Alejandro was a real find for me on this most recent trip. We connected via Instagram prior to me going down there and made plans to shoot. We both had busy schedules and were in opposite parts of the city, but were determined to make it work!
He came over one late afternoon/early evening after his work finished. We didn't have time to meet and shoot anywhere private outdoors, due to the time of day - which turned out to be for the best, as it also started raining soon thereafter. While I was really hoping to shoot somewhere more interesting and exciting, he was pushing more to just use my Airbnb, which we did.
My Airbnb was located in the beautiful Condesa neighborhood of the city. The apartment building was originally 2 or 3 stories, but had been added on to over the years and made it a mismatched sort of place. My little apartment was 2 floors and quite compact. After entering from the top floor kitchen area, I'd have to carefully squeeze down this rickety, narrow old spiral staircase to the actual living space below. The only way in or out was at the top of the stairs and as a nearly 6'3 guy, I tried to limit my trips up and down that wobbly thing.
Anyway, I know you're not reading this to find out about the space as much as the subject matter, eh? Ale-Alejandro (see what I did there?) was obviously an easy subject to work with - handsome with an outrageous body and other noticeable attributes 😏 I gave him some underwear for the first series we did and while I usually would post those photos first, so as to lead up to the nudes ... I couldn't resist sharing these with you first.
The space was interesting and we made use of it all. Upstairs in the kitchen, outside on the terrace and then for these images, downstairs in the massive shower and on the stairs. More to come, but in the meantime let me know what you think!
Enjoy!
