Meet Leo Franco.
The first time I worked with Leo it was like olden times. I forgot to line up a make-up artist or a stylist and didn’t realize it until the day before, so I did the whole shoot by myself. it must have been a crazy week or something… or maybe I was just being blond again. Its very rare that I do I shoot all by myself. I love having other professionals there to add in their talents and to bounce ideas off of.
Useually, when I shoot indoors, I like to use a number of flashes for each shot. This look was actually achieved with a big silver reflector and window light.
This image and the others where you see a new and improved hair style on LEO, were taken in a boutique for a magazine feature.

I love how his eyes pop in this frame.
The whole time we were shooting this frame we were joking that he looked like Agadore Spartacus in the 'Bird Cage.' Can you believe those are plastic plates from Target. I loved the look, but my friends said there lighter than air core made them tacky and collegiate...... why do I have to grow up? ... You know I returned those things the next day!
