"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!" - Ted Grant

This shoot happened to be a lot of fun. I really hadn't been shooting a lot of males, and i wanted to change that. Over October break, i had had lunch with some of the soccer players (as no one else was on campus) and we had talked about doing a GQ shoot. They followed through and i was able to play around with black and white and color portraits. I wanted to really try and do a Avedon themed shoot, focusing less on fashion and more on just capturing people. While i'm not sure that was what i captured, i really liked the fact that some of them came out to look like movie promotion pictures or stills that carried and FBI or Interrogation theme... while others looked more like a boy band shot. Regardless, i was happy to work with Tim, Cleyon, Nolan, and Jhevaughn and it was over all a fun shoot. Not my best work, but nonetheless a good time.
