Headshots for male models

Eric asked us to shoot a small portfolio of images to help start a modeling career. We shot in a patio outside his house in Manhattan Beach. We used natural light and one studio strobe with a large rectangular soft box. The background for this shot is a black velvet theater curtain hung on a background stand.
