Rooftop lifestyle shoot at sunset by Benjamin Traves

This shoot was a lot of fun, as you can probably tell, but it was actually a lot of work too. First, to coordinate four different male models from various agencies, plus a makeup artist and a wardrobe stylist, just the scheduling alone was a challenge. We had a very limited window of time to get the shots before we lost the sun and I needed everyone to have a good expression at the same time, which is hard without making things look too artificial and posed.

These are a few of my favorites from the series (slideshow):

It was great working with Ben Carter of Aston Models while I was in LA

Here's a screenshot of six images the agency used for his portfolio and you can also click through the gallery below of my favorites from the shoot. Images were made using a Canon 50mm f/1.2 L and the Canon 5D Mk III
