The sly smile to the left belongs to Alex W. whom I worked with today in the studio. Alex has a smile as sweet as ice cream. It could sell bibles to Buddists. The trick here was to soft sell it. I think he did a great job.
The long photographic drought is over. For those of you who check this space frequently and have wondered why the weekly photo blog hasn't been updated in over a month, well it's because I haven't been busy -- photographically speaking. But that is about to change next weekend with the first of three shoots scheduled over the next month. I hope to have fresh work from each of those shoots posted in a more timely fashion. In the meantime I've posted a photo of Dwain from a prior shoot. Although not explicitly asked to create this effect, Dwain's position reminds me of a violin player. And good news, one of the upcoming shoots is a new shoot with Dwain. Also check out a book called "the Romantic Male Nude" due in book stores in mid August. It features two of my photographs as well as work by many, many more famous photographers.
