Singapore: Fahmi

Thirty-four year old Fahmi is one of those special and inspiring muses who comes along once in a while, if you're lucky.

We immediately hit it off when we first met last autumn. He's a total beefcake, a lot of fun to be around - lots of laughs and jokes, but also able to be serious and talk about heavier stuff, as I've found out over the course of our friendship.

This series is from our third and most recent photoshoot. At the end of May I once again found myself in Singapore and ...

Bangkok: Laika

Thirty year old Laika was a sort of last minute find on my recent trip to Bangkok. Because Bangkok is notoriously challenging for me to find models, I had cast a wide net. Sure, you may look at my posts and see lots of models I've shot in BKK, but the truth is that the vast number of them are last minute and spontaneous ones, as the ones that are usually planned - probably at least half of them completely flake and ghost. It never fails and this latest trip was no different. The city and the ...

Kuala Lumpur: Ben

Thirty-six year old hunk Ben and I connected last month when I was in Kuala Lumpur. I had just 2 days left in the city and I really wanted to find one more, strong and solid guy to photograph. A good friend of mine in Singapore suggested Ben, so I added his Instagram and sent him a message. It was a long shot, as it meant there was only really one day we could do it and that was the very next day. Lucky for me, he had the week off work as he was preparing for his body building competition on ...

London: Donald

Thirty-something Donald and I have been connected on Instagram for a few years - can't remember exactly how many. I've always wanted to photograph him, but hadn't been back to the UK since I left in 2018. Welp, I finally made it back late last month and voila!

Firstly, he's a full-time, professional model who is based in London (grew up elsewhere in the UK) and has done a ton of commercial work. I don't even know how many ad campaigns, billboards and magazine spreads he's done,...

England: Lewis

Twenty-four year old muscle boy Lewis and I connected through Instagram sometime last year when I was planning my Euro trip. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't swing a London trip at the time, but added his name to my folder of guys to collaborate with in the future. For this latest short stint in the UK, I lined up a couple other guys as well, so as to be as productive as possible.

Lewis doesn't live in London, however, so I ended up taking an expensive train journey wa...

Singapore: George

Thirty-one year old George and I connected through Instagram sometime last year when I was searching out new guys to collaborate with in Singapore. He had just relocated to Singapore from London and with both of our busy schedules, we couldn't make it work. On my latest, unplanned trip back to Singapore, he was one of the first guys I got in touch with to make it happen this time and I'm glad I did!

Originally from Indonesia, George seems to have been all over - living, working, etc. H...

Singapore: Edwin

Twenty-six year old Edwin and I connected via Grindr on my latest trip to Singapore. The location may look familiar, as it's my #1 go-to location in the city that's so developed, built up and where every corner feels as if it's surveilled.

Originally from the Philippines, Edwin has been living and working in Singapore for some time and teaches gymnastics to kids. Though he's got a sexy and 'just right' physique that isn't over done or not enough - he never goes to the gym. With...

Singapore: Fahmi

Thirty-four year old Fahmi and I had connected sometime last year via Instagram, in the hopes of having a photoshoot together upon my return to Asia.

Fahmi and I immediately hit it off. He's a total beefcake, a lot of fun to be around - lots of laughs and jokes, but also able to be serious and talk about heavier stuff, as I've found out over the course of our friendship.

This series is from our first shoot and first day of meeting. He suggested a great park for the nature theme ...

North Carolina: Amet

Twenty-six year old Amet flew down to the Carolinas last summer for a couple days to do some shooting and exploring with me. We'd been insta 'friends' for a bit, so it was good to finally meet him.

First off, he's a small guy - tiny. Older than he looks, very much a twink and hung, he's originally from Cuba but now lives in NYC. He had lots of clothes and outfits and photo ideas, so we tried lots of things, but the underlying theme of course is always nudity.

This little series is...

Singapore: Fahmi

Thirty-four year old Fahmi and I had connected not too long ago via Instagram, in the hopes of having a photoshoot together upon my return. This series of behind-the-scenes shots is actually from our second shoot - 3 days after our first.

Fahmi and I immediately hit it off. He's a total beefcake, a lot of fun to be around - lots of laughs and jokes and also really good at talking about the heavy and more serious things. We met in person last November, but have stayed in regular contact...

Malaysia: Lex

Thirty-something Lex and I have been connected on Instagram for several years - I can't recall how long exactly. He's another one who's just been this handsome guy, far away who I've always wanted to meet and photograph. Well, this past trip was all about doing just that, so he was part of my final photoshoot in Asia and it was a great success. I ended up photographing Lex and my other friend and model Kith as well. Since Kith and I had discovered this beautiful, abandoned old villa in Malacc...

