He is also a self-portraitist of considerable skill and flair.
Like me, has a penchant for unusual angles.
Unlike me, he has the technical skill to pull them off.
Even when things get a bit tricky:
His towering angles are almost sculptural.
And his dramatic facial expressions provide a delightful contrast.
Little wisps of facial hair come and go, along with his chubbies.
And he's not the slightest bit afraid of appearing un-fluffed.
In fact, he seems to revel in it:
And then he gives us good David, just because he can:
His choice of backdrop is equally inspired, even for the close-ups.
But who could resist this delicious low-level angle?
And the foreshortening effect of the high level is always very welcome.
Let's end this post of praise here, where the colours of the wall tiles provide a striking skin tone for our heroic photographer/model as he takes a well-earned, relaxing bath.
I am utterly in love with both him and his talent. Genius!

Very nice indeed. Do you know who he is and where he's from?
Semi fluffed in the crazy stripe T-shirt? Nice work!
Anonymous: Yes, indeed I do.
Chris: Thanks very much, glad you liked it -- though the real work is of course the photographer's rather than mine.
It doesn't hurt that, aside from his photographic talent, he's absolutely gorgeous and I, for one, would love to have his babies.
I'd have said [pace tyncanman] that artistic ability will produce worthwhile results even when you aren't absolutely gorgeous. Surely, he's physically a perfectly ordinary youth without any special claim to beauty? His pictures are something else.
viollet, I agree that artistic ability will produce beauty from perfectly ordinary, and even ugly, specimens, no matter what the field of endeavour. Whistler's mother, for example.
But in as much as I have a type, this guy is my type. And I find his eyes amazingly soulful, which for me is almost a definition of gorgeousness and attraction.
