Centre stage

Every time I think my favourite pornographer has reached his peak, he exceeds himself.

This, his latest series, features a San Francisco-based opera singer.

He captures the man's beauty, of course, but also his reflective intelligence.

Everything about him is grounded but elegant.

Even the "mad" pose with a frog with which he finishes.

Stunning work: like the best portraiture, I feel I know the subject a little bit better.
