'Jimmy expressed himself with his body. He choose to speak with his actions and poses.'
If you've followed my previous pieces featuring the work of
Shax Carter, (
HERE:) you know the images I showcase are from multiple shoots. Shax's process is to follow a model over a period of time to capture not just their beautiful bodies, but their spirit, and personalities as well. In the case of his work with Jimmy, the creative duo set out for several days and nights of shooting and exploring the beauty of the US West.
This meant shooting for hours in both in the woods surrounded by rocky and mountainous beauty. When Shax first shared his work with Jimmy, I couldn't help but think that he reminded me of an incredibly hot Jesus. Jimmy's lean body, long flowing hair and beard, especially in the outdoor shoots, reminded me of a Messiah on a mission. Having seen Shax's
visual stories spotlighting Jimmy, this delectable deity is far more sexually explosive than any story written in the Good Book.
As a freelance structural worker, Jimmy is right at home in the outdoors. As much as I loved seeing Jimmy in 'the wild', I also really loved he and Shax's work indoors. Inside the hotel, without the worry of weather, bugs and curious looky-loos, it was easier for Jimmy to relax, and for Shax to capture more erotically charged visuals. I also really loved, that although inside, in so many shots, Shax incorporated the room's large windows, utilizing the surrounding rocky and wooded areas into many of the interior shots.
As he frequently does, with so many different themes, locations and shots, Shax has put together a visual scrapbook of time with Jimmy into a book. Featuring both the outdoor, and indoor locations, Shax has assembled 214 pages of Jimmy in both a hard cover, and PDF version, which you can instantly download.

How did you find Jimmy?
I came across Jimmy online, he was performing a cam show. Immediately I saw that his sensuality was mesmerizing. I started talking to him and he was very interested in doing a photo shoot, something he has always wanted to try.
Had he modeled before?
Jimmy had done cam shows for a while but hadn't done any photography or anything like that. This was something he had always wanted to try, so he was up for it right from the start,
What motivated you to want to shoot Jimmy?
My main motivation was to really bring out his sensuality, and further what I had seen in his solo performances. I really wanted to take it to the next level.
What were your first impressions upon meeting?
Jimmy was very quiet and a little withdrawn when we first met. I thought it would be relaxing for him to start with some outside photos, with the camera at a distance letting him find his own personal space to work in. As we went on, I brought the camera closer to him and by that point, it was if the camera wasn't even there. He became a natural fairly quickly.
Any stories from the location shoots?
We did a lot of wandering around the woods and rocks, looking for places to shoot. The overall location was so magnificent, and Jimmy really enjoyed searching out the best places. My original plan was to do one piece of outdoor shooting, but we ended up doing about four pieces at different times of the day.
What was your favorite part about working with Jimmy?
To put it simply, everything.
Did he ever express any boundaries, or was his goal to push those boundaries?
Jimmy naturally pushed his boundaries throughout the shoot. As we progressed, he became more and more open with everything naturally, and I just followed along photographing everything. He was very grateful for being able to do the shoot, and it was like he didn't want to stop.
Tell me when in the process erections and ejaculation come up?
When we moved to interiors the first time, and the clothes started to come off, he started getting an erection naturally and repeatedly. We would move again outdoors for some shooting in different light, and when we returned to interior work, it would begin all over again. By the time we were finishing up the shoot, ejaculation seemed the most natural thing to do.
