The "OG" look...

The other day I met up with a friend to take a few pictures of him for his business. He wanted some simple head shots and I admit I was kinda nervous because, well, taking pictures of guys is tooootally different than taking pictures of girls, which is what I've been used to so far.  With guys, poses are completely different, ususally much more simpler, and yelling out YOU LOOK FABULOUS!! behind the camera  usually never comes into play.  Yeah, awwwkward! And really, telling a guy to pop your hip! is wierd. So instead of shouting out super girly remarks the first thing that came out of my mouth was Do an OG look!! And for those of you who don't know ghetto talk, that stands for original gangster. Apperantly,  Alex turned out to be ghetto so he totally got what I was saying. After hating on my photography slang a few good laughs Alex looked like he belonged in a lowrider and I was able to capture the image below. So my advice for any photographer who has no idea what poses to use for guys, I'd say the OG look is a good start. Hey, anything to get a good shot.
