I recently had the opportunity to work with a new model named Olai, who had just signed with a modeling agency in New York. As a new model, Olai needed images to add to his portfolio, so we set up a development shoot in my studio in Oslo.
During the shoot, we worked on capturing a variety of different looks and moods, to showcase Olai's range on camera. Olai has a great bone structure so it was easy to capture some strong shots.
One of the challenges of working with a new model is helping them feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. As we got into the shoot and started trying different things, he really began to loosen up and enjoy himself. It's always rewarding as a photographer to see someone come out of their shell and start to really shine on camera.
I was really pleased with the results of the shoot. We captured a great variety of images that really show off Olai's potential as a model. I'm confident that these photos will help him stand out to potential clients and book more jobs in the future.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the shoot:
