This Jam's for the Ladies

It has been a LONG time since I have done an artistic portrait just for the purpose of shooting portraits. I had forgotten how much I enjoy it.

This is Bobby Schindler. He does a lot of public speaking, and needed a new head shot. I can get a headshot in about 8 seconds. So I did that, and we did some other work.

Obviously, Bobby is physically fit. That is fun to play with. It isn't often that you get a perfect human form, and someone you are comfortable enough with and who is comfortable enough with you to say, "Hey, man. Take off your shirt." That is wrong in so many contexts, but it works here.

Bobby, who used to model for catalogues, admitted that he was never good at posing. That was exactly what he was saying when I snapped the shutter here. I like the natural look to the faux-pose. I shouldn't have cropped his hand, but I didn't like the look of it framed any looser, so I did it the way I want.

I have a few more images of Bobby that I would like to share, and he is a totally fascinating guy. I'll share some images and some more of his story, much of which you probably know if you were alive and had a TV last year. Look for that over the next few days.
