Capturing Kendrick Kemp

Just a few weeks ago a colleague of mine asked me if I was interested in shooting a top Bahamian model. I asked the name, did some research and within the hour accepted. Kendrick's body of work was quite impressive and I looked forward to working with a true professional. What seemed like months away quickly became reality when last Friday we met on location for the shoot which entailed two parts: Male beauty portraits, and a Bang Bang T&T print ad campaign styled by Yosiaha Fletcher and directed by Kai Jankovic.

Nothing beats working with a crew of professionals towards a goal. The shoot which could have taken hours was finished in an hour and a half and proved most rewarding for each of us. Special thanks to my assistant Jaysen Francis who braved the hot sun, and stooping to awkward angles to provide fill light at request, and fellow photographer Barry Williams for the gracious loan of his camera. Most people don't understand it, but for a photographer a camera is an extension of ourselves and not something we trust just anyone with so the gesture was greatly appreciated. Photos from the other half will be posted subsequently after the print ad is run.
