A Daring Model

My model Xandir and I decided to use the theme "The Depressed Business Man" for a photo shoot we did together. Walking along the waterfront near one of Portland, Oregon's many bridges he spotted this walkway that led from the street above down to the park area near the water.

"Maybe we could get a few shots of me hanging over the edge," he said. I snapped away as he tried many different poses. Until I got home to edit the photos, I didn't realize just how dangerous some of his poses were. Granted, he is a very strong man with a dancer's body, but I think one small slip with the hands qualifies this as a close call.

You can see all the photos from this shoot on my website: www.PhotographThe Verb.com

    This is very awesome. I love the color..or well, non-color and the way his body is hanging. Very nice shot.
