be a part of a bold new magazine.
We’re launching a new magazine spotlighting the real guys of Chicago, one neighborhood at a time. Each issue features anonymous guys stripped down in artistic, faceless portraits.
This is your invitation. We’ll do an interview about your neighborhood, your spots, your space, and your taste. Then a relaxed shoot where we’ll snap faceless (and a few naked!) photos of you in your neighborhood and back at your space (or our studio).
Fill out the form below and we’ll reach out to chat more and answer any questions you might have. Feel free to scroll down and review our FAQs as well.
let’s get you started.
FAQs
Will my face be shown?
Never. All portraits are taken without your face in the frame. Your anonymity is fully protected—no names, no identifying details.
I’ve never done anything like this before. Is that okay?
That’s exactly who we’re looking for. You don’t need to be a model. We’re capturing real people, real bodies, and all levels of experience.
What exactly will be photographed?
You’ll be clothed and nude, but the focus is artistic, not explicit. The shoot will be both outdoors (in your neighborhood) and inside your space (or our studio). We will capture your body in a respectful and creative way—cropped or partially covered. You’ll be able to review images before anything is published.
Can I choose how much I show?
Absolutely. Every shoot is a conversation. You’re in full control of what you’re comfortable with. While our aim for the magazine is to create body and penis positivity, nothing is ever forced or assumed.
What’s the process like?
We’ll schedule a quick interview (can be written or recorded), then plan a relaxed shoot. We’ll talk through what you’re comfortable with, guide you through the session, and make sure you feel confident the entire time.
What kinds of things will you ask me in the interview?
We'll chat about your neighborhood, your favorite spots, routines, what makes your space yours, and how you feel about your body. It’s casual and personal, like telling a friend about your life.
Do I get paid?
You will receive professional, edited photos for your own use, a complimentary copy of the issue you're featured in, and the chance to be part of something intimate, creative, and meaningful. This is a volunteer project aimed at guys who are excited to show off.
Is my apartment good enough for this? It’s small/messy/weird.
Perfect. We love spaces that are real and lived-in. No need to have a fancy loft or spend hours cleaning—your home is part of your story.
Is this safe and respectful?
100%. We take your comfort and boundaries seriously. You’ll have full control, can stop the shoot at any time, and nothing gets published without your approval.
