These are few images that I have selected from a shoot with Sherman, a young man that I came in contact with through Instagram. I don’t know much about him and asked about where he worked. He seemed hesitant to say he that he worked in the food and beverage industry. Maybe he works in a cha chan teng, a local Hong Kong eatery as kitchen staff. I really don’t know.
Regardless, I am posting a few of the images I selected from a set of 1-star ratings, so this comes in the 2-star. I have not finished selecting, but I thought I would put something onto Patreon for now.

Photographed in 2013 and introduced to me by my friend Leandro, I had the opportunity to meet one of the very few Vietnamese guys in my collection of Asian male images. Taken back by his blond hair (as I think jet black hair on Asians are perfectly beautiful), I tried hard to get him to take off his pants for me, but to no avail. He wouldn’t go beyond shirtless. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. In my books, if I am going to photograph any guy for this project, they have to do more than shirtless or underwear only. I have no interest to shoot something for the sake of simple pretty boy photographs that gets plastered on IG or for their own showing off collection. My only exception to this unwritten rule is when my main focus is to shoot a portrait of the guy, in which case, I will only request that they be shirtless.

In all these years of photographing and posting onto Facebook and Instagram, these photographs of Corey should be the ones that are pulled down for breaking their [fucking] community standards. Suggestive images implying sex while showing full nudity and erections are shown in all its glory. For many years, I was reluctant to photograph an erection, although I did of John for ‘The Asian Male – 3.AM.’ This one takes it further by showing a guy’s ass cheeks.
Corey started somewhat hesitant and unsure of what he was supposed to do, but eventually, he started to warm to the lights, music and the persistent clicking of the camera shutter — giving affirmation of his actions. There were several times when he moaned in his pleasure, succumbing to his self-stimuli. The photographic session was indeed heated, leaving us both exhilarated and exhausted at the end of the shoot.
NOTE: Please note that these photographs have not been properly retouched, but is only a preliminary version for Patreon viewers to see first. There were about 100 selected images from the Preview set, but these I selected to offer you a taste of what’s to come.

As I am restructuring my Asian Male website (https://theasianmale.com) to become a website where I showcase primarily photographs that are available as limited edition prints. In looking back at my images, I notice that the retouching is not as good as it could be, most likely because the monitors I had back then are not as good as they are now.
In the process of retrieving the original image, and in some instances re-scanning them entirely, I rediscover images that were left by the wayside. This was the case with the photographs of Julius, a Filipino model that was working for Disney that I got to meet and shoot.
I intended to just retouch the one image that appeared in the book, but decided, in the end, to select a few more and post these here. I have increased contrast and added a highpass filter to give the images more presence. Some of the above images have never been shown before. Although I have not decided, I may create a gallery on my website with just his images. We shall see.

About a week ago I started working on meshes. Tonight, while I was working on fixing up my website, I suddenly felt the inspiration to work on these again, as my mind began selectively picking and choosing photographs from the past. Most of the backdrops to these are from photographs of nature, like moss, broken branches and trees. I have indicated the guys that I used for creating these.
Eventually, these will be included in my NYVA STUDIO website: http://nyvastudio.com, but you first saw it here on Patreon.
