I had photographed Ben and his husband Stephane together, and I had photographed Stephane for another project but

I hadn’t done a shoot with only Ben. We had talked about it but couldn’t make our initial concept happen. So one slightly gloomy morning we went down to the nude beach and Ben spent quite a bit of time upside down. Ben is an ex-gymnast, singer, actor and Burlesque performer so he’s used to not wearing much while under watchful eyes. Sadly there was no appreciative audience on the morning of our shoot.
