, not to mention the roughness of the tree bark. If you listen closely, you can also almost hear the faint crackling of the leaves on the ground under Isaac's bare feet.
Photographer Michael von Redlich isn't only a favorite chronicler of the male form, he's also one of my favorite chroniclers of Autumn. Last year, Michael shared a series of fall themed shots, with a variety of models he's worked with over the years. (
HERE:) I believe it was actually an Autumn image of Dan, (
HERE:) that had me first reach out to Michael about a piece on the site many years ago.
If you click on part 2 of the feature, (
HERE) you'll see after Dan slips out of his clothing, he wades into the cool water. The images of a naked Dan, bathing in the cool river, with the colors of Autumn reflected in the water, remain at the top of my list of all-time favorite seasonal shots.
Although Isaac doesn't go for a dip in this series, he's no stranger to plunging his body into cool bodies of water, and even freezing fields of snow. That doesn't mean the water didn't impact this shoot. As you can see, Isaac creates many of his most sensual poses next to a lake. Given how water temperature impacts air temperature, the location made those rocks Isaac is spread out over, would be incredibly hard, and incredibly cold. I'm guessing it felt a little like posing naked on a large block of ice.
Although I think I posted most of the Autumn themed images Michael sent on, I still have a few sets tucked away, many featuring Isaac, I'm looking to sharing before winter barges in to push fall aside. Thanks to Michael and Isaac for sharing with FH, their perfect Autumn day.
