EN: I have some thoughts to share. Many would think models are the most confident people out there, but believe me you would be surprised. Being in this business has taught me even the most beautiful guys face insecurities regarding their looks. Funny enough, one of the very first things they tell me when approaching me is "I don't think I'm at the same level as the rest of your models, but still I would like to be photographed by you." Photographs are not reality, but perception. They are a reflection of what I, as an artist, see in them. Lately, this has been on my mind a lot, as i see what this industry does to many guys, and how they suffer because they tend to feel they are never good enough. Thoughts?

ES: Tengo algunos pensamientos para compartir. Muchos pensarían que los modelos son las personas más seguras de sí mismas, pero créanme, se sorprenderían. Estar en este negocio me ha enseñado que incluso los chicos más hermosos enfrentan inseguridades con respecto a su apariencia. Curiosamente, una de las primeras cosas que me dicen cuando se me acercan es "No creo que esté al mismo nivel que el resto de tus modelos, pero aun así me gustaría que me fotografiases". Las fotografías no son realidad, sino percepción. Son un reflejo de lo que yo, como artista, veo en ellos. Últimamente, esto ha estado mucho en mi mente, ya que veo lo que esta industria les hace a muchos hombres y cómo sufren porque tienden a sentir que nunca son lo suficientemente buenos. ¿Qué piensan?

Erick, I am afraid you are right. It could also be that is caused by the fact that most of your models (or all.) are young. And today, due to social media, everything needs to be perfect, Human bodies included, and as your models are naked, we can see each and every detail.

That's why I think it's important to work with models over 40 like Juanma, Tony or Yesu to show beauty isn't limited by age
