IT IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE THAT IN THE 21ST CENTURY WE ARE STILL HAVING SO MANY PREJUDICES AND STEREOTYPES. THE BIGGEST AND MOST COMMON ABOUT RACE OF COURSE. THAT IS WHY IT IS SUCH A BLESSING THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE RICARDO MUNIZ WHO ARE FIGHTING TO MAKE A CHANGE. AND THAT IS WHY IT IS SUCH A BLESSING FOR US TO COUNT HIM AMONG OUR FRIENDS.
Latino’s are all strippers and sex objects. It would almost be funny if it wasn’t such a serious stereotype prejudice. Ricardo Muniz is a New York based photographer who, over the years, has taken it as his mission to change this general and small-minded opinion about Latin models. And not without result. About three years ago he launched Deilín Sanz, a model who definitely can be categorized as one of his muses. And Deilín is living proof that hard work leads to good results. Deilín Sanz is of course not the only model in the colorful portfolio of photographer Ricardo Muniz. We have had the privilege to introduce many of his men here on BeautifulMag and today is no exception.
Sancocho is a Caribbean latino stew, where everything but the kitchen sink is thrown into a pot and slow-cooked until you get a nice, thick, meaty concoction. This is how Ricardo Muniz described the series he sent in for our consideration. We have to say, we are not quite sure if we agree with the mix and match image we get when hearing Ricardo’s explanation, but we do like the nice, meaty and slow-cooked sensation. Sex objects or not, there is no doubt Ricardo’s men are hot.
It is not the first time we realize Ricardo Muniz' work always has a darker, more rough undertone. Maybe it is because Ricardo lives and works in a the big city of New York, but his work really has that masculine, sexy, urban emotion. Not something you would expect in a swimwear shoot. But we are certainly not complaining. Ricardo Muniz’ Sancocho is a mix of Latin, white, Asian and West Indian models with swimwear from ES Collection, Vizeau, AussieBum and Wettackle. Yes, if Ricardo mixes, he mixes well. –B-
Perfect Butts, Bods and Beauty! Ricardo is superb x

So what's wrong with being a stripper or a sex object? Just kidding! Ricardo Muniz' Sancocho certainly contains a delicious mix of meaty men of many ethnic backgrounds. These beautiful models look just terrific in their swimwear. Please send over a very large serving of Ricardo's Sancocho. I'm getting hungry!
