24 — Tom
Recently Spadge & I were contacted by a friend of hers, Tom. He’s been hanging out with some model types in Paris & they had managed to convince him to build a portfolio. We of course were happy to help.
I concentrated on some sharp head-shots & signature strobist action (which I’ll feature on my site later this week) & Spadge captured some awesome life style shots. During the course of the evening we covered about 6 different locations each time Spadge & I alternated our rolls of photographer and assistant . Working like this meant we managed to put together a pretty decent portfolio for Tom in a single night. Boom!
Just look at that jawline — he was born to be in front of the camera.

Behind the scenes because behind the scenes is awesome. The ring flash to the right wasn't used in this shot fyi.
