MALE MODEL Photography and MALE PHYSIQUE Photography By Michael Snell

I really do have a great job!

I love photographing Men and the Male Body.

It's sexy, sensual, sometimes romantic,

sometimes provocative.....

and it's so great when the model can connect with the

camera. It doesn't alwayshappen, unfortunately.

I have had some beautiful men in front of the camera who

were just BLAH!And I have had some average looking

guys in front of the camera who light up and come to life!

Almost everyone is nervous about being photographed,

even if they are not nude. I spend time working with

models so that they’ll feel more comfortable, and relax into their

own body language. Then I can shoot a portrait with some sense

of who they are. I try to capture a feeling from them.

A mood.
Fortunately, this doesn’t mean that they need to

be relaxed all the time. They only need to be relaxed

in the moments of being photographed.

If they’re tense through most of the shoot but I catch

a few relaxed moments, that’s enough. -

And a good number of the men

are photograph classify themselves as straight.

So sometimes it's harder

for them to comfortable - although not always.

It just depends on how

comfortablesomeone is in their own skin.
