It's all about heights and falls and how you land and stand inbetween. Walking the streets of Downtown Miami we spend the afternoon with Louie Laborde from Music Box Mix. With a splash of sangria and a few orange peels the day was high climbing, floor crawling and yes, even a little afternoon siesta inbetween.
Model: Louie Laborde
Home town: Miami, FL
Shoot Location: Downtown Miami, FL
Association: Music Box Mix
Louie says, "Wil's eye for a great shot, for the framing of a photo, for capturing a moment is his forté. Not being a professional model and suddenly being in front of a camera can feel intimidating, but there an ease about his process and approach that I knew whether I was posing, moving, or had an idea in mind that he was naturally going to capture that in a way that I would be happy with. The pictures speak for themselves. I climbed scaffolding, swung from bars, hiked up a monument, threw myself on ferns, mounted myself on tall metallic bars and jumped into a cascading fountain and twisted my body up in another art installation in the middle of downtown all the while Wil secured in every shot the intention behind my madness. It was a trajectory of a man in motion, reaching out for higher ground, and the story is told in amazing, bold colors, structure and continuity. The experience itself was as gratifying as these shots are appealing to the eye. "
