I think this was my first time shooting in a bathroom….. I mean I have done it at home so I could use the shower as a backdrop… but never a closed down public bathroom. I bet it was the first time make up artist Cindy Vazquez went all out next to a urinal. Well enough about us… I know all you want to read about, if you’re reading this at all, is model Orlando Medina. The 27 year old from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, came from a humble background and now has a Masters in Accounting as well as 86kg (190lb) of muscle.
"What ws really funny about this location was how random people kept walking into the shot," Stylist Isaac King explained. Someone had unlocked the bathroom door and didn't tell us. "Including the nosy 19 year old."
"For this being my first photo shoot it is easy to understand why I felt nervous, self conscious, and a little intimidated. After all my wardrobe was just a jockstrap. But if I learned anything from this experience, it was when this guy walked in to what should have been a closed bathroom and proceeding to one of the stalls to relieve himself as if it was business as usual. Guess when your mind is focused nothing can stand in its way, lol." - Model Orlando Medina
