Matthew Brookes for Hercules Magazine

I rarely look at men's magazines but it's exciting when I do because men's fashion and portraiture photography is so different than what is being produced for for womens magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair. We see raw and gritty images with men who have clean, young, and very often feminine yet muscular faces.This is a shoot that really stood out to me from the Hercules magazine September '08 issue and I really can't wait to set up an outdoor studio...
