Eye Candy: Double vision

After his appearances on Drag Race and My Life on The D-List, we grew increasingly confident that hunky photographer, Mike Ruiz, had secured the crown as America’s sexiest shutterbug. But, when we stumbled across these dreamy self-portraits by L.A. based lensman, Marc Cartwright, our first thought was; look over your shoulder Mr. Ruiz. Someone is reaching for the tiara.

Crown-hungry Cartwright began his photography career just seven years ago while working as a model. Since then, everyone from Bloomingdale’s to MTV has hired him to stand behind a camera. But, like any artist with an eye for the exquisite, he recognizes the value of his own visage (and bod!).

What we love most about his self-portraits is the playful side they display, and the suggestion that he doesn’t take his own beauty too seriously. It’s as though he views himself as a convenient prop for surreal storytelling. Beauty and a brain. Nice.

So, Mr. Ruiz, if you want to keep that tiara sitting firmly on your skull, heed the advice of RuPaul: you better work!
