Anthony Duran is a photographer who has long been immersed in the adult entertainment industry.
I caught up with Anthony for a behind-the-scenes look at Nasty Daddy and Gentlemen’s Closet – the porn studies that he runs with his business partner Trenton Ducati.
The origin story
“I knew from my junior year of high school that I wanted to be a photographer…” confirms Anthony, when I ask him how he got his start in the business. “Right out of college, I assisted a number of fashion photographers. I thought I would end up in fashion.”
“At a party in Hollywood, I met a porn photographer – Jeff Burton – and I started assisting him. I inherited his job when he left the studio we were working for.”
The business of porn
“I think that there will always be a market for studios who put time into casting and production…” says Anthony, as we discuss the place of studios within a rapidly evolving porn distribution landscape. “It’s much nicer to look at hot guys that look good rather than skanky guys in bad light – although, there is also a market for that.
“With Nasty Daddy, we like masculine sets – work-shops, garages, and gyms. We feel the setting is the story or the fantasy. For Gentlemen’s Closet, it’s more thought out because
it’s more about dressing the model and what we put on their feet.”
“Models never want to rehearse, that’s what’s made me a good director. I can come up with crazy sex positions on the day of the shoot.”
“Models come to us many different ways – agents, Twitter, or word-of-mouth.”
Who’s your Daddy?
“Any scenes with Dale Savage, Drew Sebastian, Trenton Ducati, and Jack Dixon in them are always popular…” confirms Anthony, when I ask him which guys subscribers to Nasty Daddy really get into.
“Nasty Daddy fans love a hairy muscle daddy who is ready to take charge. Lots of fans love hairy armpits, nipple play, verbal, and ass-to-mouth.”
“We normally try and put out one new update a week. With Covid-19, we have all models tested and then we quarantine them before the shoot. The safety of our talent and crew are very important.”
Dressed to impress
“Before we got involved, Gentlemen’s Closet had been around for a couple years…” explains Anthony, when I ask him where the concept for this niche studio came from. “My business partner, Trenton Ducati, had done some modeling for them.”
“When the site came up for sale, Trenton thought it would be a great idea to buy it and start making our own content for the site.
“It turned out to be a huge success and we now both really love the site and its members – and we’re now both really into sheer socks.”
“When we’re filming for Gentlemen’s Closet, we always start the scene with a nice tailored suit and sheer socks. We move on to stockings and garters for the sex. We get to put the models in some sexy lingerie while still keeping everything really masculine. It’s a huge turn-on for us.”
“We encourage our subscribers to email us with their requests – whether it’s for specific models they want to see or aspects of the fetish that they want to explore.”
“From a clothing perspective, sheer socks, garters, thongs, and stockings are always really popular. If we can make the fantasies of our subscribers come true, then we will. We love all of the feedback we get.”
Plans for the future
“In the months ahead, my plans are to try to keep shooting hot original content and keep everyone involved safe…” says Anthony, when I ask him what’s on his agenda.
“I also want to spend more time with my boyfriend, Dale Savage. I’m not just saying that because he’s going to read this, it’s actually true!”

A few of the guys, hot. Some of the scenes, just not my thing. Nice read.
Not for me but thanks.
a few nice looking guys
I’m sorry but any kind of lingerie on a man looks fucking stupid AF
Well, it really depends. If the man is a drag queen (or a transvestite), that’s one thing. And, there are some guys who get off wearing women’s lingerie (and there is actually female-style lingerie that is actually made for men, with the male body in mind–where you don’t have to figure out how to keep your balls and dick from constantly falling out) or who get off watching other guys wearing lingerie.
If you don’t like it, that’s entirely on you. Just like tattoos or body hair or piercings, everyone’s got their own tastes. If they don’t work for you, then pass on by (granted, tats aren’t quite the same as lingerie since lingerie can come off much more easily than getting rid of a tattoo).
For what it’s worth, at least the guys shown here in lingerie have good bodies and can pull off the look.
“.. sexy lingerie while still keeping everything really masculine.” huh? And “..sheer socks, garters, thongs, and stockings are always really popular.” Hate to break it to ya, but there’s nothing masculine about sheer socks (we called them Thick n’ Thins back when Motown was in their heyday, and were worn by the brotha’s who could pull it off)
For me lingerie on a masculine man is a bone killer. If I’m at work and I need to get my bone down it rates right up there with thinking about old nuns or dead squirrels alongside the road.
these pictures look ridiculous
Fuck! I just love watching men wear stockings, garters and panties. I think that’s just bloody sexy as all hell. No! I’m not into cross-dressers or trans women (nothing wrong with them just not for me). But I like a muscle man in hot panties (not that cheap ass lacy shit from La Senza but actual hot lingerie from Victoria Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood).
I’m right there with you, TheBlackMinotaur – something about the juxtaposition really works for me. Gareth.
A lot of hot men
What’s up with that bad dye job on the dudes beard? (deduct 10 hot points)
Holy hell those are some hot men! I love masculine guys in nylons
I would choose Gentlemen Closet, if they would have me.
