How would you characterize your style?
Style is something that just happens. It comes out of you. I've always liked the black-and-white style from the 80s—that Bruce Webber look. I use him a lot as an example—and he's terrific—but he's got that distance. It's like the Ambercrombie stuff, which says, Look, but don't come in. We're another class. Stay out there and watch us. I hope my stuff is friendlier.
I definitely go for the tease element in the work I've published. I don't know if I want to use the term "erotica," which often seems too close to "pornography." After I look at porn, I leave it there; I don't really fantasize about it afterward. But other types of images stay with me. Like, why were those guys looking at each other like that? Are they gay, are they straight? My goal is to leave something to the imagination. It's more like storytelling—you start asking more of the model than is shown in the photo. I do draw on classic images, like Greco-Roman wrestling or the cowboy and Indian thing. I love the image of a black guy and a white guy wrestling down on a river bed in next to nothing.

That is true twins tend to be closer to each other. Because I think that twins can be the best of friends that any othe thing on earth. I really like this pic, cuz it shows how close they are and how much they love each other. I also like the way the picture is developed cuz tone of the picture bring out everything in this pic such as the lighting of picture brings out thiere smiles between the both of them, and the definition of there bodies. their both hotties
