Jason the Alaskan Fisherman

DanOstergren · Aug 29, 2013

A few more portraits of my new friend Jason. He spends most of his time out at sea fishing for a living. I met him at a bar the other night and asked him if he'd be interested in getting in front of the camera for some portraits, and he was all about it. It's always nice to have someone as enthusiastic about me taking their photos as I am because they always turn out better this way.

All natural available light.

If Mishele sees this, she may move to Alaska.

Love the mustache!

Love these, but I was really distracted by his awesome mustache!

I don't know why, but I imagine he has a Alaskan-regional-french-Canadian accent.

The guy is deffently photogenic...and that mustache does reach out and grabs you.

I love these. Your WB is so much better, the lighting is delicious, the use of the 135 is clear

, and your composition is so appealing. Great set. #3 is my favorite.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm pretty happy with how this shoot came out and look forward to doing more work with this model.

Love the abs shot!

The first two are my favs.

Not crazy about #3. Just reminds me too much of one of those cliche dudeoir fireman shots. The last one is nice, but I prefer the 1st because of the eye contact.

Haha I've never heard of the term dudeoir, that's hilarious!
