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.

    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. mwink.gif

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

    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. :D

    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.
