Beautiful Thing

Jeff Stryker

A stryking image indeed of the famous actor and model.
It's success owes a lot to the choice of clothing,
very masculine with clever colours that grab the eye
 and work with the floppy hair to suggest youth.
Beauty is not measured in inches!

Men before Machines

Mercury

Mercury is a classic subject for male anatomy studies and this colourful portrayal of him, striding across the sky, is highly traditional too, affording a modest portrayal of the naked body. For some reason, the well developed upper thighs and chiseled, strong looking face made me think of him as a Rugby player. Quite apposite with the World Cup upon us again. I'm not sure this very modern-looking man would think his helmet terribly flattering, hats can be a minefield, as I'm sure Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will attest!

Men and Machines

What is it about men and motorbikes?
The attraction of power? A love affair? Or just companionship.
This picture by Michael Downs covers all the bases.

Hoodies and Rabbits

I like the frightened rabbit look in this picture of Ben Richards.
The hoodie is usually used to suggest streetwise danger, rather than awkwardness.
I like the way it frames his voluptuous torso.

Faces by Turquine

Dude What by Turquine

I am very interested in male faces and facial expressions and really liked these when I discovered them on Turquine's blog. Strange how a simple picture like this can invoke a storyline in the imagination.

No relation

Matteu Mitchman is definitely no relation
but he turns up on 'mitchmen' searches in Google so I thought I'd enrol him here.
Worth a mention.


Photographer Adam Pretty has caught some nice highlights here on the curvature of his 6-pack

Vested

Cut away vest

Continuing my occasional 'vest' images, this one shows the cut away design that highlights muscular shoulders. Incorporating design elements from the Argentine flag has added shape and clean, attractive colours. It also seems to vest the wearer with sporty connections and Latin attributes.

There's a sweetly, submissive element in the kneeling pose

This image comes from the Narciso Underwear range.
There is a site but it seems to be inaccessible.
You can find more images however by Googling them.

I hope to assemble these vest images into a coherent, spiced up article
 on the main blog when I have more time.
