He uses a different model's body (and in some cases, multiple models) for each image.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TSNVMP5bIke7C_ku13ym2CrfJEm5z5Tw_N7GjGSmZLa2zFdRIyziW7thgMuXtKMsVm_rVighr79WST1x3A1bhOS_RyRK_FVaApkOYq4yjsm_cjpSoR1z7lyAXAijX_vPl_YEYH8kfut6/s1600/Toes.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479773781057725250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TSNVMP5bIke7C_ku13ym2CrfJEm5z5Tw_N7GjGSmZLa2zFdRIyziW7thgMuXtKMsVm_rVighr79WST1x3A1bhOS_RyRK_FVaApkOYq4yjsm_cjpSoR1z7lyAXAijX_vPl_YEYH8kfut6/s400/Toes.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 798px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">above: " Toes" by Craig Tracy</span><br /><br />His work has been used in several ads and other commercial applications.
