1 - 26 - 22 Photographed Gage, age 32 in his Bronx, NYC apartment. There was perfect, natural light in his extra room, where I photographed him with red feather wings that he had made, along with other items to use for his photos. Slim body with tattoos, he was very comfortable being nude.
He told me he was gay, which I never ask, doesn't matter, lives alone and is spiritual. Nice guy, hope to photograph him again.

6 - 27 - 21 Photographed Shakim, age 20 years of age in Asbury Park, NJ. We went to the rock jetty area to do the photos and also some around the Carousel. He is very comfortable being nude and it was never an issue, if someone was around. Quickly, I took his photos in black and white and in color, easy to photograph and loved posing for the camera.

12 - 8 - 20 Photographed Jamere, age 31 years of age in midtown, NYC studio. He lives on the Lower East side and neverEas been photographed by a female in the nude, hence wanted the experience. Very nice guy, quiet and followed my direction. Photographed him in available light in b/w and in color and brought along a white mesh fabric to wrap around him. Very serene, very respectful guy. He rode his bike to the midtown studio, which he uses to get around the city and keeps him in good form.

11 - 24 - 20 Photographed Hursie during our Covid-19 times in a midtown studio. Both of us wore our masks and did social distancing. When I did the nudes, he took off his mask, while I had mine on and stayed 6 ft. away. Hursie is 50 years of age and looks much younger and is in super shape. He mentioned to me that he doesn't work out, must be the good genes. He's single and lives in the Bronx and works in a hospital, where I am sure he is doing great work for others. He wanted to do the nude photo shoot, since he said he never been photographed in the nude by a female, another feather in his hat, job well done. Cool, respectful, nice guy!

2 - 8 - 20 Photographed Ossie in midtown studio who is 32 years of age and originally from Trinidad. He was an all-star hockey player in Trinidad and has traveled to England to play, until he had a leg injury, then retired. Ossie has lived in Boulder, Colorado said he liked a lot where he had his job, but everyone looks alike. Has moved here to Queens, loves NYC and everyone is an individual. I met him when he was walking on West 42nd Street, after he had just went to a job interview for a retail job and that is when I asked if I could do these photos. He is open to new experiences and being photographed by a female, never done, so he was game to do and all went very well. His long dreads added to the photographs, along with his many tatoos that he had on his arms and back. Super nice guy. Perhaps I'll be photographing him outdoors, once it is spring time and he is open to doing. Very cool!

1 - 20 - 20 Photographed Craig, 25 years of age who lives in New Jersey. Since he wanted to connect with friends in NYC, he rented a hotel room in midtown, The Moxy on West 28th St. The room was bath in beautiful natural light with sun shining thru the floor to ceiling windows. Craig is a tall, slim guy who said to me that he doesn't eat fast food and it shows, too. Photographed him dressed with a Supreme cap on, then he had a white-do rag that held down his natural curly hair, when he removed it, very natural looking. He took my directions very well and has a wonderful smile, quiet guy, respectful guy and very, very nice. Enjoyed photographing him, easy to do with a wonderful guy.
