Manuel Traxler By Julia Spicker
I'm gonna make another one of my comparisons in this post, with the handsome young Manuel Traxler being photographed by Julia Spicker.
Having checked out some more of Julia Spicker's photography, it definitely seems that she has a thing for the rock and roll image. A lot of her photography seems to be the kind you might associate to a movie star, one of those editorials where someone goes in and spends the day with a famous actor to try to get "the real person" on film (of course it's never genuine, as soon as a camera comes out people start acting).
But these pics of Manuel Traxler really remind me of some that I've seen of James Dean and then River Phoenix too. If you're a fan of either River or Jimmy, i think you'll see the similarities here.
There's no doubt River was compared to Jimmy, and some of the photography of him shows that comparison deliberately. And I think that's what the photographer was aiming for in these pics too.
They definitely work, and Manuel Traxler is absolutely sexy. I would love to see more of him in some more revealing shoots though, he has a hot body, and he is gorgeous.
He does have that rock star image !
