There's nothing subtle about these spreads of Matthieu Charneau by Rick Day, and looks as though the photographer has worked carefully to keep these images PG-13.
The muscular male model is certainly a sight for sore eyes, and in these pictures he's captured in the perpetual state of peeling off everything he's wearing. Even the underwear, the bodysuits and the beaters that he wears barely cover his tantalizingly toned body.
The observer of this editorial essentially gets a series of strip tease stills in which the look on the subject's face begs for attention. His glance at the lens of the camera reveals affectionate eyes with a hint of vulnerability. With his name and a star scrawled across his chest, wouldn't these photos of Matthieu Charneau by Rick Day (or perhaps the real thing) be a provocative surprise on your doorstep?
