John: Studio

There was a big debate prior to John's shoot whether he should shave his chest or not. While I'm not a big proponent of the shaved chest in general, I also understand that it serves its purpose photographically. We discussed splitting the shoot into two days, studio and outdoors, and thought we'd try having one be shaved and one regular. This ended up not happening. I liked his hair and saw no reason to get rid of it for the outdoor shoot a few days later. Those photos will get their own post.


John, for the record, is a sweetheart. These aren't necessarily his favorites, but they're some of mine.
All these photos were taken Oct 6, 2010, in Brooklyn.
