Favorite Click Of The Week: James Ratliff by Jeff Slater



Usually with my 'Favorite Clicks' I post on several links that I enjoyed over the past week. This week, Jeff Slater's work with James Ratliff was the one link that stood out to me above the others. I first saw Jeff's shoot with birthday boy James on Oh La La then followed to his site to see more.



I have been posting quite a bit on model James Ratliff over the past while. James from Nous Model Management is one of the most interesting models to hit the scene in awhile. James has an amazing body and face yet has a unique look which makes him stand out. James is also standing out due the brave choices he is making. James has been working with photographers whose work, like James stands out. This is certainly the case for his most recent shoot with the brilliant Jeff Slater. These shots of James look both retro and classic yet new and edgy. Retro and classic due to the focus on the form and the use of light and shadow. New and Edgy because you don't often see new models is such beautiful classic shoots. Be sure to check out more of Jeff's work at his wonderful site and blog found HERE:









'Buns' by Hans Fahrmeyer

-Sundays with Hans-
Part 8




One of the reasons I love the work of Hans Fahrmeyer is that he takes an unabashed look at the male body through his work. Some photographers take a shot of a male backside and use props or an interesting set to almost make the viewer not realize they are looking at an ass. Possibly this is a way to get their work seen by more people but I think most people are clear they are looking at an ass, even when it has a flower on it. When Hans Fahmeyer shoots an ass...you know what you are supposed to be looking at.




One of Hans signature shots is also one of my favorites. During most of Hans shoots, his models pose with their jeans or pants pulled down to various of levels. I love this pose and Hans has perfected it. This weeks Sunday's with Hans is the first part of a 3 part series of Hans look at the male backside starting today with the signature shot described. As always you can see much more of Hans work at his official site HERE:
