Cuando pensamos en alguien herido en combate, usualmente lo imaginamos en una silla de ruedas y devastado, las siguientes imágenes muestran totalmente lo contrario.

El fotógrafo Michael Stokes se especializa en desnudos masculinos, y cuando usó la lente para retratar veteranos heridos, ocurrió algo inesperado: son sumamente sensuales.

Las fotos son estilo calendario, el primero en retratarse fue Alex Minsky, un infante de la marina de Estados Unidos cuya pierna fue amputada después ser alcanzado por una bomba en Afganistán.

Ahora, gracias a una campaña de Kickstarter, estas fotografías incluyen más veteranos de guerra y serán parte de un libro llamado “Always Loyal”, en el cual cada veterano tendrá una página con su biografía y detalles relacionados con sus lesiones.

Michael Stokes, a fine arts photographer in California, takes a bold new approach to veteran portrait photography by taking powerful and sexually charged calendar-style photos of confident veterans posing proudly with their amputated body parts and prosthetics. The project began with Alex Minsky, a U.S. Marine whose leg was amputated after suffering a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2009. After Minsky set the tone for a confident and proud photoshoot as opposed to a somber one, other veterans began to sign up, leading to a book by Stokes called "Always Loyal." "Some people will say to me 'Oh, this is really helpful to their self-esteem,' or, 'You're making them feel like men again,'" Stokes told MTV. "These guys have come to me very healed and ready to take the world on. I'm not giving them back their confidence. They already have it."
