Top 3: Themes

Following up on my recent Close-up post about taste in models, I thought it would be fun to compare notes a little more directly.

In this series of 5 posts I'll be sharing small sample groups of models, photographers, and classic physique themes and asking for your personal Top 3. Feel free to rank the choices I post, mix and match, or throw in your own wild-card picks entirely. I'm only showing a tiny sampling in each category, but trying to represent a decent range of tastes and styles.

**For this one you're voting on the Themes (rather than the models) from the 9 options below. 

I'll hold off on sharing my own picks until the end of each day.

Theme of the day: Themes


1. Sailors - Josh Long            2. Cowboys - Chuck Gatlin



3. Construction Worker - Paul Baressi       4. Leather - Lester Branch



5. Gym - Tom Platz                             6. Sports - Tony Regalia



7. Studio shots:  Unknown Model             Bart Forbes aka Adam Hammer



8. Domestic:  George Conover                 Al Cavuoto



9. Outdoor:  Glen Kinkead aka Gary Segar       Tom Jerome


Please rank your Top 3 in the comments or offer other themes you'd rank higher.  I also wouldn't mind hearing any reasons for your picks.

Of these themes the votes are:

1. Domestic shots
2. Sailors, Cowboys, Construction, Sports, Studio, and Outdoors tied
3. Leather
