Blake Logan by Chris Ian Garlington



Did I mention Blake Logan is also modeling. Blake has done some runway work for both Nike and Puma and has a wonderful portfolio courtesy of photographer Chris Ian Garlington.



I first discovered Chris's work earlier this year and posted a great shot he did of Lee Williams as a pic of the day. Chris is an interesting guy and it was fun to get to know more about him through his site.

From Chris Ian's site: Shotting With Chris

Chris Ian Garlington covered breaking news for local & national TV stations including CNN, The Weather Channel, WKMG, WFTV, WESH, WOFL, CFN13, The New York Times, and more. Chris was a stringer in Orlando from August, 2004 until June 2007. Before that, Chris was a stringer in the Philadelphia suburbs from 1996 to 1999. Chris moved to Los Angeles in June 2007 to pursue filmmaking and is currently a photographer, filmmaker and entrepreneur based in Los Angeles.



I love Chris Ian's shots of Blake. The shots show Blake in a wide variety of lights including fun loving, venerable and of course sexy. In looking at more of his the work 'alive' kept going through my head. Whether he was photographing children's faces or the lights in Las Vegas there was a vibrancy that sprang from his work which I truly loved. So many photographers seem to use mood and lighting to have models almost look inhuman. Chris Ian's subjects look very much bright and alive.

Chris Ian strives for the best, and has began a blog to spotlight some of the best things he has seen as well as experienced. Chris is able to make the normal look both unique and powerful. My guess is some of this comes from his years as a stringer whose job is to get 'the shot' with very little time or preparation. His ability to zoom in on what is important and hit the essence of his subject is truly a gift. You can check out much more of Chris Ian's work at his site HERE:
