MINKAH by BELL SOTO / film

I shot this film and images with the stunning MINKAH / Soul Artist Management.
His physique is so perfect that I thought the metaphor of his body and the structure of a watch complement each other.
Also I loved the beauty of the skin floating on black background, it is my modest hommage to Robert Mapplethorpe images that I admire so much.

BRENT for JON magazine / UK - editorial +film

Here is a story I photographed for JON magazine with the beautiful Brent Black.
We did a video as well.
I played with mixed elements, the model is using a sex sling as a prop but the feel and music is very innocent, swinging to a lullaby . - Johannes Bramhs on a xilophone version that makes it a bit spooky
( which I think is a perfect match )
Lately, cinematic ideas inspire me more than shooting a model standing dressed and standing in front of a background or set looking at the camera with no emotion and no story.
