Male Beauty Captured by Leigh Carter

With all my lists of favorites (photographers, actors, links) I worry some who deserve to be spotlighted get lost now and then. I have a fond place for those photographers who worked on posts with me early on, long before the blog was established and built an audience. Photographer Leigh Carter was one of the artists who worked with FH on several posts as the site developed.

Revisiting Leigh's site boy:gender last week reminded me what drew me to Leigh's work to begin with. Leigh's work may not have some of the razzel and flash of some of his contemporaries but his skill at capturing some of the UK's hottest men, especially with his black and whites, is undeniable. Leigh's images don't scream at you, they whisper softly and beautifully. When I was profiling Leigh's work with Nick Wolanski his focus on sensuality was how I was best able to put Leigh's work into words.

'What seems to streamline through all of his work is sensuality. Sensuality is, in essence, how in tune you are with your senses. Through Leigh's lens his models all seem be tuned in with their senses and their emotions.'
