Another from my shoot with Arnie...Related content

This an absolutely stunning piece. The joining of the horns with his head is flawless, and that expression just makes this all work. Looks like someone mentioned the "stereotypical" tribal feel, but I think that's what really makes this. I'm shocked this doesn't have more than that handful of faves you got for this. This is just wonderful. You really don't see enough African models. You guys did a great job with this!

Aww thank you, I myself also love this. I wasn't sure how people might take it so didn't post it for a while, but Arnie himself asked where it was and wanted to use it, so I said, ok lets go"

I love it~ gives an almost godlike feel, with the horns, don't you think? ;]

Hm, technically this is very good. What bothers me though is that the model is African, and with the horns and his tongue it looks like "the wild exotic black man", and that´s a cliché most people of African origin will probably find annoying.
I´m not saying you are racist, and maybe what I mentioned above is the whole point of the image.
Anyway, excellent photography!

Hi, I am pleased you feel the photography is good.
I would like to point out that my model here (Arnie), chose to wear the horns, the costume and concept are all his, and all credit to him in my opinion, I merely pressed the trigger.

Hm, okay, well then I guess it is ok 
I just had this conversation recently about ("positive") racism, meaning that people imply Africans are mysterious, wild, always happy, dancing all the time; etc.
This image kinda reminded me of that cliché
