In New York last weekend, I picked up a little gem of a book, by a photographer called Luke Austin. The title of the book – actually more of a super high-quality magazine – is Butt, and within its 60 pages are countless gorgeous images, all focused on the male arse.
I tweeted photos of a few of my favourites during the week, and have enjoyed flicking through it so much that it seemed only right to take inspiration from Austin’s work and make my own butt the subject of this week’s Sinful Sunday post.
In the stairwell that connects the two levels of my maisonette flat, there is a mirror. Actually to be more accurate there are 21 small mirrors, arranged in a 3×7 grid on the wall. I’m rarely a fan of my own reflection, but something about the way it’s broken up and spread across those 21 shiny discs often captures my attention as I move from one floor to the other.
Tonight I stopped to take a proper look at what they showed me; while I stood there, trying to decide whether I liked what I saw, I had the sudden urge to feel someone else’s eyes on me from above…pinning me down on their mental page, and studying my arse…just like I’ve studied Austin’s models this week.

what a sexy butt indeed!!
Nice shot. I especially like the pensive feel to the second one.
ooh would like to know what you were thinking in the moment of the 2nd one.

Consider yourself studied! 😉 These are great shots.
Well, not that I want to make inappropriate comments on your appearance, but I think all that running has done great things for your ass. Nice work 🙂
You can make all the inappropriate comments you like, darlin’ 😉
beautiful image
though it is almost noon and i am suddenly in the mood to nibble
Fabulous interpretations and a mighty fine butt.
My butt and I thank you for your kind words 😉
There is something slightly vulnerable about the 1st image, the way you are holding your butt and with your head turned to one side makes it feel like we have stumbled across a very private moment between you and your reflection

Or a private moment between a man and his butt? 😉
I feel like a voyeur spying on you… delicious!

Discomfort often makes for good art.
