New York’s Central Park is a bucolic refuge, a relief from the noise of the city’s traffic and a release from the crush of its citizenry. During the North American summer it is an island of green rising from a heated and steaming sea of concrete, glass and steel.  I want to show the beauty and the sexual tension that rises like steam during the dog days by accompanying José on an afternoon stroll in the park. - Greg Reynolds

People have often asked me to shoot them nude, but for the first time, I asked someone to pose nude for me. For this project I pushed away many of my comfort zones in order to tap into the emotions needed to make it a success. Concentrating on the fragility and beauty of the model, this shoot felt very personal because it was all about my ability to make Alex feel comfortable in front of me. His vulnerability and desire to collaborate allowed me to tap into the spontaneity of photography, which I now realize is the most satisfying place to be. - Franco Deleo

This week’s East Village Boy of the Week is Mody, from New York, via Amsterdam

I met my good friend Mody about eight or nine years ago while living in Amsterdam. As an Arab guy, we were always skeptical that he’d get a visa to come to New York City with me, but he got lucky and was able to, so we went around the city together and this is what I shot. Unfortunately, all of the “see something say something” propaganda was a bit gloomy, but we always have fun anyway! - Bobby Collins

This week’s East Village Boy of the Week is Andrew, from Glasgow, Scotland

I met Andrew through Daniel Stern, my partner at Les Garçons De Glasgow. Being a street style photographer I mostly concentrate on the way people wear their clothes and the style they portray through this. I started shooting Andrew as a typical fashion/style shoot in my apartment, however the more we photographed the more I saw his personality through his body, not his clothing. He stripped a layer at a time, and eventually got to the state which truly showed the persona he has. I think I managed to capture a Glasgow boy with true style. - Jonathan Pryce

This week’s East Village Boy of the Week is JFernando, from Medellín, Colombia

I love the power of images and sounds. I like to experiment with nudity and the magic it contains, creating stories with dolls and toys. They become silent witnesses to my wishes.
