Spring Tune-Up: Isaac by Michael von Redlich


'I'm so excited for all of the colors that spring will bring, as well as more car photography.'


I've been writing recently about the signs of spring.  Most are visual, or hit and affect the human bodies senses in some way.  Others... are more practical or habitual.  For many of us, spring also means it's time to take our cars in for their annual spring tune-up.   


I know some people choose to do winter tune-ups, but given how much snow we get in the rural area where I live, I don't do as much recreational driving in the winter.  It's during the summer I take road trips, head to the city and visit my siblings, some who live a six hour drive away.  I usually wait until April, and after our last snow.  I'm hoping the spring dump of the white stuff we got this week was the last, meaning it's time for me to make an appointment. 


The last time we saw model Isaac Green, it was in the dead of winter.  New Hampshire based model was naked, shivering his ass off, as photographer Michael von Redlich captured Isaac surrounded by ice and snow. (HERE:)  Since I've featured Michael's work with Isaac throughout the fall and winter, it only made sense celebrate their work with a spotlight in spring.


As a huge car enthusiast, model Isaac was excited when Michael suggested they shoot with a collection of modern and classic automobiles.   Michael sent along several different shoots with Isaac posing on, and in a series of cars.  This series, featuring Isaac tinkering under the hood of a Honda CRV, was one of my favorites.


'Shooting with these cars is such a blast, though I often get distracted by their beauty and have trouble preventing myself from nerding out about the details with the owners.'


It was a little warmer on the day of this shoot, than the January shoot in the snow.  It wasn't exactly warm though, and there was still quite a chill in the air.  Isaac remembers that the heat from under the hood provided a bit of a refuge, keeping his sensitive bits nice and toasty.  If only all car mechanics worked naked like Isaac.  Repair shops would make a fortune and it would make those spring tune up appointments a lot more fun.
