'I went into modeling with the mentally that I had to take everything off.'
When photographer Michal Booth first saw images of 18 year old aspiring model Frost, he knew he couldn't pass up doing a soot. If you follow FH, you know that Michal is one of my favorite artists to feature. His stunning imagery being the main reason of course, but the Dallas photographer's ability to discover and shoot new and breathtaking models in another. Sometimes working with models on their first professional shoot can be a challenge, but Michal says that Frost is incredibly smart, focused and more mature that your average 18 year old.
Frost's shoot with Michal was not only his first time modeling, but his first time taking it all off for the camera. Although initially nervous, Frost knows what he wants, and is focused on his goals. It also didn't hurt that Frost was used to stripping down in front of other guys in the locker room having spent most of his life playing sports. Sports may have helped Frost develop his lean physique, but there is also a natural confidence that exudes from his beautiful blue eyes.
Michal beautifully captured that confidence and maturity. Michal also captured Frost's sensuality, and though this may have been first time in front of the camera, his relationship with it, and the viewers on the other side, is already skilfully strong and intense. Michal and Frost have already shot twice, a third in the planning stages. These images are from their first session earlier this spring. Given my curiosity about firsts, I through Frost some question. Frost shares what initially drew him to modeling, what it was like shooting naked for the first time, and how fortunate he was it was with someone as helpful and professional as Michal.