Bangkok: Joe

I've known Joe for many years, though we had never met. We connected so long ago via Facebook and Instagram and as usual, talked about eventually doing a photoshoot one day when our paths actually cross. Fast forward to December and we were both in Bangkok. He lives in Australia, but Bangkok is his hometown and he was visiting family during the holiday. 

I had scouted and used this location in advance and figured it'd be a good spot. It's an abandoned and unfinished apartment build...

North Carolina: Weston

Weston and I have had 2 shoots together since 2021 and have stayed in close contact since. This series is from our second shoot, which we did during his Thanksgiving break and on his way home to Kentucky. He stopped in Charlotte for the day to catch up, explore and of course sneak in a little photoshoot.

This was at the end of the day, with the late afternoon sun. Being a former gymnast and avid gym guy, he admitted that he'd been so busy with school and all that he wasn't in the best ...

Virginia: Min

I returned to the states in late January, but due to personal and family issues and duties, didn't get to pick up my camera until March. Min is my only shoot I've done back home in the US this year so far and at the moment don't have any others lined up.

Twenty-five year old Min and I connected through Twitter last year before I went abroad in September. He's a couple hours or so from me, and scheduling a shoot then before I left wasn't really an option with our conflicting schedules. W...

Mexico City: Cesar

Handsome and beefy (do people still say that?) Cesar was my first shoot back down in Mexico on my trip that summer. It was such a busy, productive and fun trip full of shooting and full of guys - I don't even recall how we first connected, but it must've been Instagram. We did this shoot the day after I arrived and in my first Airbnb of 3 on that trip. The Airbnb was in a dodgy neighborhood, but I chose it based solely on the photos, as I usually do. I figured it'd be a good space for photos,...

Copenhagen: Boris

Twenty-seven year old Boris and I connected the usual way - Grindr. He's originally from Guatemala, but is doing grad school in lovely Copenhagen.

An avid rock climber, he has a strong, thick physique - along with the long curls he wore in a bun - hot combo as far as I'm concerned 😍

We met at a nearby cafe to chat for a bit first and get comfortable with one another - as I usually prefer to meet the models before having them strip down, though sometimes it's not possible. Afte...

Bangkok: Alfie

Twenty-four year old charmer and sweet talker - when he turns on that smile with those eyes, watch out 😆

I met him unexpectedly a couple days into my most recent Bangkok trip. He messaged me on Grindr - asking 1) if he's my type and 2) if I want to photograph him. Well, what the hell? That was the beginning to a few days of hang outs, photo sessions, late night dinners eating street food, 3 am drives around the city on his scooter and more. It was a fun 'welcome back' of sorts to the...

Bangkok: Harry

Twenty-nine year old "Harry" and I connected via Instagram on my last trip to Bangkok. We met soon after my arrival, as per usual I try to meet as many locals and do as many sexy photoshoots as I can! Harry checks both those categories, though he's originally from China, he's lived in BKK for several years. Local enough :)

He's a sweet guy with a handsome face and a killer physique, so shooting him was quite easy, as you'd imagine. We did this series in the kitchen of my Airbnb.

Riga: Antons

Handsome 30-something Antons and I met last autumn when I was traveling through Europe. I was in his city for a few days doing my usual exploring and looking for guys to collaborate with, when I came across his profile on Grindr. We discussed the details, made a plan and set the date.

He's with the national ballet company in Latvia and the camera loves him - in fact, he was on billboards and signs throughout the city for a photo campaign the company was doing for their upcoming show. Ov...

Helsinki: Jack

Last autumn while passing through Finland for a few days, I met Jack. Twenty-nine and from Sweden, he's been living in Finland for several years doing musical theater. I was eager to meet him and shoot, as I had just left Sweden before Finland and hadn't met any local guys to shoot. Despite having 3 shoots in Sweden, none of them were actually Swedish. Anyhow, he checked that box for me and also the 'willing and eager' box for a photoshoot 😆

Chatting before our shoot and discussing d...

Malaysia: Kith

Thirty-three year old Kith is a bodybuilder and an accomplished musician and teacher. He's got the physique of a violin player, don't you think? 😏He and I have been connected via Instagram and Facebook for several years - I think we first connected around 2016 or so. We'd occasionally chat, but never too much and never really got to know each other much - until I arrived here in Malaysia. In fact, my trip here was only intended to be 1-2 weeks, but because of him I extended.

We hit i...

South Carolina: Davis

I met Davis through Grindr and we had been chatting for quite a bit before we actually met. I found him to be cute and handsome - and tall, so why not?

He was pretty curious about the abandoned yarn factory I had been using and was down to do a little bit of modeling for me while exploring. In addition, I wanted to fly my drone around and get some footage of the place and didn't want to go it alone in a somewhat sketchy place, so win win.

Enjoy!

Clover, Sept 2...
