WHEN PHOTOGRAPHER JAY DIERS INVITED US ALL ON A VIRTUAL ROAD TRIP TO THE MOTELS OF THE UNITED STATES BACK IN 2007, WE HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THE LAST TRIP WE WOULD TAKE WITH HIM. UNTIL TODAY THAT IS. JAY HASN’T PUBLISHED A BOOK SINCE TWO YEARS AND WE ARE ACTUALLY QUITE HAPPY ABOUT THAT. AFTER ALL, IT MAKES JAY THE PERFECT OPENING ACT FOR OUR UPCOMING BOOK BEAUTIFULVISION.
After the successful release of A Night At The Motel in 2007, Iowa based photographer Jay Diers took a well-thought through step back and a critical look at his work so far. Having done his style for about 4 years, Jay felt the urge for e new direction in his male nude photography. And so Jay started to experiment and eventually created a new artistic style of which we are witness here today.
Jay Diers met Jose about 5 years ago online. Discovering a mutual interest in salsa music and Cuban jazz, both men hit it off immediately, which eventually resulted in talk about Jay’s work and a one time shoot. Their friendship lasted less than 6 months until Jay lost track of Jose. Now we all know what a blessing social networking websites can be, and so it happened that once again, jay came in contact with Jose not too long ago. Once again they ended up having great conversations about their musical interests. Once again Jay invited Jose for a shoot and once again Jose happily accepted.
It was a cloudy Sunday afternoon when Jay Diers and Jose met for their second photoshoot in 4 and a half years time, and it was like Jose and Jay’s camera had been together for years. Having expressed the explicit wit-sh to be shot in his soccer gear Jose quickly go dressed for the first series, and just as quickly took it all off feeling as comfortable as any long term friend can be. Hence this series of Jose by Jay Diers that, even though almost 5 years after their first work together, has such a casual sexy look and feel. If you ask us, beautiful material for a new Jay Diers publication. –B-
JAY DIERS | BEAUTIFUL
Jay and Jose make a great team. This beautiful portfolio of their second time around together leaves us longing for a third, fourth, fifth, etc.

It's so refreshing to see that there are still men out there that can be buff without having to shave and wax off their body and pubic hair. I think this guy is so hot because he has a great body and a nice bush to top it off.

what exactly is new about any of these shots? not one thing about them has not been done before. most of the pictures actually combine things that have been done before that have been combined together before. whole thing reminds me of pictures robbie williams the uk singer has posed for.
