ENRIQUE
A chance meeting in Puerto Vallarta becomes a first shoot—easy, intimate, and quietly electric—marking the beginning of one of the artist’s most compelling photographic collaborations.
DIGITAL BOOKS: Model Sessions
These books are centered on a single model—an extended look at one individual over the course of a session or series of sessions. The focus is on presence, variation, and the subtle shifts that emerge through sustained observation: changes in light, pose, mood, and attention. Each volume builds a more complete sense of the figure, not as a single image, but as an unfolding study over time.
JUAN PABLO
From Colombia and newly arrived in Puerto Vallarta, Juan Pablo brings a natural confidence to the camera—resulting in a shoot that feels direct, unguarded, and distinct within the artist’s photographic work.
FABIAN
A developing collaboration in Puerto Vallarta traces Fabian’s shift from guarded to fully at ease, captured across intimate interior and sunlit exterior settings. The work reflects a key direction in Simonson’s practice—moving toward a more lived-in, collaborative exploration of the male figure.
MARCELINO
An early Los Angeles shoot set in dry, open terrain, Marcelino traces the unfolding of a new collaboration—where a quiet, tentative presence gives way to confidence, physicality, and a more direct expression of male beauty in a raw, sunlit landscape.
JEFFERSON
A journey to Brazil leads from Rio to the secluded beaches of Angra dos Reis, where Jefferson is photographed against lush jungle and open sea—expanding the artist’s work through a heightened sense of landscape, light, and place.
