• Beautiful Magazine: Simon Howard is a rising star. Not only in the tasteful portfolio of photographer Simon ‘Hotsnapz’ Barnes, but also in the exciting world of competitive bodybuilding. Simon is 25 years old, and lives in Colchester Essex, United Kingdom. Yes we know. Hardly the capital of the ancient Roman Empire, but with his length of 5’11 Simon would most certainly not have been misplaced in the old Forum or on the roof of one of the ornate temples.
