The Body Book: Boys and Girls Like You and Me

I love doing photos of couples -- especially in a state of undress. The inherent differences between the male body and the female body make for some great anatomical landscapes and portraits.

And it doesn't matter what the purpose of the photo shoot - what counts is the resulting picture. Some of the couples in this layout are actual couples (some WERE couples at the time) and some are two people thrown together for a modeling portfolio, an ad campaign or a theatrical publicity still.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as the people are in front of the camera, clinging to one another, they are a couple. My job is to capture the juxtaposing skin tones, muscle tones and landscapes of their bodies.

When the couple is a real life couple and stays a real life couple and the photos help to cause them to remember an important part of their history as a couple, that just sweetens the deal.

It's not just couples, though.
A great photo can be made of
friends gathering for a fun
photo shoot, an adventure
on film.

It's all about the art.
