I had the opportunity to shoot for a new release of a men's clothing line last week. It was a last second deal and the website launched almost immediately after the shoot. They had tried a few times to get pics themselves and with another guy and were very unsuccessful. I had met the owner a few times last summer at my gym and at a fight a few months ago. Out of the blue I got a call from him to do this shoot. This is a first for me and great to get this under my belt.
I imported the pics to LR sharpened and pumped up the clarity and contrast a little then exported to my site for them to grab the night of the shoot. So really no editing from me. Here is what they put together. Check it out and let me know what you think. 100% of the pics are mine.

I need to post a few of my favs that I did some extra work on myself.

    Very cool man. Congrats.

    You did an awesome job. Really fits the mood of the clothing and site. That backdrop, did it have the logo or did you drop that in in post?

    Thanks man!

    On the logos, nope. I did no real work in post. Gave em pics and they went to work. So they expanded the backgrounds and added logos and such. I didn't even get to sort em. They got the goods and the junk all together. Just with a few setting synced across the catalog in LR before export. I hate doing that. I was so nervous not getting to sort and edit the pics.

    Here are a few that I expanded the background on and did a little extra mojo in Photoshop.

    Thanks guys!!

    The guy with the big hair totally rocked it. He worked it like a model. The light in his hair was so cool. It is really what made his shots shine. The other guy was just some regular looking guy. Sort of scrungy actually. He hopped in there and every shot was "BAMM". I guess that is what you call naturally photogenic. I have never had the pleasure of experiencing that before. It was awesome. I wouldn't mind shooting either of these guys again for anything.
