The Irresistible Art of the Male Butt
What’s your favorite food? Butt! What are you going to start with? Butt! Okay, but butt first. This is the mantra of our daring, bold, and unapologetically sensual documentarist, Federico Rossi, who spent an entire year capturing the essence of the male form through one timeless, yet endlessly diverse, feature: the butt.
In his latest editorial, Federico doesn’t shy away from the details; he dives into them, exploring how men of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds bring something uniquely beautiful, raw, and magnetic to the beach. And what’s more captivating than the sight of a man in nothing but his skin and a leather jacket?
Through the lens, Federico captures men as they truly are—bare, unfiltered, confident, each wearing nothing more than a leather jacket slung casually over their shoulders, the rest exposed to the world. From muscular builds to softer silhouettes, from barely-there hair to untamed body fur, each man stands on the beach in his own glory, a tribute to the butt in its every glorious form.
One model, a seasoned man in his fifties, chuckled as he struck his pose, saying, 'I might have more laugh lines than these young boys, but damn, I know I still got it.' And he did. His self-assurance, combined with his undeniable charm, turned the shot into more than just a photograph—it became a statement of timeless allure.
The documentarist remembers the effortless confidence of a burly, tattooed dancer who posed with his arms raised, chest open to the waves. 'Okay, but butt first,' he joked, shaking his head with a grin that screamed self-assuredness. His figure, bold and striking, left an impression of strength and sensitivity—a balance that resonated in every shot.
Without missing a beat, Federico found himself replying, 'Would you mind sitting on my face?' The dancer didn’t hesitate, moving with a quick, passionate intensity that left them both breathless. The sensation was intoxicating, and the documentarist felt lost in the moment, savoring every inch of the experience. It was a shared secret of raw desire that needed no words. They both knew the electricity of the moment was too intense to continue, so they decided to pause and returned to the beach the next day, ready to complete the shoot with that same lingering heat.
In another frame, a young, wiry artist with a cheeky grin stood with his back to the lens, his lean muscles catching the glow of the sun, a playful smirk hinted as he looked back, 'What’s my favorite food?' he asked, 'Butt!' His laughter echoed across the empty beach, and for a moment, the simplicity of the moment felt intimate, as though each viewer were sharing in a secret.
Through each session, Federico realized that the butt, a seemingly playful focus, revealed a deeper narrative. It was about identity, self-assurance, and the comfort of being seen. From a mature man with years behind him to a fresh-faced 20-something still finding his place in the world, each man radiated something distinct yet universally appealing—a reminder that beauty lies not in perfection, but in presence.
With every click of the camera, our hero immortalized the allure of the male form, unfiltered and unapologetic. No two men were the same, yet every one of them owned their space, their moment under the sun. This wasn't just a celebration of the body; it was a testament to freedom—the kind that only comes when you're unafraid to bare your truth.
To all who ask, 'What are you going to start with?' Federico’s answer remains simple and playful: 'Butt!'
