Sunset Run

Shipwrecked II - Adjusted

Although I posted this image several days ago, this version of the image has been reworked a bit in Photoshop. The colors pop slightly more and the skin tones are a bit more pleasing.

Spicify

This image of Bryan isn't my typical post. Taken from my first shoot of Bryan at a workshop, this rather unusual composition wasn't exactly planned, yet I do find it unusually pleasing. The original scan from color negative has been modified in Photoshop to enhance the colors and the textures.

Best Effort

I have posted this image of Bryan on this blog before, but I have recently been rescanning negatives of my work with Bryan and reworking favorite images in Photoshop. This effort is much better than the earlier post. I prefer the skin tones on this image, and I love the sharpness of the water droplets on his shoulders.

This image of model Bryan R. was shot near Long Beach. Bryan is wearing a strand of sea weed.

Waterfall

This is another image from a few years ago that I scanned recently. It's an image I didn't do much with when I originally shot it.

Bryan's fabulous trapezious muscles are the focus of the photo, but the water from the hot tub he is sitting in creates some interesting light and figure distortions that create a somewhat abstract effect.

Grotto

Bryan was one of the first models I ever photographed. The photos on this page are from my second photo session with him. The location is a deserted and dilapidated grotto on the Pacific coast near San Pedro, California.
Bryan had one of the most perfectly amazing physiques of any model I ever shot. He was not only large, but his proportions were balanced and his muscle definition was superb.
Not only that but he had a shy, sweet personality and was easy to work with as a model.
Some might say that his face could have been better lit in these shots, and I guess if I had an assistant along on the shoot, I probably would have used a reflector on it, but I like the way these turned out any way. Keeping his face in the shadows suggests a little of the shyness of his personality and brings out a little of his boyishness too.

I have lost track of Bryan over the years. I don't know where he lives or what he is doing now, but I hope he is well and I like to think he is still working out and in even better condition than he was seven years ago.
