February 02, 2026 6:08am hmmmmm when we (photogs) edit our female/model subjects we tend to eliminate skin flaws, smoothing/softening skin...
whereas in male subjects we often leave the natural imperfections in our editing...
increased muscularity???
this image is a good example.
I couldn't imagine improving this image with editing in that form.
the B&W, black void background and unidirectional light all fit the increased testosterone flowing out of this image.
very nice work
