“UGLYNESS IS EXCUSABLE; BEAUTY IS MORE IMPORTANT.”  Vinicius de Moraes, Brazilian poet

German born Frank Waldecker took his fi rst pictures at the age of 12. Later he studied graphic design and worked in this capacity for publishing houses in Hamburg and Munich. In 1989 while visiting Brazil, he fell in love with the country and people. He now lives in Rio de Janeiro four months of the year. Frank has been shooting male models since 2001, and thanks to their natural sensuality, Brazilian models are his favourite subjects. His fi rst calendar “Beachboys” was published 2003 and since then more than 20 others published internationally featuring his photos.
In Brazil Frank works with the best model agencies on fashion shoots and lifestyle photos for a range of clients.
Besides postcards, calendars and books, his work has been published in international magazines such as “Cosmopolitan” and “Glamour”.

As early as 1962, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes had an international hit with the song “The Girl from Ipanema.” This paid homage to the sensuality and beauty of Brazilian women, especially those from Ipanema, the legendary area of Rio de Janeiro. Even today, there are more attractive men and women in Ipanema than at any other beach in Brazil.
However, while Brazilian women have always had plenty of attention, the male of the species has been neglected by the photographers’ lens. High time, then, to let the Latin lovers from Brazil into the picture.
Between 2001 and 2009 I photographed an incredible variety of men in and around Rio.
There, people love to show off their bodies, and work hard to keep them in good shape. Total nudity is, however, taboo in Brazil. People are aware that leaving on the last shred of clothing stimulates the imagination, and has a far more erotic effect than showing off all your assets.
Many of my photographs communicate emotion, charm and sensuality, but not only that. They also reveal “alegria” or joy of life, a quality unique to the Brazilians and their way of life.

„DIE HÄSSLICHEN MÖGEN MIR VERZEIHEN, ABER SCHÖNHEIT IST FUNDAMENTAL.“
Vinicius de Moraes, brasilianischer Dichter

Bereits 1962 huldigten Antonio Carlos Jobim und Vinicius de Moraes mit ihrem Welthit „The Girl from Ipanema“ der Sinnlichkeit und Schönheit der brasilianischen Frau im legendären Stadtteil Ipanema von Rio de Janeiro. Auch heute noch trifft man wohl an keinem Strand Brasiliens so viele attraktive Frauen und Männer wie in Ipanema.
Während der brasilianischen Frau schon immer viel Aufmerksamkeit zuteil wurde, fristeten die brasilianischen Männer eher ein Schattendasein im Fokus der Fotografen. Es war also an der Zeit einen Blick auf den brasilianischen „Latin Lover“ zu werfen.
Von 2001 bis 2009 habe ich die unterschiedlichsten Männer in und um Rio fotografiert.
In Rio liebt man es seinen Körper zu zeigen und man arbeitet hart daran diesen in Form zu halten. Totale Nacktheit ist in Brasilien jedoch tabu. Man ist sich durchaus bewusst, dass der letzte Hauch von Stoff die Fantasie anregt und somit viel erotischer wirkt, als alles zu zeigen.
Viele meiner Fotos transportieren neben Emotion, Charme und Sinnlichkeit auch die berühmte brasilianische “Alegria“ – eine Lebensfreude, die den Brasilianern so eigen ist.
