Charity calendar shots


Charity calendar shots, originally uploaded by SCrlt_pimpernel.

A friend of mine asked me to shoot some topless/ appearance of nude shots for a calendar to help raise funds for cancer research.
The guy in this shot is called Ahmet, He is of turkish/scottish stock and as you can see has great bone structure.
The shot was lit using just one light with barn doors to keep it tight with a lastolite held off to the left.
I wanted deep hard shadows to help sculpt his muscles and give him that very masculine look.
The shot was taken using my trusty Nikon D700 and then processed using aperture and silver efex.
I am honoured to be part of such a worthy cause and am pleased with how the shots have turned out !
