In my first meeting with fellow photographer Richard Pier Petit some months ago, we (randomly) came to talk about why I rarely photographed men. I said because I photograph for beauty, and I rarely see the kind with what I'm looking for in male models. Richard then said that there were some boys from Ford LA I may like, I was skeptical of course, so when I received Daniel Landroche's photos they surprised me.
With some luck I managed to squeeze in a shoot with Daniel just the day before my flight that trip. And I'm really glad we shot together, it was beautiful.

Oh for the love of all things holy. What a wonderful picture, the light, and the refections (?) are fascinating and visually captivating. The model is visually arresting.
The way I see it, it's like he's emerging from shadows into the light. The balance of dark vs. light, like yin and yang, is beautiful to me. The way he's caught in the middle is very striking. It's hard for me to resonate with photos, but it was like this one was telling a story that I could relate to!
