Shoot with Deshawn

before i start - Connor - dude , you rock! The most fun I've had at at shoot in a long while! Thank you for the company and your help!

I don't think there's too much to write about here in terms of technical stuff - overpowering the sun with one Elinchrom Ranger and that's about it. The mixing and matching the colors was the fun part. This time it all fell into place somehow. I had an idea about the location, we did manage to buy some clothes (Scarf and pants courtesy of Ross lol.

i knew right away that working with Deshawn will be awesome. What a great model this guy is! He followed my every blink, every little tweak like a pro! It was almost impossible to communicate clearly because of the waterfall (a really small artificial waterfall on some plastic rocks, may I mention, but yet, very loud)

The goal of the shoot was to create 3. maybe four looks around the same concept. The initial concept was something scandalous and sexy and LaChapelle like. The clothes that we had begged to differ, so i just went ahead and changed it in my head real quick. You can't go wrong with dark skin and red colors. Add white and you have your royal combo of colors. always looks good!

I was pleased to see that the color photos got an extremely warm welcome on Euro phot forums. I was equally shocked by some of the responses in the 90 percent American forums, were people called the shots, gay, icky, vomit causing and so on... Albeit i heard it from the folks who primarily shoot high school seniors and pics of their dogs, but nonetheless i was quite displeased by the level of fucking ignorance.
