Besides being incredibly sexy, there is something fasinating to me about photographer, model and artist Alexsander Fernandez. Alexsander, who lives and works in San Jose, Costa Rica not only is shown in each of the photos I have included in this post, he also took them all. Although he shoots other models, my favorite photo's are his self portraits.
Most people I know hate having thier picture taken. Most hate how they look in pictures. Most of us cannot believe how we sound on answering machines. That is why Alexsander's work speaks so loudly to me. As most of us hide our way through much of our day, Alexsander spotlights his beauty, both outward and inner. It speaks to his confidence, not only about his appearance, but about self that Alexsander has chosen himself to be the subject of so much of his work. Alexsander simply is what many of us strive to be.
Although Alexsander is not a professional model, he certainly knows how to bring out the best in his subjects. Alexsanders work is art, and although I am sure Alexsander has many friends, there is a soulful loneliness about his work. Lonely, yet not for one second depressing. One man, content with himself.
