<p><strong>WHEN AEBN BOUGHT FALCON STUDIOS BACK IN 2010, THEY MERGED THIS FAMOUS GAY ADULT MOVIE PRODUCTION COMPANY WITH ANOTHER LEADER IN THE BUSINESS: RAGING STALLION STUDIOS. EVEN THOUGH BOTH COMPANIES KEPT THEIR OWN INDENTITY AND EXCLUSIVE MODELS, IT OPENED NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO MATCH MODELS WHO PREVIOUSLY WOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER. SUCH AS SAMUEL COLT AND CHRIS PORTER, REAL TIME COUPLE BUT BOTH WORKING FOR THE OTHER COMPANY.</strong><br />

<strong><a href="http://www.chrisporterxxx.com/" target="_blank">Chris Porter</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.samuelcoltxxx.com/" target="_blank">Samuel Colt</a></strong>, welcome to BeautifulMag. You guys seem to have a lot in common. Lovers, coworkers and you started working in the adult industry at about the same time. How did you enter this line of work and was this something you always wanted to do?<br />
<em>Chris: I wanted to do something that I wanted to do and not give a fuck what anyone else thought. I have never been one to follow the crowd. I hated seeing everyone do the same exact thing with his or her lives. Growing up in a small town I always did things after thinking what everyone else would think, one day I just said “fuck this” and started having sex for money.</em><br />

How did you guys meet?<br />
<em>Samuel: We started chatting on Twitter; I really liked his humor, personality and outlook on life. When I was in NYC for an appearance, I asked him to come out at meet me there. </em><br />
<em>Chris: We met at this bar called View Bar in NYC. I was living in NYC at the time so that was easy. We met at this bar called View Bar. And I am glad we did.</em></p>
<p>Love at first sight?<br />
<em>Chris: It was definitely lust at first sight. Then a month later we got to spend a weekend together and that’s when I knew I wanted to be with him.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: Well it was certainly lust&#8230; But you can&#8217;t spend time around this guy without falling in love with him. </em><br />
<a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dbf99970b-popup"><img title="Beautifulmag_gio spano1" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dbf99970b-250wi" alt="Beautifulmag_gio spano1" /></a><a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dc058970b-popup"><img title="Beautifulmag_gio spano5" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dc058970b-250wi" alt="Beautifulmag_gio spano5" /></a><a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dc137970b-popup"><img title="Beautifulmag_gio spano10" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e201538f1dc137970b-500wi" alt="Beautifulmag_gio spano10" /></a><br />
A lot of people who are in a relation prefer not to work together. In your line of work this is probably even more challenging given the fact you are working with many different partners. How do you manage to separate your professional life from your personal life?<br />
<em>Chris: Us even more so! We both do porn but we also have the same day job. We both work at Naked Sword. I love spending every minute of my life with him, so I never get sick of him being around.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: Still, we do keep the porn life and personal life very separate; you need to be able to turn off &#8220;Samuel Colt&#8221; and just be yourself. In San Francisco, I don&#8217;t go by my porn name and I don&#8217;t do many appearances as Samuel. I think we are very different people in private than what people know us publicly. </em></p>
<p>What do you do when you don’t do porn?<br />
<em>Samuel: We are pretty normal&#8230; We both work during the week, go to the gym, make dinner. We both like to travel so we are always planning some fun or exotic place to visit. Right now, we are planning a big trip to India, Bangladesh and Nepal. If not appearing in movie, Chris is also the Original Content Producer and the Social Marketing Manager at <strong><a href="http://www.nakedsword.com/" target="_blank">Naked Sword</a></strong>.</em><br />
<a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f11644970c-popup"><img title="Beautifulmag_gio spano11" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f11644970c-500wi" alt="Beautifulmag_gio spano11" /></a><br />
Imagine BeautifulMag has decided to produce a porn movie and we want you two to be the stars. Even more, we give you unlimited budget and a cast of your own choice. What would you like to do and with who?<br />
<em>Samuel: Hmmmm unlimited budget? How about this&#8230; We are scientists or epidemiologists or something and with our unlimited budget we find a way to cure malaria or HIV or provide clean drinking water to the people of the world and as we travel around to administer this, we get into fun and zany situations and of course fucked by all the hot guys of the world.</em><br />
<em>Chris: I would use the unlimited budget to invest in a time machine and all the old Colt models would fuck us, like Jake Tanner and Pete Kuzak.</em><br />
