Fit Young Men opened at the beginning of 2010 and is a photography website by Nick Baker, photographer for englishlads.com - We choose to work with very athletic young men where sport has been a large part of their background, many of them have never modelled before so a lot are exclusive to FYM. The photo sets are based around the model's main sport; some in their kit and some out of it. My aim was to show off men at about their physical peak, linking their athletic body to the sport that shaped it. The typical shoot shows the model in their sports kit, in underwear and subtle nude shots. I wanted to focus on the models body with subtle eroticism, it is mostly shot in the studio and I use lighting to exaggerate body definition. I do not manipulate or touch up photos as I just want to capture athletic men, not styled, not made over but naturally. Many of the models were happy to get a bit aroused; some couldn’t help themselves and were happy to get fully pumped! There are just a couple of models that are not nude.
