STREET STYLE SHOOT W/ LUKE JACOBS

the other day I went down to the Southwest Side of Chicago to one of my favorite little neighborhoods: Pilsen. we caught some last minute golden hour light and banged out a quick shoot in about 40 minutes. we used one location and were able to get quite a few good looks from different positions and angles in that same location…time management is key when you’re shooting for many reasons (here specifically because of the natural light that we were losing so quickly) and it’s important to be aware of that when shooting any time with any one.

Luke has never modeled but I was itching to shoot so I convinced him. my goal when shooting anyone who doesn’t have experience in front of a camera is to just make them as comfortable as possible. the more comfortable your subject is the more of “them” you’ll actually get. in a sense their true self and character will come out the more comfortable they are with you. Luke wanted to rock some fly kicks, some off whites and they worked well with the overall image and look we were going for. enjoy.
