Thank you, LucasT, for sharing so many great shots of Chen Yang. And it's also great to have his name.

While I have you online, can I ask about Xie Zi Qiu? I have always thought he/they are Taiwan-based. They don't give much away about themselves. Can you tell us anything about them? I should have guessed from the use of a bicycle as a prop for the photos of Chen Yang that the photographer was Xie Zi Qiu ... a bicycle is a common motif in a number of their muscle boy portraits. They have a portrait style which is very attractive. Although it's rare to sight actual genitalia in their work.

What is the market for their work though? That is, does anyone pay them for the labour, skill and love which they lavish upon their portrait subjects?

For other readers, see more samples of Xie Zi Qiu's work below

My only issue with Xie Zi Qiu, as I've mentioned earlier in this thread, is that s/he doesn't name the models. Wouldn't it be easier to find them and ogle them if they were tagged on IG?

Thanks for your comment, Xie Zi QIu is a China based photographer and you can notice all of his models are from PRC but not Taiwan although there could possibly have some international collaboration. There could be some works or album galleries for his work but it is uncertain on how he generates earning from there. It is typically just like Taiwanese photographer 晏人物 (yan ren wu) timothy's photos, did exactly the same thing but with different perspective and style in photo shooting.

It is rarely to have full frontal shooting of the models mostly because it was not in the shooting scope. This model below was considerably naked in one of his past work:


and also below is his another shooting work with Captain america theme
