Because, as much as it would just hurt, it’s kinda hot.

So, here is nearly 9 minutes of vintage footage of two bodybuilders posing nude for the camera… sounds hotter than I find it. I guess they are just too beefy for my tastes.

Amazing. Enough said.
I know a couple of bodybuilders and I would say, it has to be one of the most vain sports around. It is a sport solely and entirely devoted to how you look. I would also hazard a guess that, even for the straight guys, it’s about as gay as you can get. Sure it’s devoted to muscles and a perceived ideal of masculinity but it’s so waxed, fake tanned and preened it’s beyond belief. How many “straight” sports actually encourage straight men to wear very little and to look at other straight men and their bodies with a very keen eye.
This photo above made me laugh. Just how close to another man’s crotch can you get with fake tan before you feel a little gay?
To round off the four guys I shot last weekend, Jonathon was the reason any of the shoots happened at all. He was preparing for the Australian Bodybuilding Championships when we discussed recording his achievement just after the competition. As it turns out he went on to win Mr NSW. I took more photos of Jonathon than I did of the other 3 guys and that’s why I’ve put of sorting them out. There were 200 shots to go through.
He’s in incredible shape and is something like 19kg heavier than when I shot him last time. Congratulations Jonathon!
After some time off with moving, work and lately rehearsals, I’ve finally got plans for another photoshoot at the end of the month. I’ve shot Jonathan twice before, when he was ripped down for his first bodybuilding competition and now he’s 4 weeks out from another competition nearly two years later. He’s put on a massive amount of size and is keen to record his achievements once more. This upcoming shoot will be in a studio. We are going to get him the kind of typical beefcake shots that he wants and hopefully crank up the artistic factor for some for my portfolio. It’s exciting. I haven’t done a studio shoot for nearly two years and it’s a little daunting but in a great way.
This is an old video that I think has just made it to the web. Gratuitous beef, why would you argue?
Now, if I’m truly honest, these guys are too big for my taste but you have to admit they look pretty darned tasty. I’ve used the photo on the far left before on the blog, as gym motivation but I didn’t think anyone would complain about me using it again. Delicious, he’s not too big, he’s perfection.
I know he’s only young, but after stacking on 30lb of muscle for this movie, I feel it would be remiss of me NOT to drool over Taylor Lautner. Check out the body on this guy! I watched Twighlight a few months back and while I liked it, I don’t really get the freaky obsession, but with New Moon featuring hot buff werewolves walking around with their shirts off, I just may buy into the hysteria!
This guy is only 17 and such a baby but you can just tell that he’s going to grow up to be such a spunk when he gets a few more years under his belt. I do find it disturbing that I find a 17 year old sexy but that is definitely tempered by his age. I want to fast forward him to about 30 and see how he looks then.
You have to admire his discipline and drive. Since filming Twighlight, he’s stacked on 30lb of muscle for the sequel. That’s a massive amount of muscle, especially at that age.
Here’s the behind the scenes footage of yesterday’s shoot with James. Enjoy.
Aussielicious TV - Episode 7 - James the Bodybuilder from Brenton Parry on Vimeo.
The photoshoot today went really well. It was very relaxed, James was great to work with and I have to say, massive muscle aint my thing and damn, he’s got some size on him. The guy is 20 years old! I had a friend come along and video’d the shoot for me so that will be up some time over the next couple of days.
At one point James was posing in his underwear against the graffiti wall when a police wagon stopped in the middle of the intersection (we were on a corner in a fairly busy suburb in Sydney) and one of the cops leaned out the window of the wagon and yelled out “Put your clothes on!” So he did. The guy leaning out his window a few houses down and the family (including young kids) getting into their car all thought it was hilarious fun. The little boy said “Mum, that man is crazy!”
Sounds like a scene from a porno but sadly it didn’t descend quite to that level. We were in a back alley in Darlinghurst, shooting James when these two Mormons came down the alley on their way to harrass enlighten people to the wonderful world of oppression and bigotry in the name of love.
One of them seemed a little too happy to pose with James, while the other one seemed a little scared that he might catch “sinner” if he got too close. The dark haired one even said “we saw you from a distance and I said WOW he’s BUFF”. That was a little unexpected.
Later in the shoot James was in his underwear on a street corner posing when the police asked him to cover up. Oops. The family getting into their car thought it was hilarious.
In two hours time I’ll be wandering alleyways in Sydney photographing a young body builder. He’s in his early twenties and is bigger than I would ever dream of being or want to be, but he’s nowhere near big enough to keep himself happy.
He’s a cheeky shit and it will be a fun shoot. We aren’t doing nudes, a) because he won’t and b) because we are doing them in public streets in the middle of the day on the first day of a long weekend. It’s a very simple setup, sunlight, beefcake, camera. Oh and another friend is coming along to hold the reflector if i need it and to video it for an episode of Aussielicious TV.
