"Emerge" with Gino - Part One

Added 2023-06-27 02:38:54 +0000 UTC

Thank you for your support! I've got a two-parter since I managed to capture a LOT of adorable photos featuring first time model (and long time fan) Gino Ross.

Did you know Gino also interviewed me for their Podcast? That's right, more information on that soon. It was quite the conversation!

Gino approached me to be painted because I was looking for plus sized models to represent my new series, "The Shape of You". I hope you enjoy the joyous results! The studio welcomes ALL body types.

To start things off, the header was made with Gino in mind since he likes the high fantasy style of editing. There were already clouds built into the backdrop, so I added a few more for texture, of course!

This is fun of course, but you're a Patron. You like to see how it all comes together, and that's what I'm here to to do! So let's start at the beginning. Almost!

You may not realize this, but I frequently love making my models laugh in the middle of a serious shot. Not always of course, because that would be terrible, but I absolutely crack jokes in the middle of unexpected moments.

This means I capture some silly expressions (though most are never shared, because I opt for the polished looks). Today I'd like to revel in Gino's happiness, so you'll be seeing a lot of it here!

I really love how happy he looks in the photo above, and how absolutely camp he is in the photo below. What do you think?

Are you missing the more serious poses? Don't worry, I have you covered!

Gino has a creative background as well, and enjoys editing photos. I gave him permission to edit the photos I send him, so you might see one in the future!
