Adrianas

We often receive enquiries from would-be photographers asking for our suggestions on how to photograph a young man who's almost invariably described as "the best-looking boy I've seen in a very long time".

Sadly, the boy sometimes turns out to be of, at best, of marginal appeal to our members - and, even when we think that he might be a candidate as a future HMBoy, the quality of the submitted photographs rules out posting them on the site.

Fortunately, the lucky photographer who discovered young Adrianas seems to have known what he was doing and followed a few simple rules that, even in the absence of professional studio conditions, produced a set of rather impressive images.

Firstly, he used an interesting background - a couple of sheets of plain fabric that he draped in an elegant and visually-attractive way.

Secondly, he introduced a prop in the form of a small stool that allowed Adrianas to adopt several interesting poses instead of just standing still and facing the camera.

Thirdly, he clearly created a positive rapport with his model, so that Adrianas looks directly and confidently into the lens and smiles consistently at us viewers.

Just those three simple steps mean that here we have a very nice set of photographs indeed.

And, it goes without saying, it's no disadvantage whatsoever that young Adrianas is one of the cutest models we've seen for quite some time.
