beautiful from France features my work!
I was very honored this past week, when the wonderful
creators and owners of BEAUTIFUL contacted me
and wanted to feature my photography on their amazing site!
Based in Paris, this duo has been spreading beauty on the
Internet since August 2005. "We got the idea that it
would be nice to create exposure and publicity for people
who mean or could mean something in the gay surroundings.
There are so many talented and sexy gay men out
there who deserve some attention, and we like to bring
them closer to their potential audience. It seems to be a
quite appreciated concept considering the positive responses
and requests we get from both sides.
Of course the fact that we scatter some nudity over
our site might have something to do with that as well!"
The Beautiful Blog gets major traffic!
Thousands of hits per day. To be featured on their
blog is a real honor! Stop by their site and check it out.
You will be hooked, I am sure, and become a regular reader, as I am.
Thank you guys!

Male Models By Michael Snell
Adam Bouska, (above ) started as model and
later found himself in back of the camera, shooting
young and upcoming models. Adam now lives in
California and has a calendar coming out later this year!

My work with entertainers....
Then came Madonna.
She decided it was not necessary for photographers
to be allowed to shoot the whole show.
She really changed the industry. Her manager allowed
photographers 2 songs only from the pit, then gave them tickets
away from the stage, usually in the balcony, forcing photographers
to shoot with a tele-photo lens, if they wanted more photos.
From there on out, all performers started the
1-2 song limit. It wasn't as fun anymore.
And they wouldn't let us backstage.
So I moved away from the genre and started to
focus on models! But there was some good times!
I was on tour with Heart (super nice ladies) for 2 weeks.
Followed Alice Cooper for a week.
Photographed Grace Jones (who was amazing!) , Bette Midler,
Tina Turner (who is a wonderful person!) , Village People,
David Bowie, Babys, Angel, KISS, George Clinton & Parliament,
Diana Ross, Bob Seger - ok, now I guess I am dating myself.
Really, was about 10 years old then! LOL.
It was good times! I consider myself very lucky to have
had that amazing opportunity and meet some awesome people!

Sensual Male Models
I really enjoy photographing one person at a time.
Two can be tricky. It's usually harder to get that special magic shot.
