Death of Youth: Nude Photo Galleries
"Death of Youth"
This project stems from the idea that when a man turns thirty, he
reaches a threshold where the possibility of fulfilling youthful
fantasies ceases to exist. I have aspired to create a project that not
only exemplifies the desires I had as a young man, but also illustrates
the desires of a man transitioning into a new life period. In this
sense, this series documents a lifestyle that I yearned for as a younger
man, and one that I possibly still crave. When I turned thirty, the
fantasy portrayed in these photographs became impossible: the person who
lives such a life must be born taller, better-looking, handsome,
charming, famous and wealthier than I. This project provided me with
closure as I concluded one segment of my life—my youth—and began
another. I named this series "Death of Youth" as a testament to growing
older and leaving my youth behind.
