With his latest nude calendar, local photographer Brian Gomes has turned his focus to the male figure and he admits that the results were not what he expected.
Gomes’ latest “Made in Guyana Calendar” continues his exploration of nude photography, which, according to him, has been deemed taboo here.
His previous calendars featured nude portrayals of unidentified Guyanese women that generated both praise and criticism, although he believes he has managed to win over some of his initial detractors.
“Lots of persons loved it and equal amounts didn’t think it was appropriate for our conservative country. Since then, I think I might have changed the minds of many of the persons who were skeptical about nude art photography,” he said.
