Madison Rowley II- Champion of Beards

[DanOstergren28 3]

Some of you may remember the shot of Madison that I posted a few months ago. I've been going through a bit of an art-block over these last few months, so editing has been very slow for me. Anyways, I recently edited a couple more from this shoot and wanted to share them. Yes, they're a bit dark, but that is how I've been feeling and is the look I was going for.

A bit of back-story: Madison is currently the champion title holder of the World Beard and Mustache Championships in the Garibaldi category. He was recently contacted by ABC and was cast in an upcoming show, and they will potentially be using my photographs for his reveal. I'm pretty freaking excited about that!

First shot is great.

That's a major league beard. How long did it take him to get there?
