In the series "Constructs of Desire," my lens delves into the intricate interplay of body language, gender, and sexuality, inspired by the spirited debates ignited by Cameron and Kulick's (2003) groundbreaking work, "Language and Sexuality." This collection captures a fusion of analogue black and white and colour photography, accentuated by light leaks and a vintage aesthetic. The title itself, "Constructs of Desire," nods to the multifaceted nature of desire explored within the images.
Cameron and Kulick expanded the study of desire beyond mere sexuality, introducing the concept of ontological desire—an individual's yearning to embody or emulate qualities intrinsic to a specific identity. In the context of masculinity, this desire extends beyond societal constraints, revealing a compelling exploration of self-construction within cultural discourses.
Drawing inspiration from Stephen Whitehead's (2002) discourse on masculine ontology, the series navigates the pursuit of being and becoming masculine through performative acts. Masculinity, viewed as a social phenomenon, unfolds as a constant engagement in discursive practices that suggest and reinforce the desired identity. Through a lens of cultural discourses, the desire to construct and validate one's masculine self becomes a focal point.
The visual narratives within "Constructs of Desire" transcend traditional gender norms, as a physically powerful yet vulnerably posed male model challenges preconceptions. Portraits capture not only the details of a well-defined physique but also the adoption of feminine poses, emphasising the performative nature of desire, both ontological and interpersonal.
"Constructs of Desire" invites viewers to contemplate the multifaceted dimensions of desire, masculinity, and identity. Through a visual journey, this series challenges conventional norms, encouraging a deeper understanding of the performative acts that shape and express desire within the complex interplay of body language, gender, and sexuality.

Armando notes, ‘‘With this fashion shoot we want to pay homage to Old Hollywood, especially the silent era films (1895 - 1930). It’s still a great source of inspiration, even though those movies were created more than a century ago. They would feature icons like Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton.
This production can best be viewed while playing some Cab Calloway in the background (1907 – 1994).’’

“SUN-KISSED DAYS OF SUMMER: A Grecia Celebration of the Male Form”
Amidst the timeless beauty of Greece's breath-taking seascapes, this photographic series embarks on a journey through the sun-kissed days of summer.
In honour to the celebrated works of historical photographers who revelled in the male body's splendour, while also embracing its vulnerability, we present a retrospective exploration that captures the essence of both strength and sensitivity—a true portrayal of man.
Inspired by visionaries such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, and George Platt Lynes, this collection of images portrays the male body in its most natural state—unrestrained, empowered, and intimately connected to the surroundings. These images intend to immortalize the male form as a work of art, igniting discussions on sensuality, identity, and artistic expression.
Drawing from this legacy, "Sun-Kissed Days of Summer" seeks to evoke a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the classic approach to capturing the male body's allure while embracing the nuanced concept of vulnerability. Like Wilhelm von Gloeden and Tom of Finland, who bridged the gap between historical art and the contemporary male form, this series encapsulates the timeless beauty that transcends eras, juxtaposing virility with the tender emotions that make us human.
As the sun dances across the sculpted torso of our gorgeous model (Gustavo Franco) and casts enchanting shadows along the coastline, we pay tribute to the male physique as it intertwines with the natural world. Just as Carl Van Vechten's portraits captured the souls of his subjects, these photographs aim to convey the stories of these sun-drenched days—a tale of connection to nature, to history, and to the very essence of humanity.
The Grecian landscape is a backdrop for a celebration of youthful virility, life, and joy, as the sun's rays illuminate the beauty and strength of the male form. The contrast between light and dark shapes the curves and muscles of the body, while the gentle sound of the waves evokes a sense of timeless wonder and connection to ancient legends, like Herbert List's artistic and mythical vision.
With "Sun-Kissed Days of Summer," we invite you to embark on a visual journey that marries the past and the present. These photographs pay tribute to the artistic pioneers who redefined the portrayal of the male form, celebrating its every nuance beneath the eternal Grecian sun. This collection stands as a homage to the intersection of history, culture, and nature—a harmonious celebration of life, light, strength, vulnerability, and the captivating allure of the male body.

Dappled morning sunlight oozes through breeze-blown curtains, a golden honey glow that caresses everything in its path. Eyelids begin to flutter awake, the final moments of a dream evaporating like a mirage, as consciousness gathers in that enchanted space just below the surface of awareness. Between these two worlds all things seem possible, all things are attainable. If only this delicious disorientation could permeate the day.
And so a languid Sunday unfurls, quietly meandering from the tousled bed with its memories of the night before and on into a day of playfulness and contemplation. Hunter knows the value of these rejuvenating moments, essential time both for gazing within while expanding outward individuality, an occasion to calmly focus before embarking on the dynamic week ahead. There is no schedule to follow, decision to be made, or appointment to keep, just hours in which to reconnect with himself and the wistful remembrance of comfort and dreams. By day’s end, replenished and energized, he’s once again ready to welcome Monday with open arms.
