Golden Hour

Photographers and models often speak about tension between artist and subject. And, oftentimes, the best art is created by photographers who authentically appreciate their subjects. But in reality, this tension is often accompanied by power dynamics that favor the photographer. We’ve all heard countless stories of hungry and eager models being taken advantage of by photographers with clout or industry connections. The promise of making it big becomes the justification for unwanted advances. In today’s video, we see that dynamic flipped. It’s the model who, through language and actions, seduces the photographer. The tired formula is turned on its head, and it’s the model who crosses boundaries to get what he wants. And even though he doesn’t hold the power, he is persistent and aggressive in pursuit of his desires. Nico and Ty are deeply sensual. In the many ways that their sex is different, it becomes a welcome break from the same old sex we often see depicted in gay porn. It’s enough to get anyone wet.
