I have teased shots of Shawn as 'pic of the day' the last two Thursdays while on blog vacation. Ever since I started showcasing the work of Marlen Boro, Shawn has been on my radar. Marlen of course, more in touch with his art, his focus, much more than I and was in no particular hurry to have his shots of Shawn on FH.
It wasn't that Marlen was not wanting Shawn profiled, he was. Marlen enjoyed working with Shawn and was happy with the results. It is just that Marlen, like any great parent has difficulty favoring one model, one shoot more than another.
Marlen's philosophy on photography is one I don't always see, and is one that is very refreshing. Marlen, recently interviewed on SavvyLiving with Marcinho Savant, talked about seeing his work more parallelled to that of a wedding photographer than a fashion photographer. Fashion photographers most often must use the model to fit the vision of the those representing the product. Wedding photographer's see their goal as to fulfill the vision, the dreams of the models they shoot.
That is Marlen's goal and the focus on Male Boudoir. Shawn's focus was to create great photos that show muscle tone and body figure. Shawn is an model and actor and it is important his shots can be utilized for both portfolios. Shawn is moving to LA at the end of the month to pursue his acting goals so keep your eye out for him on screen in the future!
"Shawn and I have worked together over the last few years - always a pleasure and a total professional. It's awesome that he's pursuing his dreams and I can't wait to see him succeed!"
