Takeshi Kitano portrait
Intense masculine energy with a delicate flower - lily - creating depth, coming from behind, wrapping over him to the front. The Styling is crisp and simple, no jewlery, no hat, no beard, no tats, to watch, no layers. The colors are warm. the feel is vintage. the composition simple yet refined.
Oi Polloi photoshoot
The lighting is simple. the shadow is dark. the vibe is playful. the last slid is a pose/composition you should try.
Yuthanan
The approach and documentation of a place/ hike / landscape with a fashion tilt/ lens. Images of hills, lakes, rocks, trees, flowers. All very achievable if you just take a hike at the right time. A fit pic, a shot of the shoes, a shot of the hand, a shot from the back.
Thoughts on Aaron Levine
There’s one thing people aren’t saying. He’s sexy. He’s pretty damn handsome. He’s got it going on. The long hair, the beard, the salt and pepper, showing a refined age. He is playing into an established archetype. He’s the hot teacher. He’s the hot friend’s dad. Long hair and beards always play into the playful slouch style. This looks doesn’t work with a crewcut and a clean shave. Showing skin is always sexy. And he’s not afraid to do it. Much like Matty Matheson he knows how to bring out some skin. Top two buttons undone, cuff button undone, sleeve pushed up, no socks, no socks is a slut move, lets be real.
