Street Style With Leo
I hooked up with Leo again and this time we shot some street wear stuff. I've wanted to shoot more street stuff and thankfully I've found a willing model. The heat wasn't as unforgiving as usual so we were able to shot in the early afternoon without melting. The clouds also acted as great light diffusers so we didn't have to fight with harsh light and shadows. Our location was downtown around Main street. Leo wants to get into modeling so he's already pretty good in front of a camera and I didn't have to give a ton of direction. Plus he had already scouted ahead of time and found a cool location (which helped make my job a lot easier). But I was still climbing on stuff and lying in the street trying frame interesting compositions. I guess you can say we ended up going with a neo-retro style for this shoot. We got a nice mix of backgrounds ranging from grungy to vibrant. Leo styled himself with a black top and some light pants so that worked in our favor to add even more contrast to our images. I only got panhandled by 2 bums which is a pretty good number for me and I didn't sweat a ton so this was another great day. Also one of these shots is one of the finalists for an Urban Outfitters ad so are fingers are crossed.
