Muscle boy

Commercial photography by Sydney photographer Gavin Jowitt

I was given an open brief for an advertising photography shoot. All I was told was that I needed to ‘put some muscle behind it’. I tried a few different subjects and approaches however it’s this one that made the cut. My boy Flynn took his first paid modelling job very seriously. It was $5 well spent!

Shot outdoors with a cement rendered wall as a backdrop. Lighting from a Profoto Ring Flash adds all the drama and helps to create the feeling that we’re about to go head to head with a gypsy in a bare-knuckle fistfight. To quote Brand Pitt’s character Micky O’Neal in Snatch… “I bet ya can box a little, can’t ya sir? Aye, you look like a boxer”.
