If You See Me.... Carlos L by Serene Photography


'If you see me walking down the street.....'


Unlike in the Dionne Warwick son, when Mark form Serene Photography saw Carlos walking down the street, he didn't just keep on walking by.  Today, most photographers and models connect on-line, but there was a time when photographers asked total strangers on the street about shooting.  


Approaching hot guys about letting you photograph them wearing little clothing comes with it's own set of risks.  Having a guy say no isn't really the response a photographer could get... I love hearing however, stories about photographers finding models while at the gym, the park or just when just out walking down the street.


'Carlos was walking up the street and I spotted him. It was mainly his hair that caught my eye, but when I asked him if he had any portraits done, he gave ne a great smile and was willing to have a go in front of the camera. '


When Mark sent me on his images of Carlos, I could totally see what caught his eye and prompted him to ask Carlos about a shoot.  Carols has stunningly unique look.  Beautiful but strong face and features, incredible physique and piercingly powerful dark eyes. As hot as Carlos looks with his shirt off, he looks equally stunning dressed, especially in his white shirt and jacket.


It's fortune that Mark happened to spot Carlos that day on the street.  If they hadn't connected that day, the shoot most likely would never have happened.  Carlos wasn't a model, and after this shoot he moved away, making future shoots impossible.  


Mark would have loved to have shot him again, and captured more looks and themes.  Mark's grateful however, that he initiated a conversation that day and was able to capture and share what initially caught his eye.
