a thousand words photography by Vanessa Powell

I need to ‘shoot more guys’, I kept telling my friends.  I shoot with a lot of women, but guys?  And *poof*, who suddenly shows up on a shoot with one of my favorite female models?  A wonderful young, male model.  Call me blessed.

I love the images we created.  Love the ‘male energy’ in them.  I love that Gene wore eyeliner for me (against his better wishes), and that he and I had a great time playing in the sunshine. 

I need to ‘shoot more guys’.  Thanks Gene!
