The story behind the image
As a wedding photographer I don’t get to shoot models very often. Back in 2009 I wanted to experience what it is like when working with models and decided to attend a half-day photo training course in Munich. The teacher had booked Edin Kamaric who stood at the beginning of his model career at that time.
The first part was a discussion about what makes a good portrait photo. I had my own ideas which resonated very well with the trainer. The location was an old parking garage in Munich’s Westend, and Edin had put on a black suit and Prada sunglasses – a great look. The garage provided the backdrop for grey, industrial looking shots, but after a while we went further down into the garage to shoot more photos that left our comfort zone (in terms of available light.)
We did this photo in one of the upper floors of the garage, and I like the powerful appearance of Edin.
Wanna book him? He’s under contract with Model Management.
