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.
KAINOA
Kainoa documents an early Hawaiian session with a young surfer whose relaxed presence and athletic figure became a natural focus for Simonson’s exploration of the male form. Photographed in warm natural light and intimate tropical surroundings, the images reflect the direct, observational approach that would become central to the artist’s later work.
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.
