Hello to all my friends in the black and white community. I hope you're all doing well and that everything is going smoothly there. It's me, Menti, and I'm back with another photo and another blog post. Today's photo is of a cool, attractive, and muscular male model in nature, specifically a forest covered in leaves and trees in the fall. It was a paradoxical shoot; such a style doesn't typically have a great synergy with nature, but we decided to break some rules to achieve an interesting result.

Let me explain the project in full. We had gone to the forest for a formal wedding video shoot and decided to take some photos afterward. I chose the groom as my model and asked him to walk towards me, looking around or sometimes adjusting his sunglasses. I used continuous shooting mode with autofocus tracking to capture him as he moved. The depth of field my lens provided was incredible, giving us a beautiful blurry background. Walking shots are always fun, and something I've noticed is that some photographers ask their models to pose while walking, which I don't agree with. It makes the final photo look too posed and unnatural. My approach is to tell my model to move, be aware of the light, and just be themselves. This gets us closer to what we need.

When we reached the spot I wanted, I zoomed in a bit and shot from a low angle to make my model look more imposing and emphasize his masculinity. My colleague, Farideh Shahadi, was also there filming, sometimes capturing the bride and sometimes the couple together. A shoutout to her for her hard work.

Good contrast with the formality of the model among its natural surroundings.
