from the top!

this is an inevitable shot, of course, as the ideas have run dry or wouldn't pan out. poor guy's been through a lot, if it was a live model it would've sued my ass big time for abuse and overuse.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

@bill_fe - the sixth shot.

Models can be so unreasonable! 😉. Nice balance of shadows and highlights.

I like the perspective, makes me smile. I do agree that it doesn't show his best side though and can imagine unhappiness from the model!

I think it is an awesome perspective! I'm very impressed with how creatively you have been able to shoot him this week!

[Dixie Goode]

This is very much a fun subject who you don't want to annoy. Having him wanting revenge might be worse than being sued.

You could call this a "pot (belly)" shot!
