Image of the day is *Sculpted in Tree* an in-camera double exposure on film.

I'm finally getting the opportunity again to shoot male models. I've always found it more difficult to recruit male models for this project, and it's much harder work, simply because I lack the spontaneous vocabulary that we all have for female nudes, having been exposed to a lot more of it in advertising and media. Which makes it all the more interesting. This is a simple pose to start with, very statuesque.

Is it because men in general is more likely to say no to do nudes, or do they feel more uncomfortably of some other reasons? Or did you meant that it is harder for you to ask men to pose in front of the camera?

Very interesting, and I really like that you choose to not only photograph women.

@ambivalena I've been shooting men from day one, but finding models is much harder. I can only speculate, but I think it's a social construct whereby posing for photographs in a studio is somehow a "female" thing, let alone nude posing.
