The photos were turned into a calendar and proceeds go to the non-profit veterans group, Wheelers for the Wounded in California

Joshua Varozza is not your typical model, but he is capturing hearts around the country in a sexy ocean-themed photo series.

The 32-year-old bearded and tattooed bail bondsmen first burst into the modeling scene when he partnered with photographer Tami Bears for a "God Bless America" photo shoot in June.

Varozza showed off his country style and struck sexy poses on cars and in a field.

"We went viral last June when our God Bless America shoot went viral and since then we've made a calendar," said Bears. "All proceeds benefit our local veterans group, Wheelers for the Wounded of California."

Based on the success of that photo series, Bears and Varozza teamed up again for the "Dudeoir Beach Collection."

The new collection features Varozza transforming into a sexy Baywatch lifeguard and posing as a seductive "merman." Bears also hopes to bring a little laughter into people's lives as summer officially comes to an end.

"It's tough transitioning back to school and with summer ending we hoped we could really make folks laugh again just when they feared it was over," said Bears.
