Back in August I introduced FH readers to model & photographer RC Clemmons. RC's journey from acting to modeling to photography is a fascinating one and if you have not read it please check out my previous post which features RC's shots of model Tom Stapledon HERE:
RC's experience in front of the camera has been invaluable to his work behind it. RC has a keen eye and the experience to quickly zoom into what it is about each model that will help make 'the' great shot. In the case of Anthony Steckle, RC's focus is not just on his body builder physique but Anthony has a very photogenic face with a great nose and lips which RC Captures beautifully.
My favorite shots from the shoot are the two shots with Anthony on the couch. There is a beautiful softness about them which wonderfully contrasts the other shots of Anthony in the series.
19 year old Anthony Steckle is from just outside Detroit MI. Anthony began bodybuilding in 2007 and has competed in five competition's placing 1st in all of the teen divisions. He is just beginning his career in modeling and wants to focus on body, swim/underwear and fitness shoots.
'This is my second shoot with Anthony. He has only ever shot with me and looks forward to breaking into the industry and collaborating with other photographers. Having both of his nipples pierced Anthony may come across as a tough guy but deep down he is a kind and nice as they come. The connection that we have as friends pushes our chemistry on set to its highest potential
We did this shoot locally in Myrtle Beach towards the end of the summer and as you can see from the sweat beads rolling off his back in the outdoor pics it was hot. The studio shoot was done with the help of my good friend Rob Mills of Rob Mills Photography as he often helps me with the lighting.'

Anthony feels equally positive about working with RC:
'Working with RC is great. He's a great photographer, and better yet, he's an amazing friend. Every time we work with each other, I feel as if nothing can go wrong. He gives great direction each and every time. RX is a great person and I absolutely enjoy our work together.'

RC and Anthony have another shoot planed for February and RC says that it going to take both he and Anthony into a whole new area of work that neither of them have gone to before. I look forward to seeing the results!
Thanks again to RC for sharing his work with FH!
