Some pics of me...artistic maybe...

[radical matt]

Yeah, decided why not. They're in my gallery.

Before you ask, I'm shy and this IS the internet, so no face right now. ^_^ Sides, I took them for the purpose I actually say in the captions; artistic. I wanted to see what I could do with light and shading and black and white and try to accentuate countours and muscle and stuff. And I found out my camera can do black and white, which is awesomely cool. Unfortunately, I'm the only model I have, and I'm not a photographer by profession/major...but I am artistic, visual, and a person that looks at shapes and angles from both the scientific/mathematic/anylitical side and the artistic one...or at least I try. ^_^ So yeah. They aren't steamy or sexual or pornographic (you won't actually SEE bare butt or privates or anything...so sorry, but if that's what you wanna see, you should browse some of the other wonderful galleries here that have that stuff. ^_^), but maybe they can be somewhat erotic, I dunno.

In they end, probably not artistic to anyone else, but knowing where muscles are and how they move helps me in my drawing, and it's kinda cool to look at. The Human body truly is a work of art...even if my own isn't really toned or muscular or a work of art yet. ^_^;

Those are pretty good. You have a hot body and the angles are cool, so its a pretty nice set overall. lol

Nice work, Matt. And nice Matt, Matt.

Good to see someone else interested in artistic selfpics. I like the black and white. I usually add a bit of colour and do a bit of photoshopping.
I would like to see some of your drawings.

I liked them! Nice that you are exploring the medium. I was going to call you a blockhead as a joke then decided not to. LOL

 

[buzzj]

That's a fine gallery! Let us know as you add more pix!

 

[REALWILDARKIEHERE]

I agree with Sofa King, good angles and very very nice body

Ain't nothin' to be ashamed of there Matt!

Well, I think it is very nice for a begining. You have a very beautiful body. I guess I don't consider the nude necesarily erotic, I like the form. I have seen some awesome nudes and non-nudes, it is the composition that makes the pic imho. I would like to see you experiment with form...find some backgrounds that complement your form and angles and superimpose with your photo processor. those would be cool. Thanks.

Huh, interesting. I'm not sure I'll ever be good enough to do stuff like that, though...and keep in mind, I'm my only model, and have about 5 seconds to get in position before the camera takes the picture. ^_^ I also only have my room in my apartment, anywhere else in the world I can't, erm, take pics like this. ^_^;

As for the editing stuff, I don't have any editing program other than MS Paint, which, while potentially potent if you use it right, is still pretty limited.


So yeah, I'm a total amature and don't really have the money/facilities/experience to do much else. ^_^ After all, I just do this for fun cause I think it's neat, and who knows? Maybe someday something will come of it and I can make art, either as a model, photographer, or both. Until then, I just use what I've got and have fun wit it. ^_^
