'I just enjoy being exposed in front of the camera.'
Being exposed was the response when after I asked South Carolina model Vic Fitz what it was he liked best about modeling, I think most of the world is divided into people who keep it close to the vest, and others who enjoy letting it all hang out. It's surprising how many models actually are more connected to the close to the vest group. Although they can still be incredible in front of the camera, it's like sanding against the grain, the results are still beautiful, the process not nearly as smooth and easy.
When models like Vic enjoy the exposure, you can feel it the final images, in their confidence and in the creative decisions that they make. With his great face, incredible body and classic good look, it's no surprise that Vic ended up in front of the camera. Although it wasn't originally on his radar, one of his friends that works at a modeling agency suggest he give it a try and it ended up being an excellent fit!
Enjoying being in front of the camera comes naturally to Vic, as does keeping his body in great shape for fitness shoots. Vic also shares he has very few boundaries when it comes to nudity and creative ideas and is open to whatever themes a photographer may want to explore. That includes some erotic dungeon shoots which Vic describes as a fun experience. Although there wasn't a dungeon in this particular shoot, there a few brick walls, iron bars and chains which adds a bit of a fun fetish feel in some shots.
This series was shot Bryant Criminger from Pinnacle Photo. When I last featured Bryant's work, it was an older shoot from 2004 featuring FH favorite Brandon Ruckdashel. (HERE:) Vic's shoot with Bryant was more recent, and I love the results of their work together. Bryant usually does outdoor shoots, taking advantage of the many great Myrtle Beach locations, not to mention the natural light from the sun.
'My favorite shoot was the first time I shot with Pinnacle in SC. He chose an excellent location. I could have stayed in that window with the breeze blowing all day. I first connected with Bryant on MM when he reached out to me about shooting. He is very professional and easy to work with. We did some great shots together. We definitely had to deal with people passing by which was part of the excitement and fun for me.'
