Shooting in a Arcade is a Lot Like Christmas
Games, dark places, and neon lights. This is the second of two photoshoots I was able to do while in Denver with a wonderful model named MiKaila.

My First Experience With A Male Model

Styled photoshoots have always been a cool concept to me, but I've never been able to be involved in one because they've always cost $100+ to participate in. So here's the concept: Include local MUA/Hairstylist, clothing designers, models
