Fleshbot Confidential: Drew Valentino Gets Naked For Steamy Photoshoot

When we found out that Drew Valentino was going to be posing for Mark Hersh Photography, we just had to crash the set and play voyeur, watching from the sidelines. Not only is Drew one of our favorite Raging Stallion/Falcon Exclusives, but we are very familiar with Mark Hersh's extensive library of hot gay porn stars, capturing the models in sexy, provocative, and stylish looks.

The photoshoot took place in Downtown Los Angeles, with huge windows overlooking the city. The weather was perfect, with natural lighting filling the studio. Mark started preparing the shots as Drew walked in. Of course, we know Drew from his steamy work on screen, but in person, he is absolutely smoldering and his package and his butt seem bigger (if possible) from what we've jerked off to. A total pro, Drew started taking out the many pairs of underwear, and jockstraps, and shirts to choose from. Without ceremony, Drew stripped down and started off in a pair of black undies...we swoon!

With Mark's keen eye and Drew's natural modeling skills, they went through a dizzying number of shots and looks in just a couple of hours. Drew has a great sense of what his body looks like on camera, and was able to adjust to make his muscles, dick, and ass pop.

After the shoot was done, Drew told us he had to rush off to a hook up but before he did, we chatted about his continuously growing stand-up career, the popularity of his comedy shows, his plan to film a version of his one-man show, and his performances for Palm Springs Pride. If you haven't caught one of Drew's shows, run, don't walk. It's hilarious as he talks about his journey from teacher to porn, set stories, and love and dating.

We helped Mark Hersh wrap up the studio and had a quick chat for this Fleshbot Confidential exclusive:

What did you love the most about working with Drew?

He was very professional and collaborative, along with having a great personality and, of course, sexy.

What was your favorite pose that Drew did?

I don’t have a favorite; I was drawn to his natural good looks and that hint of something mischievous in his eyes. I actually became interested in Drew when I heard him on a podcast and then looked him up.

What is your creative process when you put together a photoshoot?

I like to collaborate with whomever I am shooting and find out what they are interested in getting photos for be it Instagram, Twitter, OnlyFans, etc., and from there see what I feel they may be interested in shooting. Although, it’s very much a collaborative process in picking a studio space or location.

You photograph adult film stars often. What quality do they offer that's different than mainstream models?

Adult film stars are extremely comfortable in front of the camera, very in touch with their sexuality, and usually willing to take more risks erotically than most mainstream models. They also have a more personal connection to the person viewing a photo.

What do you look for most in a model?

There needs to be something that draws me in, that I find interesting about them. I also enjoy models that are creative, down to earth, and are looking and willing to possibly go outside of their comfort zone to create great photographs.

Who are some of the adult film stars you haven't worked with but would love to?

Reese Rideout, Adam Ramzi, Jordan Starr, Trevor Brooks, Travis Connor, Felix Fox, Eric Charming, Clark Reid, Daniel from Sean Cody, Dom King, Joey Mills, Theo Brady, Brent Corrigan — I could go on...

What advice would you give to a porn star doing a mainstream modeling photoshoot?

Be yourself and stay true to your brand — that’s where a true collaboration comes in. There are times that my style of photography isn’t on brand with a model and the other way around, no harm just not the right fit. But, most of all, have fun.