<a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f113b2970c-pi"><img title="Quote colt_porter2" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f113b2970c-500wi" alt="Quote colt_porter2" /></a></p>
<p>There is a difference in age between the two of you. How does this influence your relationship?<br />
<em>Chris, true, there is a difference in age but it does not affect our relationship in the slightest.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: No it hasn&#8217;t really&#8230; Chris is a very mature and independent person. And I am still just a big kid so it really evens out!</em></p>
<p>Recently you worked with <strong><a href="http://giophotography.com/" target="_blank">Gio Spano</a></strong> on a photoshoot that focuses totally on you as a couple. How was your experience working with Gio?<br />
<em>Samuel: I haven&#8217;t done a shoot with him before but Chris has, but I&#8217;ve known him for the past year. He is a great guy and has an amazing talent with the camera. When I saw the photos, I was impressed. He really captured a lot of the intimacy between Chris and I. And when you add the amazing skyline and sunset of Florida, I knew he made something special.</em><br />
<em>Chris: It’s always great working with Gio. We have done a couple other photo shoots as a couple. I love doing them.</em><br />

Let’s get to know you a little bit more personal.<br />
What is your favorite color?<br />
<em>Chris: Blue.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: Green.</em></p>
<p>What is your favorite food?<br />
Chris: Carbs.<br />
<em>Samuel: Sushi and cheesecake… But not together.</em></p>
<p>What ringtone do you have on your phone?<br />
<em>Chris: Default iPhone ringtone.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: Dogs barking.</em></p>
<p>Do you have a pet?<br />
<em>Samuel: Two Dachshund mix puppies: Eggs and Bacon. They are brother and sister.</em></p>
<p>What is your favorite position in sex?<br />
<em>Chris: I love when he pile drives me.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: Yeah, I like to fuck him.</em><br />
<a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f10d1c970c-popup"><img title="Beautifulmag_gio spano8" src="http://www.beautifulmag.com/.a/6a00d83451cc7469e2015432f10d1c970c-500wi" alt="Beautifulmag_gio spano8" /></a><br />
What do you appreciate most in each other?<br />
<em>Chris: We are very honest with each other and that is why our relationship works. I appreciate how, even before we were dating, he has always been there for me. He’s seen me at my lowest and he still stuck with me. He is an amazing man and I am very lucky to be with him.</em><br />
<em>Samuel: I like who he is&#8230; I like how he is strong and independent, he is creative and artistic, he stands up for what he believes in and doesn&#8217;t back down, he isn&#8217;t afraid of a fight, he&#8217;s a badass that just wants to be loved, he&#8217;s not the stereotype cookiecooker faggot, he is very mature, very dedicated and always pushes himself. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, he is sexy as fuck.</em></p>
<p>What can we expect next from Chris Porter and Samuel Colt?<br />
<em>Samuel:  Damn, I have no clue. follow us on twitter and find out?</em><br />
<em>Chris: I’m gonna say… A lot! We are currently working on a big project. Unfortunately we still can’t really talk about it. <strong>-BM- </strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the months of May and June, I am pleased to announce my photography will be exhibited at <strong>DENNIS DEAN GALLERIES</strong> in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  This marks my first show at this amazing gallery and I am thrilled to be opening this show in my current hometown.  I will be showing 18 original art pieces all in Limited Edition.  The show is entitled &#8220;<strong><em>The Art Of Capturing Alluring Images</em></strong>&#8221; which has been my tag-line since starting my photography business.</p>
<p>Mark your calendars for May 14th from 7PM &#8211; 10PM for the opening reception.  I would be thrilled to have you come and join me, models, friends and family at this great event!  I want to thank The Boardwalk and Beefcakes Restaurant for being the sponsor of the opening reception and the official host of the &#8220;After Party.&#8221;</p>
<p>What makes this opening weekend even more special is that we will also be celebrating my Partner Howard&#8217;s 50th Birthday as well.  On Friday the 13th (yes, I know&#8230;but not gonna be bad luck for us!) come join us for his big Birthday Bash at The Boardwalk Bar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past couple years I have had the pleasure to get to know <strong>Reese Rideout</strong> and I must say that he is a truly amazing guy!  He is best known to his fans through his exclusive work at <strong><a href="http://click.randyblue.com/hit.php?w=101765&amp;s=1&amp;p=1&amp;t=0&amp;c=0&amp;u=" target="_blank">RandyBlue </a></strong>where he has bared all for the world.  However, I have been lucky enough to get to know him as the great young man that he is.  He is one of the funniest guys in the biz and never takes himself to serious.  