Well, it is best to start slowly, just like walking up to wildlife. Which is just what happened, albeit not by plan.
The photography session starts with him wearing a T-shirt that has a “despicable” (cute) on it and his jockey-style under shorts. After an initial shoot, off comes the T-shirt. But still the line of the langot is compromised by the jockies. Not good. Next, we change the back drop so it fully screens him and will create a back lit shadow dance– that is if he is comfortable stripping down under these conditions. He agrees, and I make a video of his shadow tying on the langot. Now he is comfortable enough with the situation… We replace the front fabric so that he is fully visible and I get some really beautiful images of him putting the garment.
Whew! I was really concerned that I was going to have to live with the jockies…
