Me At Work...

Marc Chatov Workshop

Marc Chatov Workshop

Me at work.  I love it.

What I Love to Do...

This is what I love to do.  The past 5 weeks I've been posing for a artists  workshop in Atlanta run by a renowned artist named Marc Chatov.  I'm working hard but having a blast.  I wish it would last longer.  Great artists and the pay is not too bad.  Hopefully it will open up other opportunities in the future.

Project - Second Installment...

Dropped 8 pounds from the top to bottom photos.  Not sure if you can tell any weight loss since it would be quite subtle at this point.  Next session will be at the end of July which I hope to have an additional 10 pounds gone.  Not too bad so far.

SWM Photography Shoot...

 

Had a great shoot in  Richmond with Scott Medina of SWM Photography.  Wasn't sure if traveling over 500 miles for a TFP shoot would be worth it but the results were more than what I expected.  To get a chance to work with a talented and accomplished photographer, I'd do it again.  There are a couple of possibilities coming up this fall in NY and FL that I'm going to try to work out.  Things are looking up.

...and Sometimes It's More!

Earnest:  Well, yes, I must admit I smoke.

Another nice set from Amy Maddox.  

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

A couple of my new favorites from my favorite photographer, Amy Maddox of Macon.

Last images...

Here are the last two images from my Savannah session.  Each shoot I do I find that I learn more and more about modeling and photographer's expectations.  I hope I'm getting better.

Two more from LizardEye...

I typically don't like color images of myself.  But these two just seemed to lend themselves to keep color and not show them in B&W,.  It was a very productive shoot for me.  I learned much about how to prepare for a shoot, I wasn't, especially with a photographer who doesn't have a lot of experience shooting nudes.  But some fine images were created, in my opinion.

Just keep on working...

For some reason I love this shot.  I'm not sure why but maybe because it's kind of a body scape and it's a bit different from what I've done.  I'm finding the more I work the more comfortable I get in front of the camera and the more I want to experiment.  I just finished a shoot Monday the second in my project series and I have a time-for-print shoot out of town this weekend which I'm very much looking forward to.  And there's a possible shoot with another model coming, and... I've got a life art posing job for a summer workshop with a very famous artist coming up through June and July.  Just keep on working...

Working with quality artists...

It's such a pleasure to be able to work with quality photographers.  I got to do a shoot with Elizabeth Osterberger of Lizard Eye Photo in Savannah and was very pleased with the outcome.  Here's one of the images.
