THE THOUGHT PROCESS
I had the honor of being one of the first to photograph Renati as he breaks into the modelling world.
Even though still new, I was impressed at how he could model, coolness one minute and happy go lucky the next.  

For this photo exhibition shoot, I wanted a Bruno Mars type of vibe.  This image was shot through branches along a dirt road.  I thought the branches added a bit of visual interest, but Renati looking straight down the camera, is still what grabs my attention.  This was my favorite shot of him.

Very easy to direct, and a genuinely nice person, I can't wait to see where his modelling adventures take him in the future.

One to watch,
