PHOTOGRAPHER: Darius Bashar
MODEL: Mitchell "Mufasa" Stern
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT:
Mitch was super easy to work with. Very chill, very sensitive and a great listener. 3 qualities you want in a model. Mitch took direction extremely well. The moment that stands out the most for me is when we started experimenting with more advanced poses. I wanted to push his expressions a bit further to see what we could capture and I remember asking him to embrace his inner "Coachella Dude". Before I could finish saying Coachella Mitch tossed his hair, dropped his shoulders and nailed the look. We both died laughing and I almost fell to the floor. It was a riot. See if you can identify the Coachella photo below.
ONE LESSON FROM THIS SHOOT:
These shoots are intended to be fun. It's totally cool to laugh your ass off and experiment with the model. Just make sure they are laughing too.
