Shadow dancing

Buster Sly (often just "Sly" to his friends) is beautiful and sexy man, besides being a talented and versatile performer both on and off the adult video screen. I was lucky to make his acquaintance a few years back, and luckier still to have him join me for a Nakedism video and photo shoot last autumn.

It was a hot session, and Nakedism chief photographer Andrew Adam Caldwell captured many eye-catching and mouth-watering images that day. I hope to post more of them in the future. But this first set focuses on Andy's artistry at working not only with models but also the shadows they cast.

Why care about shadows? Perhaps because less is more: Shadows always suggest more than they show. Body shadows can be beautiful yet cryptic, erotic but not explicit.

Shadows also provide a haunting symbol of sex itself: These ephemeral shapes not only mirror the naked bodies who cast them, but serve as a metaphor for the passionate acts they imply — simple, dark, and fleeting, but also compelling, entertaining, and fun.
