From the side, the male anatomy becomes almost pure geometry. A cylinder and sphere resting on a living stage, or a tree standing proudly beside the bush. I love the contrast between the soft hair and firm muscle, the weight of what's hanging in front, and those powerful, rounded glutes holding up the heavy equipment.

There's something sculptural about these profiles, especially when the photographer uses light and shadow to emphasize the contours. Without a face or familiar pose to distract us, we can appreciate the body as an arrangement of shapes and textures. Of course, the subject matter makes it a little difficult to stay entirely objective.
