Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I recall from a previous AMA, women were much more open to the idea of being photographed naked than their male partners.

I personally think it's widely accepted in contemporary culture that the female form is regarded as aesthetically beautiful, whereas the male body is more functional like a tool. As an artist, how do you compose photographs of men so that they may appear comfortable and photogenic? Do you find photographing men to be challenging in a different way in comparison to women?

What happened to your previous AMA? I remember it received quite a bit of interest.

Thank you for your insightful answer.

I do think western society's appreciation for the male form has diminished quite a lot since the Renaissance. It's a widespread problem and it was also evident in the art lessons I've attened which featured a male model. I can't help but see it as a vicious cycle when even artists are not inclined to challenge those norms. It's a sad state of affairs and I honestly don't think that's anyone's fault (except the media/social-media), it's just unfortunate that this is the way the world is right now.

I honestly don't know why men believe images of their genitals would be artistically pleasing, but I think this lack of creativity definetly perpetuates the problem.

Ah that's a shame, I'm sorry you had that experience!

I had no idea that the creator of ZM was Irish!

I grew bored of the competitive nature of the standard TDM format and naturally, my enjoyment was fairly limited by the number of times I got my ass handed to me.

Because of your mod, I have very fond memories of playing alongside members of the VSS clan and experimenting with different play styles on a variety of maps made by the community. If it wasn't for ZM, I would've uninstalled CS:S and contemplated why on earth was CS:S such a big deal at the time.

I just want to say, thank you very much for allocating your talents into creating a foundation for the modding community and introducing me to the world of game modifications.

I wish you the very best of luck with your career!
