Great pose!!
I love the poses, the second being my fav. Interesting to see the light too. I expect I will get around to doing a duo shot soon, and wonder now how I will light it. I like the raw-ness but this light does nothing for me....which leads me back to how I would light it differently?? Not certain how, but I think I would definitely attempt to light it so the bodies appear to merge or BE one.
I really like where you're going with this, but IMO it's not quite there. I prefer the position of the arms in the second one--seems more organic if you know what I mean. But the position of the guy's head is skewed enough to impair the symmetry. I think it could also be improved if more of the guy's head were visible. Maybe put him on a cushion that would raise his body a couple of inches--that would give you more to work with. I like the lighting on #2 but would look for a way to deemphasize his leg hair a bit.
Tom, Rechard, thank you very much for your feedback!
Lighting-wise there are tons of ways you can do this, we tried a few and all agreed that like this one, with the well-done rim and medium-to-medium-rare fill.
I have more looks with these two done (some PG, some 18+), coming soon, stay tuned

For me, and I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert, the B&W seems to stark for me. In photo #2 the amount of white under the male model's right arm drew my focus there and I lost the symmetry. I wonder if a duotone effect after seeing the color version from #3 might work for this series.

Any more from this series?

Hope you have a chance to re-shoot.
