Carlos was performing in a production of LOVE,VALOUR,COMPASSION! His sultry look reminded me of a Von Gloeden figure, so we arranged to shoot on the set one night after the performance.

He makes for an amazing view. the expresion, the metal work, the pose and color.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see it with a slightly softer focus. The color, pose, attitude and flavor is spot on. The sharp focus for me reveals the imitation. I'll always know it is an homage and an illusion, but I don't want to see the mechanics of it.
