As soon as I saw this look on Sean, the first look Isaac put together, I knew it was going to make for a stunny headshot. The way the colors all popped and worked together really spoke to me. Isaac and I jumped right in and I was so focused on the technical execution that at one point, while I was testing the lights, I was all up in Sean’s grill making sure everything was aimed right. “Feel weird yet?” I asked with a slight smile.
“In the beginning I did want to know what was going through everyone’s mind,” Sean added. “I wanted to know if they thought I was doing a good job or if i had any life, but as the shoot progressed I got more comfortable and had fun.”
“I really loved this shot! Isaac proclaimed. “Its the kind of pic that reassures me that I know what I’m doing! Yeah I said it! Lol!”
- MUA Brandon Phillips and Sean Crack a smile while prepping for the second pic. “Sean was actually a pleasure to work with and full of smiles and laughter; even though his photos are much to the contrary,” commented Brandon.
“Its funny how things work out when we have shoots,” Isaac added. “I needed a cardigan for this look. Coincidentally, my assistant Joseph Valenté had one in his car. It was perfect!”
"I liked standing on the roof, it was exciting, a little bit cold, but exciting. I wasn't really scared, except for the few times i looked down, but it gave me a charge. " - Model Sean Parris
Ok... what Sean didn't mention was he was about a foot from the edge of the roof...... He made me nervous when he leaned to his left! Joseph added "I was terrified that Cody (the puppy he randomly brought to the shoot) would jump off the roof, but I'm glad he was too scared to move! LOL."
Sean and Cody vie for your attention.
Stylist Isaac King makes a mess..... again! Brandon added, "it's another hard day's work for the makeup artist who has to oil up a hot model...haha."
Valenté (R) also commented, "We'd all been making jokes up to that point, but once we started shooting, we just paid attention to how focused he was. His intensity really changed the mood of the set."
"I was a little self conscious about the closet scene at first, all the eyes made me swallow just a little bit harder, I wanted to make sure I came off natural, and loose." - Model Sean Parris
