Photography and Painting

Botticelli's Venus and Mars, or The Triumph of Love over War.  The artist depicts Venus, cool and collected, after a bout of love-making that has left Mars limp and panting, while the Goddess's little minions play in his armor.

The image here was shot specifically for this painting.  The model, Tyler, is nude; the drapery is from the painting.

Tyler is one of those models who has it all - experience, knowledge, education, a painter in his own right.  We did four shoots over a two-day period, and every minute was a joy.  You will see him again.
