Sorry for the title. I've been an on EDM kick (*cough*Tiesto*cough*) and it's 1:00 a.m. And this post isn't too NSFW so y'all can all calm down. I'm looking at you mmaria (kidding, kidding).

Anyways, my neighbor said he wanted some photos taken for his various profiles and things and such.

It's always kind of funny though how you'll get an attractive everyperson (IE: not a model) in front of the camera and they'll say "I am not photogenic at all. I look pretty rough. Ugh."

And you gotta give em that "Dude, you can't be so down on yourself when you're channeling a proto-Ernest Hemingway. You're basically a 10/10" look

Well maybe not that specific look but you know what I mean, right?

I did my best even though my apartment is about as aesthetic as a doctor's office.

LOL thanks for the laugh!

I hear this every time, like every time when I start to shoot someone

I'm not liking #2, don't like his expression

Yeah, he was actually laughing in that shot, which is why his eyes are kind of squinty, heh. It's one of those shots that I like for the moment and because I know him and his expressions as opposed to being a shot that is really...I don't know the word...model...y

Wow, he really is channeling Hemingway. 1930s, the Pauline years.

I like #3 the best. His face is fine in #2 and 5 (for me anyway) but his arms are awkward. They're more natural in #4. That "outtake" triptych is really cute.

Given the location, I'd say you did pretty darn good. FWIW, I agree with Maria and Lenore.

Haha yeah I didn't notice it until I brought out the flash and then I was like "...woah..."

Whoops, I accidentally added the same photo twice. Lemme fix it
