Picture this…

Nick

I do photography on the side. It was a minor in college and at one point in my career I thought I’d do it full time. It’s tough work but I really love it and with advent of digital photography and Photo Shop it’s really taken on a whole new art form! ( I LOVE Photo Shop) My favorite thing todo is to find an “undiscovered”. Someone who has never modeled before and put the in front of my camera. Such is the case with Nick. He is young and still has a lot to learn but I see the potential there. I give him and some other models I work with who are just starting out the advice/homework to watch America’s Next Top Model because they have real life photo shoots and Tyra teaches these model hopefuls how to be a model, literally explaining the process and how to use their bodies and faces to make a great picture. It’s also about walking onto set/location and being able to bring something special or different for the camera and the photographer. It’s a tough business and I’m glad I’m BEHIND the camera! This picture to the left was taken this weekend at a location I love, a racket ball court. I like using unusual locations for the back drop to a shoot. Something unexpected.
