       Jayro Montesinos is a photographer with an interest in portraits of masculine nudes and erotic photography.  His main obsession is to catch "the time that runs away."    In his eyes, the energy captured during the actual photo shoot is what matters, far more than what can be artificially created with technologies such as digital retouching.  He is interested in beauty as a concept, and finds that beauty in other cultures and in people from all parts of our global community.
