To Shoot A Black Wolf.

Recently I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the ridiculously handsome Taisen Blackwolf - a Model Mayhem model, and dear friend. One evening after enjoying some pasta, quite a few laughs, and a couple glasses of wine, we embarked upon a photo shoot.

A black backdrop and some off camera flash in my lounge room, made for an excellent make-shift studio. Taisen is so much fun to shoot - having previously modelled for a few Creative Photo Workshops, workshops - the night rolled on effortlessly, one giggle after another.

Knowing how to pose for the light is extremely vital for a model to understand. After all, photography is all about light! So, having had this skilled acquired through CPW, Taisen was able to make my job much easier.

Being that he was so blatantly good looking, it was definitely a challenge for me to photograph him, let me tell you!

After we finished shooting in the lounge, we ventured out to the carport where a family friend had parked his vintage motorbike for us to use. Taisen was no stranger to this bike, as he had previously donned himself upon it for CPW's, 'Shoot-A-Hunka' workshop.

Yep, I was definitely in my element. A motorbike, off camera flash, and a hot guy. Does it get much better than this..?

Photographically speaking, of course!

Two flash units were set up. One behind Taisen to create rim lighting, and the other on a 45 degree angle in front of Taisen, to cast some light onto his face.

With this simple set up, we were able to capture some great images without much hassle. All in all, it was a great shoot which yielded a fabulous result.

Thank you, Taisen. It's always a great pleasure photographing you! I'm really looking forward to doing it again soon! :)
