From Boardrooms to Boys Next Door: Meet the Pioneer Redefining Male Art

In part one of our interview with photographer Chris Teel, we discuss his early inspirations, leaving corporate work for a creative life, and see exclusive images from his portfolio.

Decades before it was considered socially acceptable, Canadian photographer Chris Teel has been creating male art with erotic undertones. Only in recent years have people begun to embrace body ownership, but the road to acceptance was a long one paved by artists like Chris, who would create without societal permission.

Chris takes a thoughtful and introspective approach to his work, blending his life experiences into themes of sensuality, challenging notions of masculinity while celebrating men in their beautiful complexities.
