I met him quite awhile ago when I needed a model for a commercial shoot for a sportswear catalogue.

UM: ¿What do you enjoy most about being a photographer? Antwan: What I enjoy the most is the unlimited creativity I get. I get inspired which allows me to captivity what I see in that moment. UM: ¿When did you decide to explore the male figure in your art/photography? Antwan: I decided to explore the male figure in college because at that time in the 2000s before digital took over. I asked my friend who is cute and he was comfortable with it so he helped me to get comfortable with nude as I marked the journey to become an erotic photographer. UM: ¿What or who inspires you?
