BOY OF THE WEEK
15-Aug-09 by Paul Gunn
This week’s East Village boy of the Week is Michael, from New York
photographed for EVB by Paul Gunn
I shot this hotel room series in a simple room at the Hotel Chelsea early in the morning, armed with a hangover and no breakfast. Somehow I tend to become more inspired this way. I think Michael was eager to explore his sexuality in front of the camera, with mixed undertones of shyness and exhibitionism. These images translate almost as voyeuristic snapshots in a seedy motel, as Michael’s attention is focused on mundane tasks like brushing his teeth or changing his clothes. It appealed to me to have the opportunity to be in his space and make a mini photo diary of this daily routine. I think there’s something sexy in that. Like when you have a hot sleepover and you wake up to admire your mate sleeping or walking to the bathroom. But maybe that’s just me. I’m intrigued and maybe aroused by the beauty and simplicity in everyday things. Too much. -Paul Gunn

I love how these shots are simple yet arousing. They’re quite different and they have a nostalgic feel to them, for some reason.
Hope to see more of your work.

Number seven is excellent! But I love the other pics as well, the feeling in most pics is very “lazy, languid, melancholic-like”. Great job (and gorgeous model)!

Chelsea Handler said it best when she said the most unsexy thing in the world is a guy only wearing a t-shirt. Even this beautiful man cannot make the t-shirt only look work, bleh!
