robert Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I need to pick out some photos to use for PETA's sexiest vegetarian contest. I'm not real pleased with my current photos and I think I'll take some new ones. Most of my photos are muscle ones or funny ones, not "sexy" ones. But I'm picking a few out here to put in a poll. Please feel free to provide feedback. I think I'll still take more very soon, but this will give me a good idea of what is sexy. Shirt on, shirt off, far away, close up, full body, face, smile, open smile, eyes at camera, away from camera, etc. Should I be with an animal, out in nature, on a sports field? What is sexy? Thanks! http://myspace-989.vo.llnwd.net/00024/98/93/24883989_l.jpg http://myspace-908.vo.llnwd.net/00611/80/96/611176908_l.jpg http://myspace-566.vo.llnwd.net/01276/66/53/1276393566_l.jpg http://a921.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/25/l_d364958af6e9cb70cb059829681624b8.jpg http://a685.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/29/l_400b441faf83659ac6f7522833f8d35c.jpg http://a482.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/3/l_7a0ba1a70c8cac0403e656552a890379.jpg http://a539.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/20/l_155b94279da5c87ea86761fd18c59162.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Wow, the park bench one is my vote. Its sweet and you have a nice soft smile in it , but the 3rd one where you are flexing is pretty good, too (and the sponge bob undies cinch the deal ). The bw one looks great, but not something I'd use for a "sexiest vegan" photo. Good that you are taking more, like I said, the park bench one is a good, I'd go from there. If you are going to do any "shirt off" shots, I'd say make sure you are doing some activity that would require a shirt to be taken off (construction work, firefighter, etc ). Black & white suits you, too, not a bad way to go. Oh, and the facial hair is totally sexy, maybe its time to grow it out again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks for the feedback! That is the kind of stuff I need. Direction on where to go next, and if I run out of time, or have lots of ugly days, I know which current ones I can work with. I appreciate it!

michaelhobson Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Out in the Garden, but I'm a naturalist kind of guy. Two bits of advice:1) Sponge Bob underwear are not cool.2) Step away from the "banana hammock"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I know this isn't for everyone, but I'm excited about entering this sexy vegetarian contest. So all the feedback is helpful. I was hoping for a consensus, but I'm not sure I'll get that. All the feedback is helpful. Like I said, I mostly do bodybuilding photos or silly photos so I have to take a new, artistic, sexuality-driven approach. It should be fun!

Tarz Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Messy hair got my vote - you wear stubble well man - really suits you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 1 -Messy Hair2 -sponge Bob -lost points for being in a restroom....not sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Good feedback, both of you. Thanks! I thought about the restroom part of it too. But I think It can be cropped, or photoshopped out if need be. I didn't alter the photos in anyway except resize them. Sometimes I'll crop them to cut out parts of the background, etc. Question. Does the angle of my nose in that photo make it look bad? I've got the nose thing, so I'm stuck with it, but normally straight on photos are better. Or is the big nose a good thing Or does it not matter? I hesitated to put it up, but it seems to be getting some votes so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 You should probably do some new photos with the contest in mind, but here's my feedback on what you've posted: Sitting on the swing: This is a good one, but lose the hat... it hides too much. In front of VegNews booth: The vegnews booth is entirely too distracting, and I don't think the angle of your head is the best to show off your face, but otherwise I like the outfit and the pose. Flexing in Sponge Bob underwear: This is actually one of my favorite flexing photos of you, and the facial expression is good. Replace the spongebob and pants with a towel and add some wet hair, maybe? (and most definitely come out of the restroom!) Out in the garden: I'm loving the whole garden thing, and the pose is good too, but I don't think this one is as flattering to your face as some of the others. (Maybe you were squinting in the sun?) Another one just like this, but at a slightly different angle or different lighting would get my vote. Face with messy hair: So sexy, but at such an oddball angle. I agree with Crystal on this one, the facial hair looks quite good on you. Park bench with blue shirt: I voted park bench! This one totally says "Come sit on this bench with me, so we can hug for a while." Chicks dig that. I like that it looks completely relaxed and natural, not like you were putting effort into posing for a photo. It could be even better if it showed off your eye color (like the face w/messy hair one does) and if you could get rid of some of the shadows in your face. B&W Full Body Flexing: Terrific photo, but wrong purpose. Hey, is it just me, or do the hands on the VegNews cover look like they're reaching for your butt?

robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Cool, thanks! Great feedback again. This is exactly what I need. I need to find out what I've done wrong, or at least what I should do to improve. This gives me more info to work from. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I like these kinds of photos of myself, where I look "happy" but it's not a "sexy" look. More just sweet. And of course, in this example, there is another person in it (Tonya Kay). But it's the kind I like and I wanted to share it http://a112.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/7/l_46188d5758da34b258e006232fdfb8ef.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm glad you said Tonya Kay, because my first thought was Drag Queen! I'm guessing she was all made up for Panic at the Disco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudgam Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Whenver the deadline is to submit pics, wait till then. In the mean time, grow out the beard as long as you can. Take pics in bodybuilding poses, but in normal athletic shorts (like NIKE basketball shorts). The banana hammick is a bit too hXc/badass. The average person cant handle the awesomeness.

robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Cool, thanks again for the feedback about what to do. I'll work on a variety of photos and hopefully be able to post them for more advice before I submit them.....and yeah, that is Tonya Kay, minutes after getting off stage at Panic! at the Disco. It was cool to watch her perform. That is whey we're both so happy. It was my first time ever seeing her in her element. It was cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladyviv Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I cannot decide between the one in the garden, and the messy hair one. I definitly like facial hair on you! You have a great smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks This is another one people refer to as probably my best look. It's a lot different than the long hair. Excuse the scanned photo, this one not digital. http://a457.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/4/l_5cef3272629e009609e4486c060a64c8.jpg Right now my hair is actually fairly short, kinda like in the Sponge Bob pants pose, so I can't do a whole lot with it right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Gotta love the fanny pack. At least you are much better looking than the girl. I think you should go with the shirt off. Your body clearly sets you apart from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandi06 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I do really like the pic of you on the park bench, but if this contest is about being a sexy vegan I would go with the garden pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarrio Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I went with the VegNews one...It's a bit Blue Steel... I was thinking Magnum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Out in the garden looks good. You can be topless in these? I oughta figure out which one works better for me, I should start getting pictures soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameska Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Out in the garden! I love the one with Tonya Kay too, but any picture with both of you guys would rock hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks! Hey, great to see you on here I really hope to come down there sometime to work on video stuff. I keep getting distracted! We've got another Vegan Vacation coming up this summer There is a section about it near the bottom of the main page of the forum. So, you think that garden photo is ok, even though my smile is kinda funny? It has a fit body, some garden stuff, so that is good, but I thought my smile wasn't that good in that one. I think it has the most votes so far. I always thought the one on the swing was the favorite, but I am proven wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigress Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I agree that you should take natural poses that show you are fit, but not overly muscular. A lot of people (with no taste) are put off by muscular people and that could lose you votes... You should have taken some in the snow today .....
