NYC's LeeStudios is the brainchild of thirtysomething Ernest Montgomery, a fashion and entertainment industry professional who has lived and worked in New York City and the Dominican Republic. For over 17 years he has photographed male models, many of whom are Latin, muscular and quite lovely. Montgomery prefers to use the model's frame as a canvas, with minimal accessories. "I rarely give them posing direction," he tells the boys at Beautiful. "I allow them to move and communicate any way they see fit. In the end it creates an image that is hopefully sexy and beautiful, gentle but still masculine. Most of my guys can't believe what they look like once they see the photographs." If any of his models need further persuasion ....-RM
