Paul is visiting Vienna for a weekend again, and of course he takes the opportunity for another shooting. As Benno is for some shots at the studio as well that day, they decide to take a photo series together …

Again some time has passed, and Paul, whose fair hair is originally of a dark golden tone, now has dyed his hair to a bright blond colour. He poses at our studio flat in Vienna for a couple of classic beauty portraits …

The months have passed since his first session in spring. Now it’s autumn, and Romeo is back for some fresh portraits for his comp card. The first part of the new shooting takes place in the historic city of Vienna …

Romeo continues his outdoor shooting in the Prater, Vienna’s forest park. At the end of October, the trees have changed their colour from green to yellow, and the fallen leaves are covering the ground all around …

The late October sun dips the scenery into an orange light. It is still pleasingly warm this afternoon, and Romeo can wear a tee for this session. As it gets colder towards the evening, he takes on a woolen coat …

Back in the studio, Romeo wants to do another underwear shooting. For the first set, we choose a bright frontal light that depicts his athletic body and the blue briefs in a typical fashion magazine front page style …

For this set of Romeo’s underwear shooting, we set a backlight from the left side behind him. Lit from behind in front of a black background, the contours of Romeo’s muscular body now come out much more defined …

After some warm-up exercises in jockstrap and socks, Axel now wants to do what he has actually come for: taking a couple of sporty nudes. So he takes off his clothes and continues his stretching in the nude …

Max is a young waiter with a sporty body and a prominent m-swastika tattoo like Marilyn Manson on his chest. He actually applied for an explicit session to make some money. Yet, as we also start the explicit series with a set of classic portraits, we took some good ones of him as well …

Romeo is a handsome economics student who also works as an actor and model. He wanted some new pics for his comp card and applied for a couple of fashion and lifestyle shots. Initially intending to do only one shooting, he enjoyed it so much that he frequently returned for more sessions …

Gabriel is an easygoing guy who wants to pose for a couple of classic lifestyle shots and some artful nudes. Although he is a bit shy at first, he becomes more and more relaxed during the session and in the end we also shoot some covered art nudes for which he oils up his well-defined body …

Carsten is a typical blond Bavarian surfer boy who loves to ride the waves. He lives in Munich and often surfs the rapids of the local rivers.

Lars is a typical northern boy – tall, blond, blue-eyed, uninhibited. So, he applied for some dreamy portraits and a series of nude shots of himself. His slim but well-defined body, untrimmed body hair, and natural appearance characterise him as a true nature boy who shows what he’s got …

Tom is a guy that we would classify as the typical nature boy. With his curly blond hair, blue eyes, and athletic body, he is the perfect model for romantic shots in a nature setting. As he likes to show himself in the nude, we shot our first full frontals with him – and the first outdoor nudes as well …

Tobias is a real nature boy. He spends a lot of time in the countryside, and it was thus just natural to have our first outdoor shooting with him at a lake near his home. For the first session with him, however, we met at our attic studio to take some more experimental conceptual shots …

Oliver is the first nude model of Artus’ Portraiture Project. At his first shooting, he was 19 years old and still looked a bit like a hippie boy with his long hair.
