"The Human Being and Body is a Fascinating and Awesome Art Form:
In Celebration and Appreciation of the Completely Natural Man."

Welcome and thanks for checking out my profile page and examples of my photography.

In addition to my regular work outside of this field, I am a semi-professional photographer and visual arts / photography student.

The town of Newmarket, where I live, is in the seacoast area of New Hampshire, about an hour north of Boston, Massachusetts. 

I am creating photographic fine art in (but not limited to) the states and provinces of the northeastern USA and southeastern Canada.

I am searching for handsome, masculine, completely natural* men; of all races, ethnicities, and nationalities; to photograph.
(*all hair kept natural - no trimming, no shaving, no waxing - full eyebrows, full underarms hair, full pubic hair, legs hair, etc.)

I realize and understand that everyone has a look that works for them, but it is masterpieces of handsome completely natural masculinity that I am interested in capturing.

The human being and body is an amazing and awesome art form; to admire, appreciate, compliment, and respect; to be presented in tasteful, artistic images.  This is my goal and my focus for my work.

You are welcome to connect with me in a message here at the Model Mayhem site, or at my email: fotograffix_by_jake@yahoo.com

In my Lists section below, the photographs and mixed media that I have included consist of only a subset or fraction of the many brilliant and excellent images at this site.  Congratulations to all the models and photographers / artists for their contribution to the Model Mayhem collection.

Also, several Model Mayhemers have asked me what I use for the criteria for the placement of an image into my lists.  I select a photograph for my lists as a compliment or a commendation to a model or to a photographer / artist.  The image can feature an outstanding model, or it can be an exceptional photograph aesthetically and technically, or it can be something especially clever and unusual, or it can be a combination of these qualities presented together.

POWER Lyrics:

1.  Just give me the warm power of the sun
     Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
     Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay
     Just give me the restless power of the wind
     Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
     But please take all your atomic poison power away

2.  Everybody needs some power I'm told
     To shield them from the darkness and the cold
     Some may seek a way to take control when it's bought and sold
     I know that lives are at stake
     Yours and mine and our descendants in time
     There's so much to gain and so much to lose
     I'd say everyone of us has to choose

Repeat: 1. ... Instrumental: a. ... Repeat: 1. ... Instrumental: b. ... Conclusion.

Also from the 1979/1980 No Nukes documentary and concert film soundtrack:

Written by Chet Powers.
Released by Jesse Colin Young and The Youngbloods.

GET TOGETHER Chorus:

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Musicians United for Safe Energy, or MUSE, is an activist group founded in 1979 by Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Bonnie Raitt, and John Hall. Being against the use of nuclear energy, the group seeks alternative energy sources, and formed shortly after the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in March of 1979. MUSE organized a series of five No Nukes concerts held at Madison Square Garden in New York in September of 1979. On September 23, 1979, almost 200,000 people attended a large rally staged by MUSE on the then-empty north end of the Battery Park City landfill in New York.

Other musicians performing at the concerts included Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band; James Taylor; Carly Simon; Chaka Khan; The Doobie Brothers; Jesse Colin Young; Gil Scott-Heron; Tom Petty; Poco; and others. The album No Nukes, and a film, also titled No Nukes, were both released in 1980 to document the performances.
