Not too many people would feel completely confident leaving their NYC apartments wearing so little clothing, but few photograph like Branden Haley by Christos Karantzolas. The Major Management model makes a sexy statement in this seductive editorial by revealing his ever-fashionable washboard abs to the outside world.
Unfortunately, the male model is only dressed down to his underwear in a single picture, but exposes his buff bare chest atop dapper slacks and beneath a debonaire black jacket. His only other adornment is a collection of arm and abdominal tattoos that suggest the strong movement in his body as he struts along cobblestone streets. Branden Haley by Christos Karantzolas captures a man completely alone amidst an apparent ghost town. He really could quite happily walk around with no clothes.
