Photographers - Part 84

Walter Zak

Walter Zak, above, is a London-based fashion, beauty and still-life photographer.

He has made an extensive series of nude male photographs of many different models that he calls his "Boys" series.  Above: Christopher.

Connor Bladen.

Another photo of Connor Bladen.  It's so dark, you can hardly see anything.

Out of curiosity, I brightened it in Photoshop, above.  All of this detail is in the original dark image; it's just so dark you can't see it.  Why does Zak like his photos to be so dark?  I don't know.  Perhaps he thinks it makes them look more artistic.

Lukey, photographed for Crotch magazine.  Not every Zak photo is too dark.  This one and the next one are reasonable.

Robert Decanio.

Zak did a photo shoot for Mayl Wear, a maker of limited-edition "concept" clothing and other products for gay men.  Zak photographed Zachary Morris wearing a Mayl Wear T-shirt.  A different photo of Zachary wearing this T-shirt was used on Mayl Wear's website.  But the reason this photo wasn't used is not the frontal view; Mayl Wear used other photos with frontal views on their website to appeal to their gay target audience.  I think the issue with this photo was that although it shows off Zachary, it doesn't show off the shirt, which says "HUNG".

We end with a photo of Zachary Morris in the shower.
