Beautiful Cupid - Ryan!
















This was a great photoshoot, Ryan really brought 'it' to the shoot. Ranging from cute and innocent to raunchy and broken-down, he brought the concept to life!

Vamp Love
















Inspired by the tv show "The Lair", these photos are from a series taken at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel. The models brought a lot to the shoot, delivering on my vision of moody and dangerous sensuality...

New model Jason!

These shots of Jason were taken at a local hotel's abandoned ballroom - apparently untouched since the '50s... Great model, great location!

What's he looking at?


It must be the beautiful blue water - not the murky green water poor Mardi had to sit in for some of the shots :P

The upcoming week in photoshoots
















Getting ready for a cool shoot this afternoon with Justin. You'll never look at ice cream the same way again! After that, 3 more shoots over the next week with Jason, Ryan, David and Marvin. Stay tuned and come back frequently to see the results!
In the meantime, enjoy these shots of Mardi taken at Toronto's Hanlan Point a week before the city workers' strike cut off access to Toronto Island. More pix of Mardi can be found at www.modelmayhem.com/christeel

Liam
















A talented dancer, these pictures come from Liam's first official photoshoot a few weeks ago.










A little nervous at first, Liam quickly warmed up and used his flexibility and strength to deliver great shots! Additional images can be seen at www.modelmayhem.com/christeel - check them out!










Welcome!

For those of you who don't follow me on Facebook, Model Mayhem or other networking sites, my name is Chris and I am a photographer based out of Toronto, Ontario.

I could shoot pretty pictures of vases, or 'do' weddings but my interest lies mostly in capturing artistic images of the male physique. Previously a hobby, I started focussing (pun intended) on shooting male models about 8 months ago and absolutely love doing what I'm doing. I enjoy the entire process from conceptualizing an idea, to casting for models, hunting for props and doing the shoot itself. At the end of the day, its all about delivering an image and I get a lot of satisfaction when the model and/or client reacts positively to the work done.

I've met a lot of great people over a short period of time and am working towards doing this professionally, for the rest of my life :)

Along with pictures posted on my Facebook (link to follow) and Model Mayhem (www.modelmayhem.com/christeel), I will be posting images from my photoshoots here on my blog. The images here MAY, on occasion, be a bit more explicit than those found on FB or MM due to their posting rules. Therefore, do not view the content posted here unless you are of legal age to do so in your area (there - legalities are out of the way!).

I am ALWAYS looking for male models, comfortable with their bodies, interested in posing for artistic shots. I have a lot of concepts I want to explore and am willing to incorporate your ideas as well. Shoots are always professional in nature and a lot of fun! As I'm building my portfolio, I am looking for models also interested in building theirs. You don't need to be experienced, just willing to try something new! You will get copies of the pictures in exchange for your time. Touch base if you're interested (Facebook me, or email me at cteelphoto@gmail.com).

Check back on a regular basis for new shots and follow me as I continue on my journey!
