Since he's a barber, we had to include his work tools in the photos to evoke that theme.
We tried different poses to get a variety of shots, and then in post production, we selected our favorites.
It's rare to find guys as photogenic as he was, he looked great in every shot. He was very easy to work with and had a really cool friendly vibe!
For all the photos, I used my Canon R8 camera with a 50mm lens at f/2.8 and two light sources: a flash with a diffuser as the main light, positioned 45 degrees from the subject, and an LED light panel as a secondary light behind the subject to create a rim-lighting effect.
We took the following photos with him seated, for which I used a posing cube on the set.
The guy wanted his leg tattoo to show, so I positioned him slightly to the side to highlight it more.
Since his tattoo was important to him, I suggested the next shot, and he loved it!
At this point in the photoshoot, we were satisfied with the results and decided to wrap it up. He was super happy with his photos.
I hope you liked them as much as I did, and thanks for watching my post!
