Wesley Hartman

Yesterday provided a very interesting Senior session. Wesley is a very interesting young man… never a dull moment as I told him, he’s involved in writing, motorcycling, swimming and airsoft competition. Whew!

When his mother Pam called to ask if they were welcome to bring props of their own, I told her I’d be happy to accommodate.

The first prop was rather large, a Honda motorcycle (and they didn’t even know I’m a huge Honda fan!):

I love this shot!

The next prop was slightly out of the ordinary, a Ruger .44 caliber revolver. Wesley is a fan of the Roland character from Steven King’s “The Dark Tower” series, he’s also written some spin-off pieces of his own based on the character. So, we did some “Gunslinger” themed shots at his request:


And one very intense image:

Yes, I was in fact staring down the barrel of a loaded gun! Of course, we took every appropriate safety measure when photographing this image.

Thanks to Mark Hartman for all his knowledge and help during the entire session!

I can’t wait to finish Wesley’s project, which will include a 20 page hard bound book from the session’s images!
