Considering this was my first time photographing men as models, and their first time being models, I think we did a pretty good job! Ben & Ryan were interested in getting professional headshots for their acting careers and exploring the world of modeling by developing an overall portfolio. I wanted to create images that appeared to be in very masculine settings which I think I was able to do with the use of angular and sparse backgrounds. It was especially interesting trying to bring out the unique features in each person while shooting them at the same time. Much more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I found myself comparing them and trying to make one pose in a similar way to the other when in reality their stances and postures were so completely different that it really wasn't possible. It definitely taught me that I should really just focus on one person at a time in order to give them the best personalized results. Ryan & Ben loved their pictures and I think all of their friends and family were pleased as well. I just hope that the images will help them find extra work!