That is apparent in all of his <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ReeseRideoutVideos" target="_blank">YouTube</a> videos he posts regularly and you also get a glimpse of his personality on his own <a href="http://www.reeserideout.com" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago he was back in South Florida and he and I collaborated on creating some more artistic photos together.  The plan is to have several of these images and previous shoots we have done together published in a future coffee table book I have planned.  He is one of my favorite models to photograph because he is always willing to try something new and is a great collaborator.  Here are a couple shots from our most recent shoot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1025" title="Reese Rideout " src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/a01-11_Reese_002-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1026" title="Reese Rideout 2" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/a01-11_Reese_003-228x300.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="300" /></p>
<p>Here is a video that Reese created the night before we shot the above photos.  Enjoy&#8230;</p>
<p><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100" height="100" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s5AL4kYH4nA?version=3" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s5AL4kYH4nA?version=3" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Just prior to coming to South Florida, Reese and his wife Becki did a photo shoot for Marie Claire magazine.  They did an article on his wife and what life is like being married to a man who does gay porn for a living.  He told me it was an interesting experience doing this mainstream magazine and he thought it was being published in the European version of the magazine because the American version is too conservative.  However, the magazine is now out on news stands, so go check it out (I have not seen it personally yet, so not sure if it is really available in the USA.)  Here is a photo of the article:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I just came across a little diddy that I found provocative and HOT all at the same time.  The group <a href="http://www.fckh8.com" target="_blank">FCKH8</a> has created a very sexy calendar for 2011 and part of the proceeds go to stop bullying of the gay youth.  The calendar is touted as &#8220;STR8 Against H8&#8243; &#8211; Straight dudes take it off so the Homos can get their rights on.  Here is a preview image of the calendar and a hot little behind the scenes video of the shoot.  Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!</p>

<p><strong>NOTE</strong>:  I applaud this group for their efforts in the rights of Gay People and putting an end to bullying.  However, I did find their main video (FCK BULLIES) a bit shocking because it shows children using the &#8220;F-Bomb.&#8221;  I am 100% for freedom of speech and support the rights of Adults engaging in it.  But, I do question the taste of using young children in this type of campaign.  So, if you are offended by children using foul language, you may want to skip this video.  If not, then enjoy.  Either way, the bottom line here is that this is an important message and that is why I have decided to share it with all of you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As 2010 comes to a close, I cannot help but to reflect back over the year with amazement.  To say it has been a banner year for me would be an understatement.  I could not be more thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon me this past year and I want to thank the amazing models who have come before my lens and also the Studios/Clients that have trusted in my skills to bring their vision to life in photos and video.  As an artist, it can be scary at times wondering if your work is appreciated, relevant and marketable.  I, like many of my contemporaries, seem to never be satisfied with my work and find myself always striving to improve upon my work.  Sure, there are times when I am very excited about a particular image I created and I do take a moment or two to smile and breathe a sigh of relief that a particular project is finally complete.  But, I am always thinking about what my next project will be or whom I will have the honor to work with.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-981 aligncenter" title="Phenix Saint" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Phenix_0_002-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Phenix Saint</strong></p>
