@Tarrou10 I really like your art. Very powerful and masculine.

I continue to shoot and edit while I struggle with the question of how involved I want to be with this platform going forward. While I ponder, here's work from a recent session with Nicholas in the studio. [@nickwithmuscles on Instagram]

A couple more new edits of Mitch in Fire Island Pines last month. . . (@mitch.ito on Instagram)

Spent a week tweaking devices, networks and connections to work with a new router. Ugh, what a pain.

Back to work, focusing this week on last month's session on Fire Island. Here come more shots of Mitch.

One more new edit from Bond Brown's archived files. I'm enjoying the updated selection tools in the latest version of Photoshop. We were shooting the model in the sun room of a friend's Florida home while he was on a break from school.

An unexpected edit...

Tonight, I've been scrolling through my archives looking for content requested by a publication. In the process, I downloaded Photoshop 2023. At one point I randomly pulled this image of Bond out of the archive to play with Photoshop's new features.

Mitch was the second of the three models with us in Fire Island in September.

A cool outdoor shower in a showcase house was a natural setting for Mitch's toned torso. (mitch.ito on IG)

More shots from the day can be found on our website.

Here are some more shots from this year's session on Fire Island. Bruce was one of three models we shot in some iconic locations in Fire Island Pines.

Below is the photo that got the studio's Instagram account deleted (or put into deep suspension).

I've been plagued with a troller for almost a year now, reporting just about every other post I've made. Most were innocuous images and were reinstated by Instagram. Not this one.

The popular model has become an accomplished photographer as well. Follow his work on Instagram at @serg_shepard or here on Twitter at @SergeySheptun

More from our work with the Ukrainian model, Sergey.

[New Manhattan Studios @NewManhattanStd]

When last we shared our work with Sergey, the war in Ukraine had just begun. Many deadly months later, his countrymen have shown encouraging progress on the battlefield. It's time to wave the blue and gold flag again with some new images of the Ukrainian model.

More models to come from our 2022 trip to Fire Island

[New Manhattan Studios @NewManhattanStd]

We were shooting on the bay side of the island in the bright September light. Couldn't have had a better venue! More from the series can be found on our website: https://t.co/5PWJsqVIqI

Bruce Harris is one of three models that we shot on Fire Island this year. He bid on and won a fitness session that we had donated to a silent auction for this year's Pines Party charity. He's one incredibly fit dude for any age and a great addition to the studio's portfolio.

[New Manhattan Studios @NewManhattanStd]

The model is an accomplished dancer (and dance instructor). Long, limber limbs. . .perfect subject matter! NMS photos by @nyc_kolombian
