Beautiful Thursday | Tony & Clint

AS YOU ARE USED TO IF YOU VISIT BEAUTIFULMAG REGULARLY, WE TALK A LOT ABOUT MODELS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS, WHAT DRIVES THEM AND WHAT THEIR PASSION IS. MANY GUYS HAVE A CERTAIN GOAL IN MIND WHEN THEY ENTER THE WORLD OF ART MODELING, AND IT IS A FACT THAT THIS BUSINESS CAN BRING YOU TO UNEXPECTED PLACES. BUT IT ISN’T OFTEN THAT THROUGH THIS WORK YOU CAN FIND THE MAN OF YOUR LIFE.

Tony and Clint are a real life couple and they met through the modeling industry. They are about to celebrate their first anniversary, and as you can see, they are still very much in love and make a great couple. Even though not in the big city - they are living in Pennsylvania, which isn’t exactly close to the blooming modeling places - the two boys are quite active when it comes to modeling and visit new York regularly.  Still it was quite special they drove 4 hours to come to New York City in order to pose for this series, shot by Frank Louis.

Frank Louis is of course no stranger to us. We have had the privilege of featuring many of his extra ordinary photographic essays, all of them so representative for his strong passion for dance and everything that is Italian. Frank has his studio in the West Village where he happily receives interesting models who are comfortable in front of the camera. Hence his work with Tony and Clint.

The concept for this shooting was simple: to capture two sexy men, both as striking individuals and as an unity together. "They [Tony and Clint] are outstanding models to work with," Frank comments on his session with the couple. "In many ways they seem even more comfortable nude than fully clothes. We used natural light from my loft windows where they were very comfortable posing nude in front of." It is easy to recognize the passion between the two man. Their kisses are sweet and sensual, their attitudes exciting and professional in their assignment. "They are fearless in front of the camera, willing to try anything and giving it their all." And from these images we’d say they sure did. And so did Frank. –B-

Thank You BeautifulMag for running this spread! It was indeed a Beautiful moment that FrankLouis captured.

Tony and I actually model quite frequently and make it to New York about every other weekend when we do not have our son, for work. Between my banking full time and Tony in the Mortgage industry we spend much of our time networking, shooting, and working out.

It is true, Tony and I met through modeling. However we never actually met physically until the day I moved in with him. Tony was in Pennsylvania and I was in Tennessee. Two months had passed from our first spotting the other online with constant talking on the phone, email, and text messaging to one another. From our first shoot together (our first Christmas card!) we knew we had something special.

I won't continue and bore you...if you want to know more just message us! We are both thrilled to be Featured here on BeautifulMag and encourage you all to stop by and see our whole portfolio of work on our web sites!

Love the natural lighting and the intimacy between the models. It adds a certain extra layer when the models are a couple in real life. Like the photos that Ritts and Bianci took of Bob and Rod Paris-Jackson. Real couple know what to bring out of each other and this is sure the case here. And, if the guys ever need a pitstop going to NYC tell them to drop by NE Philly. Be glad to put em up :-)
