New Work for Appointments' Penfest 2013

New work for Appointments in Cincinnati, Ohio. Penfest is their annual event where representatives from one to two dozen of the world's most prestigious manufacturers of fine pens gather at their store to  show their complete lines and introduce new items. It is a pen lover's dream and attracts people from as far away as Memphis and Detroit. This is my third year to provide the photography for the advertising of the event. Brown Workshop provided the graphics.

The postcard flyer layout is shown below.

Ankur in Shades of Gray

Many believe models are little more than pretty faces, forever obsessed with their appearance, checking themselves out in mirrors and shop windows in stereotyped narcissism. I've got some news for you: models who do that are rarely that good. At least that's what my experience has shown. We should all be concerned enough about our appearance that we take at least one quick look in the mirror before leaving home to ensure we're not going to be a complete embarrassment to ourselves, our family, our friends, or our community. Just a brief glance to see our clothes are on right side out, there's no toothpaste running down the sides of our mouth, things like that.

Ankur Man is one of those models who spends just a fraction of a second with a mirror. He is working towards his PhD, is an articulate blogger, and positivity radiates from him. Check out what beautiful things he has to say about his home away from home, Cincinnati, Ohio to know there's a lot more to this model than meets the eye!
