A man's body appears as to be suspended off the ground performing endless feats of masculine agility high above the Spanish sea. As a child, my father would promise to buy me a sky-hook that would hover high above and take me anywhere I would desire. In a dream, I would fantasize about this sky-hook as a method of escape, taking me to places where I would be desired and celebrated. I would perform great feats from my hook and at times this would give me great freedom of sexuality. Freud identified this re-occurrence in a dream as the pleasure of sexuality by spectatorship. Two years prior to shooting this story, I met an Aerialist performing incredible gymnastic feats, within the confines of a club in Barcelona called Oscar Bustos. In that same year, on a pebbled beach front near Sitges in Spain, I shot a gymnast friend jumping with his legs and arms spread like an eagle, high above the Mediterranean’s horizon. Following the trip to Barcelona, like my dream, I had become the visual spectator. By juxtaposition, I imagined an aerialist attached to my sky-hook performing incredible feats of masculine agility, high above the ocean. It wasn’t until I met with Fashion Editor Luke Day now the Fashion Director of GQ Style, that this scopophilic perception of modern masculinity and my adoration of sportive perfection could be realized as a fashion story.

Boy to Man Australian-born (1965) Artist / Photographer, Michael Brosnan has learned from some of the Fashion and Portraiture Best Photographers in the world, including Kazuhiro Kobayashi, Tokyo (1991-1992) and Greg Gorman, LA (1992). With his priceless experience assisting on shoots, and his desire to follow in the footsteps of his favorite photographers Herb Ritts and Richard Avedon, he voyaged off to France to spend the next 3 years walking the streets of the world’s most romantic city. After shooting the new faces of Paris’s most prestigious Model Agencies, Brosnan was encouraged by the Agents to continue his passion and move forward. After Paris, he arrived in London (1998) and repeated his rhythm of shooting for National and international editorials. On holidays Brosnan would travel to Australia, Spain, and Mykonos and there his creativity would be inspired by the environment and the people that he met. Watching the light and its reaction to form, Brosnan could see how the Masters of Art used their imagination to play with the environment. He could visualize a world that no one else could see and create ideas that would develop from a dream. A graduate of Central Saint Martin’s (2009) in Graphic Design and Art Direction and now an accomplished practitioner of digital image making as an art form, Brosnan has reinvested into his passion and enjoys both Multimedia Design and Photography.
