I always love when i get the chance to work with someone who’s not a model. Most people seem to think that they don’t photograph well. But I think that given the right circumstance and concept, anyone can be great.
Doc is the bouncer at the Tennyson, and had seen some of the other tarot cards and was telling me how much he liked them. I looked at him for a moment and then knew that he’d be great for the King of Swords. He has just the kind of imposing and menacing frame that really suits what I wanted for this card.
The shoot was easy and straightforward and I think turned out exactly right.
I do like this one….he is menacing, but there is also something gentle about him. Very well done! (maybe crop out the jeans, though?)
@sassyshannon999: I was torn on the jeans. I half wanted them in because they humanize him and I wanted to see the hands, and I half wanted them out because they aren’t quite as goth. I dunno.
He’s also good with fish!
(And nice shot, btw. Perfect sword for the look.)
Actually he’s ruggedly Kingly! Nice choice!

@protomelas: thank you. It was his, when he told me he had it, I thought it would work just fine.
@lrayholly: thank you. I’m happy with it.
I really dig it Doc! It’s definitly you, you look like you could be on *Braveheart* or something…
@transylvanianhunger: That’s a great description. He totally does. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, he’s like a double for Johhny Van Zant, singer for Lynard Skynard.
Nice series. Enjoyed them.
@scphotog: thank you. Hopefully I’ll manage to finish the entire thing sometime soon.
