James' "James Dean" Shoot 22 May 2011

James is one of those models who just makes it so easy to get great shots... When we discussed the shoot earlier in the week, James presented me with a bunch of sample shots outlining the kind of mood that he wanted to create...  The images were mainly studio shots.  After starting in studio, we decided to go to a location that would give the feeling of James Dean's iconic "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" photograph...  Armed with the D2H, a cokin graduated filter and a reflector, we went to Service Lane 6 in Vereeniging...
I opted for monocrome only, to give a 60's feel to the shots...  It was refreshing to shoot naturally, without the technical entrapments of much of my recent fashion work....  Enjoy the images.....

 

















Well done James!  You made this shoot what it is!
