Show & Tell

Flipping “the usual” for this summer story — where women talk about their bodies, confidence, lack of confidence — we interviewed MEN about their body issues. 

Tim, above, is one of 11 guys, ranging in age from 34 to 72, we challenged to pose shirtless for a series of candid portraits. We asked them to open up about their bodies, aging, their insecurities and the things they normally don’t say out loud that they love — and hate — about themselves.

Black and white photography by Scott Pasfield gave the gallery the dignity it needed — a dash of Avedon — and the men got real with well-known writer, Eric Spitznagel. Think that only women have body self-esteem issues? WRONG!
