this image was based on a "pouty" look which we eventually realized was a learned skill.. after a number of attempts we changed over to a dark humor look..
model memoirs: this is the shot that made me most aware of how much training and discipline goes into modeling.. and in the end i never accomplished the pose..
gave another go at the previous shot, this time with a strobe.. the quality of light changed the mood from retro maritime to retro spy movie..
model memoirs: it's surprisingly difficult to pose with such an elegant tool of civilization and not look villainous.
i keep a folder of inspirational practice images. images of mine in this album are followed by the images i was referencing.
