The people have spoken! Today on the eve of the eve, I post my obligatory #TopNine from 2022. Some interesting statistics this year - 6 of the 9 are from 2 shoots, 8 of the 9 were shot in #provincetown, 2 of the 9 were throwbacks. Unsurprisingly all of them feature nude men (no apologies). • The #1 photo smashed my previous record for most likes. It came from probably my most appreciated photo story of the year “Freedom at Land’s End.” This was a special one for me. With the help @butchbeardo @ehundman and @sean.cub, I tried to create something around the idea of freedom with regard to sexuality, identity and expression, all connected to a location. It seems to have resonated with folks and I am grateful. • Tomorrow, as I usually do, I will post my favorite 9 of the year. This year there will be some overlap. Cheers! • #ronamatophotography #ronamato #topnine2022 #malefigurephotography #maleart #gayart #gaymen #lgbtqart #lgbtqartist #queerart #queermen #beautifulmen #menwithtattoos #menwithbeards
