Fleshbot Art Crush Corner: Meet Jesse Finley Reed (And His Hot Naked Models)

With shows in Berlin, Athens, Zurich, Los Angeles, and other jet-setting destinations, photographer Jesse Finley Reed has been around the block more than most. And we here at Fleshbot don't only appreciate his eye for composition and color, we also like his frequent choice of subject matter: naked dudes. (We're really easy to please.) A group show featuring some of Reed's latest work opened at Sloan Fine Art in New York last night and we could not identify more with the theme: in his artist statement, he explains that the dim, backlit nudes and semi-nude studies feature men he met "through online communities in Berlin and New York". (And you thought Manhunt hookups were just for backyards. Silly!) If you can make it past the quirky (and currently malfunctioning) site links, you should also visit Reed's portfolios of hot guys showing off and his homage to Judy Garland. In fact, there's plenty of good stuff in there that would look great on our bedroom walls. And in our beds too.
