Sooo... about those chicks...
If you remember back to Tom's Groundhog shoot, you'll remember a stuffed rodent was part of the shoot. Although Tom planned on 'borrowing' real chicks to scamper across Benjamin's butt, he had few toy fake chicks on reserve. Thankfully, our chicks were relatively cooperative and the toy chicks were not needed. Tom purchased the chicks from a tractor and farm supply store. The store clerk was glad to hear that Tom had already ensured he had a home, (farm) to drop them off to after the shoot.
'I have used bunnies, chicks, and ducks every year when I used to photograph children for an Easter Kids Photo special. The kids loved the chicks. They do however poop a lot... (the chicks not the kids). It is impossible to keep their pen (a cardboard box) clean. Just as soon as I would change the water, they would walk through it and dirty it up.'
'Benjamin was a very cooperative model. He had no qualms about the chicks on his butt and enjoyed the experience working with them. He didn't say how it felt to have them on his butt, but it took a lot of tries to get the chicks to stay in place. They kept jumping out of the basket and it was very hard to get them posed nicely on his butt. Wish I would have tried a few more times to get them in a better position, but I didn't want to spend too much time placing chickens on Benjamin's butt LOL'
'Benjamin wasn't shy about being nude, even with chicks running over his body.. In fact, most models will put their pants back on while I am fussing with lights and props. When I needed help with setting some things up he didn't bother to get dressed to do it. He got up on a ladder to adjust a light I had in the ceiling without a thought about being nude. It made for a very comfortable session. . He was very enthused about all my suggestions and was very creative putting his own spin on them. In short it was a very enjoyable and productive session.'
