Downtown Bennett~
It's not too often I go into a project and don't know what the subject will look like and/or have never met or talked to. I enjoy the opportunity of meeting new clients: Phone calls / emails / meet and greet / previous shooting........something! As a photographer I'm around the camera quite a bit of course, but if someone said I was going to meet a complete stranger to take photos of me for a couple hours and I have to be completely cool, I'm not so sure I would be! Shooting with models is one thing , but this project's talent was a rookie. Or so I thought. Shy as he was , Bennett was very nice and ready/able to work with. I had a great time hanging with him and his mom on a lovely Sunday last week. Bennett has this completely genuine all American look that represents a Ralph Lauren or an American Eagle ad. If this is representative of his 'shy' look , wait till he gets comfortable in front of the camera even more so.....
