Poindexter Simon (1 of 5)

After seeing the ZAAZ London photos, Simon asked me if I'd help with a gift for his girlfriend: some photos of himself portraying different sides of his personality. He is ADORABLE and super personable and I really looked forward to doing this!In the end we shot five different looks on one Saturday. I liked them all so much that I'm going to show all 5 in separate posts. So today, here's one: Simon as Piondexter!We shot this in a library-style conference room off of the the fancy lounge in our office building (I used the lounge for several of the ZAAZ photos). I used my Speedlite/Lastolite umbrella combo, balanced with the window light, for several of the shots. The wardrobe was all his - and it was PERFECT! Except for the glasses, which are a prop I had on hand. All earth tones, all mismatched patterns - and in the middle of this black-and-bright-color library. Just sweet. Killer poses, too. Simon, you are amazing.