<p>One of the highlights of the year for me was attending the 2010 Grabby Awards in Chicago where I received the award for Best Still Photographer.  I had no idea that I was going to win that award and when my name was called I was truly shocked.  The appreciation I received from all the models that have worked with me that night was truly special to me.  It is those 100&#8242;s of models that I have worked with that I owe the greatest gratitude too!  After all, if it were not for them being so courageous to bare all for my camera, I would have nothing.  I must also thank all my clients for trusting in my abilities as well.  Over the past year those clients included: <strong><a href="http://gunzblazing.com/hit.php?w=100835&amp;s=17&amp;p=1&amp;c=&amp;tool=7" target="_blank">Raging Stallion Studios</a>, Chi Chi LaRue, <a href="http://www.perfectguyz.com" target="_blank">Perfect Guyz</a>, <a href="http://www.fleshjack.com?link=64504 " target="_blank">FleshJack</a>, Suite703, <a href="http://www.badpuppy.com/click.asp?det=fabscout99&amp;dest=BP " target="_blank">BadPuppy</a>, <a href="http://www.hotspotsmagazine.com" target="_blank">HotSpots Magazine</a>, <a href="http://www.beautifulmag.com" target="_blank">BeautifulMag</a>, Club Fort Lauderdale, 1-800 Gay Live, California Exotic Novelties, <a href="http://www.fabsout.com" target="_blank">FabScout Entertainment</a>, Village Lighthouse, <a href="http://www.dnamagazine.com.au/default.asp" target="_blank">DNA Magazine</a> &amp; <a href="http://www.baitbuddies.com" target="_blank">BaitBuddies</a>.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here we are, only 1 day left in 2010 and I am surfing the web in search of interesting tidbits from this past year.  As I was surfing I came across this B&amp;W photo of a stunning man shirtless and to my amazement it was a photo of <strong>Ryan Reynolds</strong>.  To be honest, I really never paid much attention to his career as an actor and when he was named People Magazine&#8217;s Man of the Year for 2010, I think I barely bated an eye.  Was I under a rock all these years?  DAMN, this man is truly deserving of this accolade based on this photo alone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-968 aligncenter" title="Ryan-Reynolds" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Ryan-Reynolds-1-479x600-239x300.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="300" /></p>
<p>Look as those abs!  The nice smattering of body hair that is just perfect!  WOW, I had no idea this man was so stunning!  As a photographer who has photographed some of the most beautiful men in the world, you would think I would be a bit tainted when it comes to this kind of stuff.  But, here I sit finding myself totally intrigued with this mans physical beauty.  I totally appreciate all the hard work he has put into sculpting his body.  As you probably already know (I did not) he is starring in THE GREEN LANTERN to be released in June 2011 and there is no doubt he will look amazing in his green spandex costume.  I am not a big comic book fan, but I think I may have to plunk down my $12.00 for a ticket to see him in action.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-969 aligncenter" title="Ryan Reynolds Green lantern" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Ryan-Reynolds-Green-lantern-300x265.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="265" /></p>
<p>That image was created by a fan and I do not think it is official.  But, here is the official Movie Poster and a few more images for your enjoyment.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must admit I have a new Guy Crush these days &#8211; <a href="http://darrencriss.snappages.com/home.htm" target="_blank"><strong>Darren Criss</strong></a>!  He is currently staring in Glee as a confident openly gay student with an amazing singing voice. From the 1st time he graced the screen, I could not help but be mesmerized by his striking good looks and charisma.  As a matter of fact, I was sitting in my living room with my partner and a bevy of well established porn models and everyone was aghast and beside themselves when he made his debut.</p>

<p>As an Actor/Singer/Songwriter Darren is certainly a triple threat (of a new kind).  The verdict is still out as to whether or not he will remain a regular character on Glee, but if the story line between him and Curt continues to grow, I am sure he will be on the show for a while.  Check out this interview with him from MTV where he talks about his role on Glee and how he got it:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry, it has been a while since my last post.  Sometimes this Blogging thing can be a bit tough because I am shooting so much these days!  Anyway, last month I had the pleasure of working with my dear friend Chi Chi LaRue again and it was amazing as always.  Before I tell you about those shoots, I want to tell you a little bit about my history with Chi Chi because I pretty much owe my success in the Adult Industry to her.  Several years ago, Chi Chi came to Florida to shoot a movie and asked me to shoot her Action Stills.  She had hired another local photographer to shoot her Glamour stills and I would be covering all the action.  On the 1st day of shooting she pulled me to the side and asked me to grab several of the models throughout the shoot and &#8220;Show me what you can do with some glamour shots of these guys.&#8221;  So, I did that and gave her my Action and Glamour stills to take back with her to California.  A couple weeks later I got a phone call from her&#8230;&#8221;Wow Gio, your glamour stills are amazing!  I love them better than the other guy I hired and as a matter of fact I have decided to use your images for my Box Art and Marketing of the film.&#8221;    What an honor for me to have her say that!  That first film I photographed for her was called <strong><em><a href="http://www.c1r.com/store" target="_blank">CLICK</a>.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.c1r.com/store" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-929" title="RV1132_front_thumbnail" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/RV1132_front_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="256" /></a></p>
