COSMO's Mr. South Carolina

This is a friend of mine, Cory McCrummen. Some may recognize him as Cosmo Magazine's "Mr. South Carolina." He won the popular vote for bachelor of the year, was selected as a finalist by the judges, and nearly won the contest.

This summer he is planning on living in Los Angeles to pursue acting/ modeling. He needed a few new photos for his portfolio, once again, I'm still practicing as often as possible.

Nice portraits! i liked the last 5 portraits more than the first three of cory.

Oh and dont get me wrong but you should also enter that contest yourself!

HAHA My thoughts exactly.

Haha! Thank you both for the compliments.

I like being behind the camera, but it's not bad to step out in front once in a while.

Can you tell that this is the third time that I've ever used studio lights and/or a backdrop?

well in my humble newbie opinion: no

Awesome! Thanks. I'm getting better!

This was a result from my last (second) attempt:

The third shot of cory would have been better with a more manly look instead of the cheesy grin. your is nice too, dont like the girl with the mouth open.

Good call. I agree with the comment about Cory.

Thanks for looking!

Here's a more flattering/traditional one of Shaylen. Tell me what you think!



(Except for the bra-strap! I should've payed more attention while shooting - but I'm learning! I cloned them out of the last one.)

Raise your lights up and angle them down more.

Good strobe work resembles desirable sunlight... something a teacher told me, and something that I always keep in mind.

Thanks for the tip! I had not heard that, but it makes perfect sense!

I'll give it a try next time that I shoot.
