Paul Bedroom #2

Paul - Bedroom #1

The harshness of the surrounding room removed focus from Paul. In this and others of the series to come, I blurred focus on his surroundings and increased the contrast on Paul's body, to make his physique pop.

This picture is another one from the archives. When Paul came to the shoot I mentioned I wanted to take his picture in bed with roses scattered all around him. We spent a few minutes "staging" the room. We put the furniture askew, scattered some loose clothes around and mussed up the bed. Then Paul undressed and completed the scene.

The series we shot is one of the best of my career as a photographer, because Paul really put himself into the scene emotionally and creatively. This shot is one of the best of the best.

The second photo is from a series we shot in color.
