Virginia: Min
Added 2024-04-19 13:00:03 +0000 UTCI returned to the states in late January, but due to personal and family issues and duties, didn't get to pick up my camera until March. Min is my only shoot I've done back home in the US this year so far and at the moment don't have any others lined up.
Twenty-five year old Min and I connected through Twitter last year before I went abroad in September. He's a couple hours or so from me, and scheduling a shoot then before I left wasn't really an option with our conflicting schedules. We remained in touch off and on and once I returned we started making a plan and looking for some warm-ish days for him to make the long drive over my way.
We got an early start that day - we met around 8am at the local truck stop to sit down for a bit and get to know one another over cheap coffee. I was wearing jeans, layers and a jacket - he shows up in shorts and a hoodie. He assured me he wasn't cold and we knew it was going to warm up as the day progressed, so off we went. I took him up to my usual hiking spot in Shenandoah County - a trail and area I've been on countless times and know pretty well. This series is from the peak and taking advantage of some of that beautiful scenery and morning sun. The shadows really accentuate his ripped physique, not that he needs any help 😏
Speaking of the new model - as I mentioned, he's 25, originally from South Korea, but grew up in California. He comes across a little nerdy (in a cute way), but loves showing off - LOVES it. He's currently trying to grow his OF acct and of course you can see more of him on mine.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
