Van Glam Magazine October 2012 Edition | Page 9

I specifically chose this photo set to show our viewers the realities of shooting any style of photography outside. The simple fact is it is not as glamorous as many think and many will not venture into situation like this because of any number of fears they may have.

Achieving interesting photos may mean shooting beside a homeless man who may awake at any moment in any possible mood. It may mean laying on rocks with many barnacle or laying in rocks that resemble sand and or laying in water that to the model is freezing cold.

In this case we wanted a graffiti filled wall and the best one came with a man sleeping beside his bicycle and this set of images taken one after the other demonstrates that a simple change in the angle of the camera crops the image to in fact show a a different reality.
