Playboy-the entire shoot & BTS! (Patreon)
Content
This is the shoot that changed my path and got me into pro wrestling.
In other words, this is the last time my body felt pretty damn good overall. :)
I had a test shoot in NY while home for Thanksgiving. On the same weekend, I shot with fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell...which was also a long-time goal. It was crazy that both goals happened on the same weekend - and only after eating a huge Thanksgiving meal full of carbs with a side of carbs, hahaha! My grandmother showed love in many ways with food being one of those-you dared not skip seconds (or thirds) or it meant "I don't love you back" and you'd never hear the end of it. But ye gods of the old and new were with me, as was the force, and everything worked out, thus propelling my career to a new level with some amazing opportunities: Comic books and pro wrestling, along with the chance to travel the world and meet new friends and fans.
Playboy doesn't airbrush as much as rumoured. They DO use a lot of lighting and Nivea lotion, which is a photography secret, giving a dewy appearance to skin, which bounces back light and gives skin a smooth appearance. They also have a crew full of people doing everything, from makeup/hair to lighting, with a boob lighting guy, a leg lighting guy, a butt lighting guy, a face lighting guy, a hair lighting guy, a side lighting guy....and honestly, airbrushing would be far less expensive. But, they get it done.
So, without further ado, here is my layout, which included a nice big centerfold. There's another one or two shoots they did as well that hasn't seen the light of day: one on a treadmill and I think there was one on stairs. If you ever find those, please send them to me!!
