'You could break rocks on that chin!'
Just before Christmas, I introduced FH readers to a drenched Dane in the shower by Melbourne photographer macpics. (HERE:) I loved Dane's distinctive look and so infatuated that I asked Ian if I could check out more from the shoot and feature more of their work together. As hot as Dane looks in the shower, the location was a little limiting when it comes to movement.
Dane has such a striking and beautiful overall look, starting with his great face and that strong chiselled jaw that Ian referenced. The solidity of Dane's face and jaw flows downward with an incredible tight body, fit from hours working out in the gym and Dane's dedication to his career as a professional dancer.
Dane's dance experience clearly impacts his poses and I love the long lines and moments of movement he creates in front of Ian's lens. There's a contemporary vibe to Dane's body movements, and I love the look and character Dane creates. It's almost as if Bob Fosse was choreographing a sexy hip hop number.
I also especially love how Dane's silky skin looks in front of the red backdrop. Those of you familiar with my previous pieces featuring Ian's work (HERE) recognize the velvet red curtain that Ian has shot many of the models he's worked with in front of.
Bright backdrops, especially red, can beautifully play off a models clothing, skin tone and eyes. There's a reason red is one of the most popular colors of lipstick. Red can be incredibly dramatic and the color, and Ian's lighting, serves Dane well and really works to have the images pop.
