Beautifully Bound - Frank Defeo, The Cop


In this series, the beauty really originates from the captive himself.
The yellow tee-shirt isn't police issue but it flatters the subject's physique.
The colour, cleverly set against an all-grey background makes the picture zing.
The enlarged boots in the foreground also contribute to a sense of his power  

The simplicity of the bondage and tokenistic gag allows his manliness to show through
but also seems to mock his muscularity and the profession he represents.
In that context, those oversize boots contribute their own irony.

This hunky body belongs to Frank Defeo
