The Gladiator: Cody by Frisky Frolic
'Cody was a very charming, nice, and easy guy to work with.'
Today's theme, and today's model spotlight, was inspired by this year's Superbowl, and one visually impressive orb. No, not the impressive, and beefy set of globes on Cody, but a orb-shaped balloon that a naked Cody was holding in an image on JayBee's (Frisky Frolic) Instagram page.
I know many of you recognize Cody from his previous appearances on the site. It's hard to believe, but first featured JayBee's work with Cody over a decade ago. The Portland based photographer shared some of his images of Cody in different costume for a Halloween themed piece back in 2015. (HERE:) FH readers know JayBee's work goes hand in hand with visually, and erotically, celebrating holidays on the site.
IJayBee's portfolio and archives are a bit like a dress-up trunk. (or tickle trunk for those Canadian readers) Like most costume and treasure trunks, no matter how many times you dive in, there always seems to be new precious gems to discover. That's exactly what happened when I asked JayBee about his work with Cody.
In addition to those Super Bowl themed shots and the orb, (balloon) I also bugged JayBee about more of Cody in his Gladiator ensemble. The Gladiator costume was a bargain buy, and I don't think JayBee especially loved how it photographed. Still, with Cody's handsome face, and his body parts peaking through the slits of the skirt, few were paying attention to the costume! Scroll down to see more of JayBee's work with Cody.
studioAtruong: Curve Appeal
Although today is a celebration of JayBee's work with Cody, I couldn't not link back to another piece featuring the hot, muscled stud. Another of my favorite artists, studioAtruong also captured Cody in an intimate photo session that I loved featuring back in 2016. Check it out HERE:
The Balloon Bouquet: Cody by Frisky Frolic
'That big bubble butt of his...'
While I was scrolling through JayBee's (Frisky Frolic) portfolio for the Super Bowl post, I saw an image of Cody holding a blue balloon. I'd seen that specific image previously, but it was the only shot of Cody with balloons that I'd seen. I of course had to ask if there were more. As you can see, there were! This series has not been seen before, and I'm grateful to Jaybee for digging into his archives to share them with the site.
I love visuals of the male form with balloons. Maybe it's the kid in me, but I love the pops of color and what a creative and versatile prop they can be. In additions to adding color, they can also both at to cover a model's body, (or body part) and also as a unique backdrop. I think I also love the connection between balloons with parties, with fun and with celebration. Given FH is a celebration of the male form, they make a perfect accompaniment, especially when shot by an artist with the imaginative creativity of Frisky Frolic.
When it comes to imagery of the male form, one of the elements that draws me in is storytelling. JayBee always manages to tell such relatable stories through his work. For me, JayBee's visuals always manage to evoke not just memories but a very specific state of mind. Sadly we tend to s lose that 'Christmas morning' sense of excitement, especially when grown-up responsibilities take over. Jaybee manages to evoke that childlike magic we all felt when we were younger.
Hot Route: Cody by Frisky Frolic
'When I was able to see full body on display photos…and I was like wow…'
When I noticed the Seattle Seahawks were playing in this year's Super Bowl, I remembered that one of the outfits Cody was wearing, well... barely wearing in that first Halloween post, was a scarf and toque with the Seahawks logo. I got in touch with JayBee to see if he had any edits that we hadn't yet used. Of course he did! Some of these images I featured before. Some I tucked away and are being featured for the first time,
In addition to his strong face and hard, muscular body, I also love Cody's hair. Although I've seen some of Cody's work with short hair, I think the longer, wavy look really suits him. I also love how 'game' he seemed for JayBee's themes and ideas. Given his physique, posing as a football player and a Gladiator were perfect choices to show off his physique. Cody however was right at home with the balloons, and any concept that JayBee through at him. Thanks to JayBee for sharing your work with Cody, and your comments on your creative collaboration!
How do you usually first connect with possible subjects?
Mostly through word of mouth, as I’ve established a presence and body of work that folks recognize. But also via IG, and occasionally through Model Mayhem.
How did you first connect/meet Cody?
I believe it was through Model Mayhem….or maybe IG led me to his Model Mayhem. When I was able to see full body on display photos…and I was like wow…I have to see if we can collab on a shoot.
What first struck you about his appearance?
That big bubble butt of his, and then the rest of him looked pretty good too.
Do you know if he'd had much experience modeling, and modeling nude?
I knew he was an experienced model. I could tell by his portfolio, and recognized some of the photographers that photographed him (we photographers have a ’style’ that becomes recognizable).
Did you discuss concepts prior to the shoot?
No. Like most models that I photograph, they like to take direction, or try to bring to life whatever concept I have in mind. I do welcome their ideas, but tell them I can plan and direct from 0 to 100% of the shoot…depends on whether they want to provide input. I always ask them to bring a variety items to pose in and out of.
You did 3 themes that I've seen, were they all your ideas?
Yes, they were all my ideas, Cody was just a really happy and willing body. He was very comfortable being nude, and taken direction.
Did you do them all in one session, or did you have multiple shoots?
This was all in one shoot. My shoots usually take 1.5 to 2 hours. I always have a shoot plan, with more material than I can shoot…that way I don’t get “stuck” having to think of content while in the shoot. Most times, I don’t even look back at the photoshoot plan, and add in other content as I see things unfold in front of the camera.
What stands out from you from your time working with Cody, any specific memories?
Cody was aware of how he showed up in front of the camera, from his stances, and angling towards the light. He didn’t require much fine tune directing, which allows my mind more free space to create in the moment.
Do you know if Cody continued to model after you worked together.
That I’m not sure of. Once I left Seattle, I was busy in my new city, trying to discover my next pool of models to work with. In each market, it takes some time to find a pool of reliable models to work with.
