Derek Thomas is the kind of guy who makes you freeze at first glance. A rare mix of soft and masculine, with a body carved like art and eyes that lock you in instantly. Through the eye of the great Rick Day, Derek shines in every frame—sometimes lying down in a pastel pink knit crop-top and baroque-printed mini shorts, sometimes boldly posing at the edge of artistic nudity and unapologetic eroticism.
Every shot plays with contrasts: raw masculinity, queer tenderness, 90s vibes with the retro knit, and a juicy twist thanks to the super sexy “fruit” jockstrap by Marek + Richard. Special mention to the cozy, stylish setting—NYC loft, cactus, Starbucks mug, natural lighting. It’s the vibe of a chill guy who fully owns his look.
Rick Day is a legend in the world of gay male photography. If you’ve browsed erotic photo sites or flipped through arty coffee table books like “Players” or “All Players”, you’ve definitely seen his work. His signature? Polished lighting, insanely hot models, muscular bodies that never fall into cliché, and an ever-present sensuality—sexy but never vulgar.
