Sharp Dressed Man - Pete Maddocks Model Shoot

I met Pete through a search of Model Mayhem (proof that it can work). He came out for our Evening Wear shoot and we hit it off great. Pete is a great model and a great guy. He works well with everyone, allows direction and adds creative suggestions on how to get a great shot.

Pete and I both wanted to add to our portfolios so we decided to head out to a spot in NJ across from Manhattan to capture some new shots. A storm had just cleared out and left behind an interesting, cloudy-blue sky. We were both glad that we took the chance of shooting that day even though it had been raining earlier. But with the cool sky and the NYC skyline in the background, the scene was set!

 Here's Pete as "the man on the go". Doesn't he look determined to get somewhere important?

 I liked this shot with the straight lines behind him. Thought it made an interesting background.

We had plenty of sunlight by the time we started shooting but I also added some light of my own to balance things out. Here's Pete waiting for someone to arrive. Someone with important information. Or maybe someone that has something for him?

I think Pete has a great look. And he's awesome to work with. I hope I can cast in him in a role for a great ad campaign in the future.