<p> From that day forward, Chi Chi LaRue has asked me to photograph several of her films shot in Florida and Los Angeles.  Working with Chi Chi is a photographers dream and I have loved every single project thus far!  With Chi Chi&#8217;s guidance and vision, I have also grown as a photographer and learned so much from her over the years and am truly greatful for all she has done for me.  I am proud to call Chi Chi my friend and colleague.  Here are several of the other films I shot for her and Channel 1 Releasing:</p>

<p>So, the week leading up to Thanksgiving Chi Chi came back to Florida to shoot three full films in four days!  Yes, you heard that right&#8230;.3 films in 4 days!  A few months back I was in LA shooting stills for <strong><em>RAISING THE BAR </em></strong>and at that time Chi Chi asked me how I felt about her coming to Florida and this time I would not be just shooting the still photos, but also shooting the video as well.   I have the most amazing production team here in Florida and I knew that we could deliver on the needs of these productions, so of course I said a resounding yes!  With the support of my team, FabScout Entertainment and the amazing Cast we succeeded in shooting 3 movies in 4 days.  Of course I was exhausted at the conclusion of the shoots, but I feel great about the content we shot and look forward to seeing the final outcome.  The films we shot are called <strong><em>FRAT BOY FUCK DOWN</em></strong> (The 1st Catalina release for C1R since taking over the studio), <strong><em>BAD BOYS GET SPANKED</em></strong> and <strong><em>BELOW THE RIM 2</em></strong>.   Oh, and the highlight of these shoots for me was getting to work with Dean Monroe!  He has always been one of my favorite performers and until now, I had never had the opportunity to shoot with him.  He is such a nice guy and a true pleasure to work with!  Not that he was the only highlight mind you, the entire Cast on these films were amazing, hot, sexy and great to work it.  I just had a little bit of a man-crush on Dean Monroe&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-914 aligncenter" title="burlesque-posterfinal" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/burlesque-posterfinal-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p>I went to see <a href="http://www.burlesquethemovie.com/" target="_blank">BURLESQUE </a>today with none other than Chi Chi LaRue.  We were both very excited to see this movie because of our love for Cher and a great appreciation for the chops of Christina.  I have read many Tweets and reviews that just trash this film, but I really must disagree.  Both Chi Chi and I left the film very pleased with the overall entertainment value.  The musical numbers were all beautifully produced and executed.  Cinematically, it was a visual feast for the eyes and ears.  Christina really shows herself to be a good actress and we all know she has some amazing pipes and she utilizes those exceptionally well.  Now on to Cher!  WOW &#8211; what else can be said about her?  She is cast perfectly in the role of the &#8220;Mother of all things Burlesque.&#8221;  My only disapointment with this film was that there are only two moments where Cher sings and I was expecting a duet with her and Christina that never happened.  Surly the film will be compared to CABARET in its overall look and feel, but one has to look past that to appreciate the true beauty of this original screenplay.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-915" title="bphoto-1" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bphoto-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p> Being the gay man that I am though, I am now moving on to talk about perhaps the most beautiful leading man I have laid my eyes on in recent memory.  And that man is Cam Gigandet!  Each time this man graced the screen, you could not help but notice his smoldering good looks and charisma.  As hard as it is to take your eyes off the beauty of Cher and Christina, I almost forgot they were on the screen when he was there!  I better stop, I almost sound obsessed at this point.  Oh, and yes you get to see is amazing ass on screen bigger than life in this film and for that alone, I say go spend your hard earned money!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-916" title="Cam Gigandet" src="http://giophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bphoto-12-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p> I did a search on the internet and found a few more sexy images of Cam for you guys&#8230;.Enjoy!</p>
