"Rugged."  "Hard-working".  "Handsome".  "Classically good-looking".  "Powerful".  "Strong".

I see all of this and more when I look into the eyes of the man sitting in front of my lens.

I see "playfulness" and "tenderness",too...especially with family.

​

Whether reserved or "out there and in-your-face" ; there is nothing quite like the energy of a man. 

​

That's why Men are my favorite to photograph in black & white, especially.
