Mezie

You may have noticed that I haven't used male models much. And I would like to start changing that, especially because men were worthy fighters who fought wars and represented the authority in the long-gone communities. Which is why I proposed a collaboration to one of my dear friends in Stockholm.



I introduce you to Mezie. He is very nice and friendly and is originally from Nigeria. The chance made us meet in Sweden and remain good friends. And I must be a hypocrite not to admit that his physique played an important role in choosing him as a model. He goes to the gym regularly and takes great care of his diet, and this is easily noticeable. An example to follow!



We did not have access to old accessories or clothing, and maybe not even the time to try and improvise something, which is why we agreed that it is easier to just make use of his harmonious body. We didn't have much to walk for the chosen place either. We both lived in a quiet neighborhood, littered with clumps of forest everywhere. In other words, we did not put much energy and time into the preparation and the session did not last long either, but this was due to the chilly weather. Even so, we were pleased with the photos. For the one chosen for post-processing, I attached a blade to the top of a piece of wood. In this way I gave it more utility and a better use.



If we refer to the chosen photo, we could say that our subject is a fearless fighter of a tribe attacked by either a wild animal or other barbarians and he is preparing for defense, waiting for his opponent with his eyes full of anger and hatred.
