The surreal moment with Rico

It was still early, around 8:30am. I caught Rico outside of the hotel smoking alone while I was on my way to work. I'm so glad to have photographed him in my conscious hour. I tried so hard to hold the little camera firm as my hand was shaking like crazy after taking my prescription. The image is so real, isn't it?

Steven Klein shot the 42-page editorial for the special edition of Arena Homme + Spring & Summer 2011 issue. This photo shoot explores the beauty of violence, S&M and homosexuality. Mostly in black & white, the shoot is shockingly beautiful with the mood of Robert Mapplethorpe's classic masculine portraits. Rico a.k.a. Zombie Boy, the skeleton-tattooed face of Mugler modeled for this shoot wearing pearl necklace, chain and bullets. Do you know that Rico is tattooed everywhere in his body except his most private part? Not sure if he will have it tattooed soon, he plans to have pierces on it though.
