Roger Y

There are many guys that I have photographed with superbly built bodies. Trying to capture their beauty is always a challenge, while not resorting to the typical chest and abdominals shot. As I love the shadows and darkness, I am always looking for that extra touch of difference with the limitations of a small studio with the simplest of lighting and adornment. Here, I was honored with the chance to do just that with Roger, who so kindly allowed me to shoot him nude. I hope you like these and can savor the beauty of this young man.

Calvin

Calvin

Calvin Chow was someone I had known for quite some time on the internet before actually meeting him in person. It may have over a year, or perhaps two. I recalled seeing images of him, wearing the occasional swimwear and seeing a very well developed upper body. Toward the end of last year, I struck up a conversation with him and made arrangements try to meet up, just to talk about the shoot. Two times we were supposed to meet and two times we never made it. Then a few weeks ago, we finally caught up with one another. It was clear that this young man was very nervous and fearful about being photographed, and about what he would be getting into. As it turned out, he very much wanted to be photographed, but his other half was very much against it. We decided in the end that we would do a very simple test shoot without going into anything beyond being shirtless. Here are a few of the shots I quite liked.

The opportunity to photograph Brian Lee, lead singer of his own band The Flit landed when friends of mine brought him in to perform for a gay dance here in Hong Kong. Blessed with a very photogenic face, Brian and I managed to do a shoot for beaux magazine, a new publication that is dedicated to Asian male beauty, published and founded by me, Norm Yip.
