Blending the erotic with the dark and strange, Evan Butterfield's photography explores a world that's weird and whimsical, and sometimes just a little bit nightmarish. Combining the beauty of male figure studies with a variety of his own hand-crafted fantasy and steampunk-adjacent creations, Evan's work features odd, disturbing, and impractical accessories, eyewear, masks, and other props. The resulting images are basically all about contrast: exposed, vulnerable skin and  spikey, rusty textures; monochrome images with flashes of color; the play of light and shadow on unusually posed male bodies; handsome faces and weird eyewear.

THE MALE GAZE is a collection of over 175 photos of 36 professional male models, featuring custom-crafted eyewear, masks, and headpieces created by the photographer. The fact that the models are often wearing very little clothing, and that their gazes are obscured or blocked by the custom-made accessories they wear on their faces, is pretty much the point.
