Matus

As you can see from the first few photographs, the original plan had been rather different from what it ultimately turned out to be.

Matus lives with a wealthy "patron" who, we understand, gives the boy just about everything that he asks for.

But that doesn't, crucially, include lessons in English.

So when Matus said that we could shoot his pictures in the "bath" at his rich friend's home, our photographer just took along a few lenses suitable for close-up work.

Which wasn't, as it turned out, the best plan of action when Matus revealed that he'd actually meant that he wanted to be photographed in his friend's Olympic-size swimming bath!

Luckily, however, our guy had spotted a far more modestly sized bathtub in the house - and that was the eventual location for Matus's charming and very sexy set of pictures.

Matus was initially rather disappointed.

He'd wanted to show you his skill at swimming freestyle...

And butterfly...

And the back crawl.

Our photographer was, though, able to help Matus with a little breaststroke (and perhaps, if truth be told, just a little bit more than that!)

And, as a result, the boy was, as you can see, more than happy to raise his beautifully engineered personal periscope well above water level.
