If there’s any editorial shoot out there that depicts masculinity so perfectly, it has got to be the Motor Bikers editorial shoot lensed by photographer Matthias Vriens-McGrath for December 2011 issue of Têtu magazine.
Styled by Nicholas Klam, hunky model trio Jason Morgan, Cory Bond, and Eric Bivoino have oblong faces, well-built bodies and clothes smeared with motor oil as they pose for Matthias’ camera in a garage of metal chains and of course, their beloved motorbikes.
The models don reflective plastic tops from Raf Simons, Jean Paul Gaultier leggings, Calvin Klein cotton shorts, Guess denim vests, Paul Smith transparent printed tops and Bl33n t-shirts, among several others.
The Motor Bikers shoot by Matthias Vriens-McGrath for Têtu magazine is bound to make the ladies swoon over the trio.
