Local bodybuilder I shot last week.

Dangit Zoomer!!!!....I asked you not to post my portrait online!!!

Is the camera tilted ( not your style) or is the wall leaning?

Im not crazy about the placement of his left arm. Just doesn't look natural enough for me.

The lighting, exposure, framing look great.

Hi Jeff,
I figured if I used your code name nobody would know it was you....then you go and give it away

.

He is vertical the wall is tilted.
Definitely not natural, he is posed just so against the light for maximum definition. He needed some shots for a magazine contest he is entering. Not sure this is the shot he will use, we got a lot of good stuff.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Maybe the wall was straight too - until he leaned against it!!!

Couldn't resist...

Agree his arm does look unnatural - but I figured you probably went that way to accentuate his muscles

zoomer · October 5, 2012

Thanks Qarik.

Aren't you worried that Alex is going to be mad that he isn't the "Chief Shirtless Stud" anymore?

Like the look!

I like that VayCayMom can finally get in on the oggling. It's usually reserved for the guys here.

Either he needs a belt or forget the jeans.

Thanks! Appreciate everyone who took the time to comment.

nice. don't really know what else to add. the arm placement doesn't bother me at all, and the sagging jeans don't bother me either. i like seeing the calvin kleins peeking out.

Nope... the house is falling over, and he is holding it up!

Great shot. Looks like maybe Abercrombie & Fitch would use it.

wow!
Props for both - model and the 'tog.
That is a hell of a lot of work put into that body...

what I don't get is how much was cropped? 1/500 at f2, i'm surprised to see that his whole frame is in focus. how?

Jack, they wouldn't consider him as he is too much of a man. $:\$ Their normal model line up is way disappointing.

zoomer · October 9, 2012

I think this is with the 85mm at F2. I cropped a bit off the bottom. I believe this is the original from his gallery:

Great gallery, he must be very happy with them. Great light.

Mitchell · October 9, 2012

I think this is great. I love the toning you chose. It works perfectly.

zoomer · October 10, 2012

Thanks again.
Yes they were very happy with them. Last week one of his sponsors from a supplement company used two of the shots as large posters in their booth at a local health fitness show.
