This week’s East Village Boy of the Week is Artem, from New York (via Russia)
Photographed for EVB by J. Yatrofsky
I only shot some test pics of Artem the first time I met him. He was alluringly beautiful so I asked him back for a second shoot. I wanted to see how far he would go and how much he would trust me. Photographing a person is a collaborative process for me - I have to work with what they give me. Lately I’ve been doing this in my apartment. Being in someone’s home gives a sense of comfort to a subject and they then give more to the shoot. Plus it’s always fun to get a stranger in your bed. -J. Yatrofsky
Jessica is casting a male lead for her independent feature film that she shooting this fall. If you’d like to be in it, (and why wouldn’t you!) email a head shot and a body shot to editor@eastvillageboys.com and we’ll pass them along to her.

The first image alone is EVERYTHING. Wonderful series, and Artem is so beautiful. I can’t wait to shoot him myself.
