MODERN MEN | A portrait experience featuring Osman
Despite me often taking photos of everyday women you can also find me photographing men. I work with male clients looking to update acting/modeling portfolios or looking to update their business headshots and personal branding photos but I also photograph male clients who want to celebrate their life and achievements and exist in portraits for themselves and their families. Here I want to share some of the favorite portraits from a studio photo shoot with my awesome client Osman, a registered nurse that wanted to celebrate and document his life in portraits, a tradition that has been in his family for generations. After a while looking for a photographer in the Sacramento Area, Osman found me and followed me through my social media channels and after a phone consultation we knew we were the perfect match to achieve the type of portraits he was looking for. Osman is a total gentleman, very kind, grounded and is always with a great positive attitude and a smile on his face. I feel so honored I got to meet and photograph this amazing human being. Here some of his favorites portraits.
Just like the awesome women I’ve been honored to photograph, the great majority of my male clients have no modeling experience and most of them haven’t been photographed before they visit my studio for the first time. When it comes to posing and getting that natural expression you can rest assured you are in good hands, regardless your experience in front of the camera I will not only make sure you look amazing in your photos but also that you will feel comfortable while having fun and enjoying your photo shoot. I create magazine style portraits in the studio and offer men’s lifestyle shoots that can be in-studio or on-location. Osman opted for a studio-only session with a modern magazine look. I photographed him wearing 6 different looks , here some of his favorites wearing a casual look. Wouldn’t you say he looks great in red?
Osman also picked an amazing cultural outfit to celebrate his roots. Because this was a very special outfit for him, Osman wanted to be photographed in a fine art portraiture style, the portraits on this set were his absolute favorites so he decided to pick up one to be enlarged and now a beautiful acrylic fine art print decorates the walls of his home.
I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into Osman’s photoshoot. If you found these portraits inspiring don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d love to customized a portrait session to fit your style.
