Description
I was very privileged to work with some of the best bodies in the world of bodybuilding for many years..... and from this I have an incredible archive of images of both male and female form.. I hope to pick a fine selection in time to share with you all.
cheers
Carl
p.s. isn't it funny that male nipples do not warrant a nudity warning!
why is that?

Good reflection on the nipple subject matter... there is no justice in this world, isn't it? ;) This is such a great photo, stunning work!

A solid fellow to be sure! The monochrome and lighting really highlights his sculpted muscles. Excellent work, my friend!

Wow, cool bod. With regards to nipples: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Nipple-Non-Grata/214223 Makes you think, who makes the rules?

Superb photo. As hard and magnificent as his body is, I like the contrast of the unbreakable iron against the softness of flesh, and the concept that even the strongest are vulnerable. CC

First off...LOVE the subject matter!!! lol... And then, of course the image. Amazing light and the folds of cloth are even perfect. Excellent!

Fantastic photo! The hard iron chains against the hard-body.. Great model posing..:)

Oh my, this is beautiful. I love the black and white tones. The lighting is perfect :o)

Very Bruce Weber. I love the tone & full but softer contrast. Well done!

That is an awesome photo with wonderful lighting. I like that the face doesn't show. All the focus is on the body.

Absolute perfection in Black and White.

whos sneaking pictures of me ;)

WOW!! What a very clear and crisp shot and what a clever concept! And the pose, the dropped overall, the skin makes me wonder if the face of this fellow is as impressing as his body.

Terrific, dramatic image! Actually, I had to look you up as I was impressed with your written comments on Vapos work. Your remarks are very intelligent and well thought out.

LENK911 () 7:02PM | Mon, 03 January 2011
HOLY COW! YOU SHOULD POST A SERIES OF B&W PHOTOGRAPHS LIKE THIS. IT REALLY SHOWCASES YOUR TALENT.

That is a beautiful, beautiful photo--I love that it's black and white, with almost a silvery sheen to it. Boris Vallejo did a book of his "reference photos" a while back (i think it was called "Bodies") and it had a similar feel to this--I've always regretted I didn't get the book, because the standard of photography was like this all through it.

lovely study in light and form Carl, love the tied down clothing too, were I capable, I think this is the kind of clothing I'd make instead of all this body conscious stuff that is churned out — now V4 in the same pose and clothing... hmmm...

Beautiful shoot - Another exemple of power of black and white ! Excellent work !

ahhahah isn't that funny? women's nipples make men think of things,that's why!!!

How on earth did I missed this one! It looks to me it's one over the top! It goes to show that when the ambiance lighting is just right, perfection is only a few step away!
