Charles Powell has been crowned the winner of this year's 'Men's Health Cover Model' competition. The result was announced at a special finalists' dinner hosted by the magazine in London, during which the cover of the October 2012 issue, featuring Charles, was unveiled. Reacting to the result, he said: "It's such a massive privilege to be on the cover, I really can't believe it. It was the first time I've ever done a photo shoot and it was quite nerve-racking. I thought they were going to airbrush or Photoshop it but they haven't at all."
Charles, an Officer in the British Army, trained at Sandhurst Military Academy and has, to date, completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan. "It's extremely important for my job to be fit, as a Captain in the Infantry, I am expected to lead my men from the front in extremely arduous and dangerous conditions," he says, adding: "Being fit in my job can quite literally save lives."
Toby Wiseman, the editor of Men's Health, said: "Charlie epitomises the functional fitness we should all aspire to. Despite his overseas postings making regular training sometimes difficult, his dedication to his own health and fitness is an inspiration to the many time-poor men amongst us. If he can find the time and space to exercise, so can we. His training has left him fit and strong, as well as in excellent shape aesthetically. He personifies everything the Men's Health man should be - a natural in front of the camera and a down-to-earth guy. The competition was very tough but he is a more than worthy winner."
Talking about his regimented training regime, Charles said: "I go to the gym five to six times a week and try and vary my weights each time to keep it different. My secret is writing down what I do each time and then increasing it on my next visit to push myself. I never wanted to work in an office. I always want to push myself physically - that's why I joined the Army."

Clément Poitrenaud and his Stade Toulousain team-mates, resplendent in their new team strips, were photographed by Cyril Masson ahead of the 2012-2013 season. Designed by sportswear manufacturer Nike, the home strip is predominantly black with a red horizontal band across the chest, while the away kit is the reverse. An alternative away strip, in white with a red 'V' across the jersey, has also been produced.
Clément, now in his thirteenth season with the French rugby union side, made his international debut for France against South Africa on the 10th November 2001. In common with many of his contemporaries, he has posed nude for the celebrated 'Dieux Du Stade' (Gods of the Stadium) calendar.

In the fourth of his assignments for New York's Next magazine, French photographer Lionel André had the opportunity to work again with model Jessy Delduca. After a chance encounter on Facebook, the pair first worked together in the spring of 2011.
The following images, collectively entitled 'Party Of One', were published by the gay lifestyle magazine in July 2012. The publication described Jessy as "Adorable" and praised Lionel for capturing his "Sexy, playful spirit."
Jessy is openly gay and rather, shall we say, uninhibited online with a particular fondness for exposing his, ahem, derrière. He was born in the Lorraine region of north-eastern France, but has lived in Nice for most of his life. Enjoy!
