Description
Body forms. Series 1.3"If our mind is shaped by our experiences, so too, our body shaped by our repeated actions. The uselesness of the body builders craft is akin to the mental agility of little practical application enjoyed by the 'idiot savant'. To have our form shaped though, by the obsessions that we undertake, is to create a wonderful landscape to explore. To enjoy the naked form as art is to grow beyond the human desires we feel. And thus we open up a whole new world of beauty, hitherto only seen as stimulus" - Doug

Coming back to this one again.
You have some really good comments!
This photo has an metaphysical quality.
The whole series is simply perfect. So much so that for me these photos are not sexy or beyond sexy (and that's why I don't go along with the drool factor some people are mentioning) because they have a clinical beauty, and I hope you're not taking this in a negative way.
They express something essential and are at the same time utterly removed and objective.
Amazing achievement Doug.

I am guessing this is the photo shoot you we talked about.
I think you proved your theory wrong ... these are definitely art!!!
wonderful job... I love the empty space on top it's inspiring me!
the whole series is great but I think this one and the one in color are my favs
I love the contrast with his skin and the gray background in the color one.
color me impressed and amazed

Another great one ... the lighting is great ... your series is really well done ... each picture is like a bit of the same with a mixture of something new with the similar feel ... I hope that made sense ...

ouuwwww! i love the composition and lighting of this piece... and of course, it is extremely aesthetically pleasing as well
i just noticed tho that the hand looks a little weird... as in, the hand looks dark, especially towards the fingers... but the thumb looks pale as if it belongs to someone else! really odd... wonder if it's all that blood rushing towards his fingers...

Great capture; the minimalism suts it perfectly. I love the lighting effect -- the gradient on the wall and the box, very stylish!

Just stunning!!
There is nothing I can add about something perfect The only thing that I am wondering about is how it would look with a black border-- but thats just me and my love of hard contrasts.
Fabulous photograph

oh my god! What a great shot, the muscles are so beautifully displayed, and I love the pose.

I haven't even looked at the other two yet, but this one is wonderful. I love it, but you probably knew that already...Aside from the obviousness of a gorgeous model ,which I am sure you didn't mind either (snickering in the background), the lighting is great. I like the way it highlights the musculature. It is as if you just froze him and positioned yourself for the perfect angle.
I guess I should stop and look at the others before you get your ego inflated too much over just this one.

Love the geometry of this shot, great lines, and flow. Impressive model as well, good strenght to hold that pose. I hope you were a kind photographer and didn't make him hold it for too long. hehe
Anyway, two thumbs up!

ah, doug. where do you find these people?
that is really stunning and i love the gradient in the lighting (although there are some compression marks showing in the image on my screen, which could well be my fault.)
the box looks illusionistic, 2d.. very beautiful.
