Hello and greetings everyone. Weekend is just around the corner and I am very excited for this coming weekend. Today I want to share another black and white portrait series of a male pageant. This post is the continuation post from my previous Headshot series .

This is Andre, 21 years old and still studying. He also a first time joining a male pageant. He actually a very happy go lucky person. But on this set, he made a very different look from his usual expression. He had a potential for a model.

This is Dexter, 32 years old. He previously joined a local pageant called the Mister Kaamatan. This pageant is a local cultural pageant. He had a very fierce look during the photo session. I like how he can express a different face expression compared to his daily face expression.

This is Aminshah, 20 years old and still studying. This was his first time joining pageant event. One that had a very strong look from the protrait session. He actually had a baby face but during the portrait session he turned himself to a very matured looking man. Kudos to him.

This is Alanveran, 20 years old and an employee. If I am not mistaken before this he already had some experience in photoshooting. One of the easiest to pose because he already had some posing vocabulary. One of the favorite contestant during the event.
Everyone of them had a big potential for a modeling and pageant world, as long as they keep on working hard and polish their skills. I hope to meet them again in the future for more portrait session.
And that is all from me today. I hope that you guys enjoyed reading my post. Have an amazing day and always stay safe. Cheerss!
