Emerson is a leather man, a drag queen, and so many other things. As we began our shoot last Sunday, he expressed that he wants to show the blurred line between masculine and feminine. He's a hot guy in a leather skirt, or jeans and candy red heels. He is not binary; he is Duality. [Link to photo]

TC and Chuck make an unexpected move

]]> everett@everettallenphotography.com (Everett Allen Photography) https://www.everettallenphotography.com/blog/2014/9/rivals Fri, 19 Sep 2014 10:37:30 GMT A Hot Weekend in Wisconsin! https://www.everettallenphotography.com/blog/2014/9/a-hot-weekend-in-wisconsin I just came back from a hot and sexy weekend at the Mr. Wisconsin Leather 2015 contest. So many handsome men from Wisconsin and beyond. Many of the 2014 title holders from across the country were on hand to celebrate Mr. Wisconsin Leather 2014 - TC Hammond's step down, and to welcome the new title holder, Will Boyd-Bohaczek. Between the contest events, I also had the pleasure to photograph a couple of the Kink U demo events. Nothing like seeing hot men in singlets wrestling or being pups! See more photos here.

The last print is an odd size and will require a little help from my friend Don tomorrow.

I took a couple months off from the camera to work on some web and design projects. Now all of a sudden I am back behind the camera (and sometimes in front as you can see above) for several upcoming projects which I'll be posting soon.

I was invited to judge the Mr. Twin Cities Leather contest this weekend, which I of course said yes too! This didn't mean I was without my camera though, and I took a few hundred photos of the weekend that I'm happy to share here.

I think cowboys are even sexier than leather men. In my mind that are so similar, this archetype of masculinity. I was very happy when Tommy suggested that he want to do a photos session with me wearing his cowboy gear. Tommy is a beautiful young man, and he was looking extra cowboy scruffy for our shoot.Just Passing Through

Allen is this wonderfully intense kind of person, but when he poses he’s able to achieve this amazing kind of sadness.
 
We were shooting in Rich’s studio, early evening around seven. We were just about to lose our natural lighting, so I asked Allen to sit right in the window frame to utilize as much of the remaining light as possible.
