It’s been a very long time since I’ve created any new content…I have some images from my trip to London and Paris that I still need to post and I’m gonna give that one up to just being lazy. After months of not creating for myself I got into a funk; a funk that was made worse by work. It got to a point where I was just so exhausted, and there was so very many projects happening that I hit a wall. I had to create a magazine Ad one day and just stared at my computer for hours. I had nothing, could think of nothing, and felt nothing. I decided that I had to do something for me, so I reached out to Kevin.
Kevin and I had briefly chatted about this (and by briefly, I mean I mentioned it once and he was like yeah man) before he moved back to LA. Now he was here and I decided I would formally ask him if he would want to model for me, and he said sure.
Next problem was that I had no idea where to go for an affordable shooting studio. Lucky Will got back to a text I sent him in just a few minutes and I was booking a studio at FD Photo Studio soon after. The date was set, Mach 25, 2015 from 11am-3pm.
I met Kevin at a Starbucks in Studio City and chatted about the shoot, what to expect, what to bring, and how the process kind of worked. It was going to be a simple shoot, trying to use mostly window light and no crew, just me and him on set. I’m not gonna lie, I was all sorts of nervous for this shoot. I normally get a rush before any shoot, but I hadn’t done work like this in SO long and Kevin, to me, was a big deal. Someone I’ve followed almost from day one of being on Tumblr, someone I wanted to create great images for, and someone I didn’t want to look like a complete fool in front of. Well mission accomplished
Kevin is really a great guy, and I had him doing some ridiculous shit to get some shots, but he did it all with a smile. BTW Look at that smile! I’m so happy with how this all turned out, and I had so much fun doing it. I hope with will be the start of even more shoot. So here is the full set of image, enjoy!
