What is the Everyday Man Project?
The everyday man is your next door neighbor, that bearded guy you just passed on the street, the guy with the "dad bod" or the urban hipster look - basically someone who is rugged, masculine looking and handsome, maybe even ethnic. It's the inked guys, farmers, red-necks, carpenters and construction workers, bikers, musicians, military personnel, and the guy working at the local pub, bank or convenient store. The Everyday Man is not a professional model or shredded gym bunny. They are men, between 18 and 60 but mostly in their 20's and 30's however, age sometimes makes a man more handsome with the onset of smile lines or a touch of gray hair. Some might call this look on a man a "bear" but whatever you call it, I call it the everyday man. If you are looking for fashion and fitness models, this isn't the place for you.
The project is my photography work with everyday men. I am a Pogonophile (beard lover) on myself and on others, I like ink and the rough and tumble kinda guys, I like as in, I like to photograph them. It's a project because one day I hope to publish a book of these images.
Most of the audience of my
work and blog, at least from those that contact me, tend to be women. I mostly
shoot straight men anyway, so why not cater to the crowd that follows me. If
you prefer looking at or wanting to see the big beefy gym bod model kinda guy,
then there are plenty of places online to find them. But if you are more into
the ruggedly handsome, perhaps bearded guy then where do you turn? You turn to
the Everyday Man Project.
Below are some image of men that I have shot in the past and will do a blog feature on them sometime in the future. But new "models" or guys I find
on the street, in the store, at the doctor's office or at a party will always take precedence.
Feel free to comment and/or ask questions. If you are yourself an "everyday" man and want to model for me, please contact me. Or if you know of someone, have a husband, brother or friend who you would like to see featured, send me a message.
Please enjoy.
I also do Fine Art Nude photography and am always looking for models and volunteers, both men & women, str8 or gay.
