Selected works from two distinct periods in my photographic journey — beginning with early black-and-white studies released under the pseudonym Dylan Ricci, and culminating in my later, colour-infused portraits published under my own name, Troy Schooneman. While differing in approach and aesthetic, both collections are unified by an enduring fascination with the male form as vessel, symbol, and mirror.

The Dylan Ricci Collection

(Photographic works by Troy Schooneman, 2002–2007)

Created at the very beginning of my artistic life, these photographs were made under the pseudonym Dylan Ricci and never publicly attributed to me until now. The men were Thai athletes. Their faces were never shown. Their bodies became form, curve, tension, line — sculptural, anonymous, mythic.

These are not portraits, but meditations — flesh caught between stillness and desire. In each frame, the body yields to light: muscle softened into curve, tension made tender by shadow. Marble is conjured, but it is warmth we feel. What remains is less the subject than the sensation — hushed, aching, sculptural.

Under My Own Name

(Photographic works by Troy Schooneman, 2013–2020)

These later works, published under my own name, mark a shift toward intimacy and the emotional resonance of presence. Faces return. So does story. The male body remains central — poised, lit, and composed — but now carries with it a quiet vulnerability, a sense of lived humanity beneath the sculptural surface. These are men, not ideals.

Theatrical yet tender, these images fuse classical influence with contemporary emotion. Each frame holds its subject in a charged stillness — contemplative, luminous, suffused with breath and memory.
