'I'd say Roger helped me get more comfortable in my own skin than I have felt in quite some time.'
Some of you may remember Shane, whose images by rmark_photography I first featured last month on Valentines. (Change of Heart) Regular readers know FH is all about story, and I love the story of how Shane came to be in front of Rogers camera. Sometimes an photographers goal is create beauty through their skill and artistry. My favorite images however, are those when the photographer's goal is capture an existing beauty that they want celebrate and share.
Roger noticed Shane on Instagram where Shane had been posting selfies chronicling his profess with working work. At the time, Shane was posting selfies, and had never modeled or posed for a professional photograph. When the Savannah photographer initially reached out about a shoot, Shane had a lot of questions, but was curious ad intrigued at the idea and eventually agreed to a shoot. Roger drove down to Washington where Shane lives and rented a hotel room for the shoot.
'After Roger reached out to me and said he liked the progress I was showing with my fitness transformation and offered a photo shoot, I was quite interested in putting the fruits of my labor in an artistic medium, so I accepted. He was very encouraging, positive, innovative, and clever with his ideas and vision for the shoot and looks we put together. I'd say Roger helped me get more comfortable in my own skin than I have felt in quite some time.'
'Photographing in a hotel room has a lot of challenges, but we used a variety of lighting, and backgrounds. We also tried to have some variety to Shane's look by shooting images with Shane's full beard, and also trimming it down to a scruff. Shane look very different from one photograph to the next, going from serious to playful. Shane was great to work with and I hope that I get to work with him again.'

Adam is a great looking guy, and I'm glad that this photoshoot helped him to see that.
