I am looking for non-model, real everyday men for a series titled "Stripped Raw". The concept is very simple, no props or clothes to hide behind, stripped down to just you and my camera. I want to capture honest, vulnerable emotion. I'm asking for a lot in terms of emotional trust and honesty. The result will be a ...collection that shows a whole side of the male species that is rarely captured for public viewing.
Regarding the nudity, I'm not out to see your bits and bobbles. The nudity requirement should hopefully be self explanatory but if not then I'll say this... Clothes, labels, give us a shield, something to hide behind. When absolutely everything is taken away that could possibly keep the world from seeing the real you... what's left? Just you and your emotions.
I will not be directing you to pose in any particular manner. I am looking for males of all shapes, sizes, ethnicity, social backgrounds and age. What I really am hoping for is to personally connect with the subject emotionally. The photography setting will simply be a place for the subject to sit, stand, recline, lay, whatever and just talk to me. I want authenticity above all else. I want the subject to be emotionally vulnerable and share with me some of his most guarded secrets, history, etc. I will happen to be holding my camera and snap shots when appropriate. If I catch a bit of an emotional breakdown, fit of anger, etc. then perfect. But I hope at the very least to capture the most honest expressions and body language possible. I will give no direction as to posing or anything as I don't want anything to look posed. Basically just sit, talk, shoot.
Contact me and let's make this happen.
